When one boy turned to his parents for relationship advice he got two very different answers -- his dad's revealing how much he regrets choosing his mom.
We can all agree our younger selves made some serious mistakes. But every now and them, our young selves get it right, and end up making decisions that lead to a fulfilled and loving life -- but it's hard to know for sure in the moment. That's why one son turned to his parents foron whether or not he should try and make a long distance relationship work with his girlfriend when he leaves for college in the fall. s -- mainly because he regretted doing something similar with his own wife.
"He asked his mom and me what we thought he should do, and for a long time I refused to advise him," the dad wrote. "His mother/my wife, on the other hand, has encouraged him to stay with his girlfriend, even though I asked her to remain impartial." Even though the father gave him very high level, generalized opinions, he wouldn't specifically advise his son. The boy however was insistent on hearing his dad's opinion, and when dad opened up, it wasn't exactly"pretty.""...but in many ways I regret choosing to make a commitment to my wife when we were so young. We had a similar issue. I applied to graduate schools and ended up getting offers from schools in NY and LA which I really liked.
The dad freely admitted all of this to his son, and"advised him to think about if he wants that hanging over him while he is away at school.""To be tied down like this during the best years of his life is going to give him a very different college experience and probably limit him in many ways. I did not tell him he should break up, but I did strongly urge him to consider if he is prepared to make that sacrifice and end up like me wondering what he missed out on.
