[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 607219, member: 14557"] Yeah, difficult child didn't cheat anyone (at least to my knowledge.) And I also don't get why _the sisters_ of the persons involved seem to take the greatest offence anyway. I do however understand why difficult child tries to clean those messages from his accounts. They are embarrassing. And he did break some kind of secret rules of jock brotherhood (I think not sleeping with each other women is the first rule of that...) At least this new boyfriend is not his former team mate or anything like that. That would had been huge blow to difficult child's reputation. After all he has broken those jock trust and honour codes before. Of course one could claim hypocrisy in that too. Ex-girlfriend and new boyfriend were having a fling behind difficult child's back first. But apparently difficult child is still a bad guy in whole mess. Of course difficult child is an outsider. Both ex-girlfriend and new boyfriend are part of long standing jock/cool kid crowd in that city and if I have understood correctly ex-girlfriend and new boyfriend have had a long standing on/off relationship. So difficult child just ended to be part of one much longer off-period, I guess. As I said, real soap opera, and luckily not too serious. Kids just being kids. It also seems difficult child learned a lesson. He has cleaned his Fb account (with those 900 and some closest friends) considerably. It's not squeaky clean yet, but everything even a bit hazardous from career point of view has disappeared. And easy child had gotten a friend request from someone with name closely resembling few difficult child's nicknames and with short friend list that includes most of difficult child's real, close friends/peers. Boy seems to be learning... Upallnight: I at times almost envy my difficult child and his certain boldness. It may well be only because he doesn't think things through, but he certainly isn't shy of just going and trying something new. He is certainly collecting life experiences that most people never have. I have always been quite security seeking and it amazes me, how my son with anxiety issues can be so adventurous and independent. And he really is compared to his peers. His agent praised him after difficult child chose his current team, that difficult child is a rare exception and often he has difficulties to coax his young customers in difficult child's situation to even move to different side of the country for optimal development path and he has never managed to coax anyone even close to as young as difficult child to try difficult child's current league even though it would be optimal level in certain time of their career. Still most go for safe and familiar. I have to say that seems to be something difficult child doesn't even seem to consider when making his decisions. My easy child is almost as old as difficult child was, when he left home. And if easy child would be put to that situation, being forced to consider moving alone to different part of the country there he knows almost no one and to very adverse situation (which of course was difficult child's own doing and easy child would never make a mess like that, so he doesn't have to deal that kind of adversity), I think easy child wouldn't even give it a try but would give up.
