My S24 is an interesting kid. Learned from the school of hard knocks. Dropped out of high school (against his parents' advice), had a DUI and went through rehab and lots of stuff with the law, and finally pulled himself out of his hole about 1 1/2 years ago. He got a job selling used cars and hung out with the owners at their houses. One of the owners left his wife and started dating strippers. (At least that's what she told me.) The wife is 36 and pretty with 2 kids. She takes up with S24. They date quietly for a couple of months, and then it's this big love thing, and the husband figures out who her BF is and fires S. So son is without a job and living in a nice highrise on the beach. She gets pregnant and they are talking about getting married when the divorce is final. Son is spending several nights a week at her house. They are in LOVE. She miscarries in October, but is pregnant again in April!
So son is struggling to make a living. He starts a business, and it gets a pretty good start, but it is slow. He buys her expensive jewelry and takes her out to concerts. She does not get a job, is just a soccer Mom. About a month ago she had a miscarriage. After that she starts being colder to him. He moves home to save money on rent. They break up and make up twice a week. So I ask what's wrong. He won't tell me. So I say, well, it's better for you this way. You are just starting a business, you're young and you don't need to be saddled with a wife and 2 kids. You can't support yourself yet. You certainly can't support her." So he blushes and says, "That's sort of what it's about."
DUH!!!! She took a year to figure out that a 24 year old kid with his first job, paid by the hour by her husband, and then fired, doesn't make enough to support her! She got pregnant not once, but twice, during this year trying to rope him in. And now she is rejecting him because he is Surprise!!! a 25 year old (today's his birthday) kid not yet supporting himself.
Now I'm angry because today is his birthday, and he went to spend the weekend with her, and she sent him home at 8:00 this morning, on his birthday. Who breaks up with someone on their birthday? Man she is a self-serving piece of work.
