Question about an impossible task

My lady’s 18 year old son is in a horrible relationship with a really toxic girl. This girl is straight up bad news in the worst ways. He has declared his endless love and is all in. His mom and sister have confronted him full on about it and he gives all the true love and you don’t understand bullshit. My instinct, desire and plan is to stay the fuck out of it. I am not even talking about it with him. I just sit and look at the wall or read a book. I can’t emphasis enough how I am not getting involved but as a thought experiment I will ask the question.

Is there any way in hell to talk an 18 year old boy in deep love out of it?

I told his mom he is just going to have to ride this nightmare out and hit the wall and hope he learns a lesson. She agrees with me staying out of it and has taken the only steps she can. The girl can not come over and she will not give him money to take her on dates or give him rides to see her. She also agrees that I am to keep my trap shut. So just wondering for wondering sake.

This. Some lessons have to be learned first hand.

Your instincts are correct. Mom’s registered her opinion and now needs to keep out of it. Any more pressure will drive the kid even further into the arms of his “loved one”.

Unless, unless, there is truly any violence happening, then a domestic abuse hotline might be needed.

18 yo, you say?

she will not give him money to take her on dates or give him rides to see her.

I’m just gonna leave this right here… if all answers aren’t obvious from here, well… we definitely grew up different.

Good luck, and I sincerely mean that.

Agreed

Firstly, teenage girls are batshit crazy. I’m an expert. Secondly, your instincts are absolutely correct. What you can do is support the kid and be there throughout the torture he is/will endure and help him when the inevitable occurs. He will need you at that time and you’ll help him avoid a sequel.

It sucks so hard. He is a good kid BUT as an 18 year old he has his own crazy brain that is tilting this to a nuclear detonation. AHHH!!!

I apologized to my parents yesterday because I didn’t listen to them at that age and I should have.

Introduce him to a nicer, hotter teen girl that fucks him better than his current girl and it’s done.

Unfortunately, he’ll have to sort it out like we all did. Support him, let him know you’re there for him and whatever happens with psycho chick it’s his decision and you want him to be happy. Then he’ll confide in you and you can arrange the exorcism - it’ll be fine…eventually.

Nope. In 2 weeks my son will marry one of the most evil women placed on this earth. I, his mother, and his sister have tried to talk sense into him to no avail. She is mentally and physically abusive and, unfortunately, he is stuck in her web. Watching it evokes a pain you cannot even fathom. But he is an adult and we have done all we can. So now it is on him.

Let. It. Go.

Bummer.

Bummer.

Like you cannot even imagine.

My best friend in high school married a crazy, evil bitch. We all tried to tell him but she tossed his salad and massaged his prostate and he figured he’d never find any other chick that would do that so he bought the cow.

3 years later they were divorced and she gave birth to a half black kid (neither my friend or this chick are black…do the math).

Anyway, he’s since remarried to a nice stoner chick who presumably has the magic fingers as well…

I hope for my sake, the sake of my son and my sake that my boy finds a womens that is acceptable to Mrs. Duffy.

If not, our lives will be hell.

Btw, I know a guy…

Introduce him to a nicer, hotter teen girl that fucks him better than his current girl and it’s done.

Sound reasonable…

It would work. “In love” at 18 is really just “she fucks me better than I thought was possible.” Once he realizes that he can get fucked way better than he’s getting fucked now his “love” for her will fizzle faster than the fuse on a Mexican M80.

Already happened. Dumped the new girl to go back with the psycho.

Yeah, that was horrible advice by Duffy, et al. The “go with the girl who fucks the best and is the lowest maintenance” is what middle-aged guys do. Young guys latch on to “true love.”

No.

Not me, anyway. I always fell for pussy. All that skin and bone and limbs and personality surrounding it was largely irrelevant.

Fair enough. There is a certain type of teenage guy, whoever who falls for classic Victorian true love. It’s the “Dawson’s Creek” archtype. If you were able to skip that BS and go straight to prioritizing minimum drama and maximum pussy then you “won puberty.”

I don’t know what that is but I can guess.

That’s pretty much what I did. I had my favorite (and ended up marrying her eventually) but I was very up front with girls in high school and up until my early 20s. I was very honest about what I wanted. I wanted to have fun and part of that was fucking. If I found someone compatable I’d hang around for a bit but eventually things would “slow down” and I’d find someone new.

Or they found me. Girls talk. Treat one right and her friends will get in line to get their piece.

It’s what I did. Some people played sports or did theater.

Nobody ever really got mad at me either.

Drugs helped also.
