Had a very long, frank talk with easy child last night. Explained that we were not only concerned for him, but for his girlfriend. I told him about the phone and the number of times she was calling. This doesn't even include the number of times to the house phone and the 'legal' cell.
Also talked about the issue that she is giving up a full-ride scholarship at a VERY nice college to come back to be with him. That is not right for her.
Once I got husband to stop lecturing (yawn), and let easy child talk, he said he doesn't want this relationship. It's his first girlfriend and they've been together for 3 years. It's almost like asking for a divorce. He doesn't know how to do it.
Once he started talking, he poured it out. He says he actually likes it when she is at college because he gets to hang out with friends. Even girls. GASP!!
Most of us have been in the position of having to break a relationship. It is not easy. He claims he's going to do it this week, but is afraid of what she might do to herself. Bring in big guilt trip now.
I asked him...do you really think you're going to marry her? He laughed and said, heck no! Then don't ruin the golden years of being young. Go experience life.
Fingers crossed that he might actually do this.
