to break-up or not?
My daughter is/was going with a guy. She is 25, he is 28. He's a very nice guy. My wife and I like him a lot. They were together for 6 months and it looked pretty serious. We even got invited to his parents house for dinner. We went, met them and had a nice evening. The one problem is this, my daughter is a very motivated young lady who wants a good, solid future. She is artistic, went to the the top rated art college and is just finishing up her Masters in Art Education and will probably get a good teaching position since she is well liked and knows how to "network." The boyfriend, on the other hand, has a dead-end job pumping gas, dropped out of college and seems to have no ambition or drive. He spends a lot of time (and his money) smoking pot with his buddies. My daughter has tried to get him to quit pot, go back to school, look for a more promising job and make somthing of himself. If not for her, at least for himself. After giving him several opportunities to try, she finally told him, she can't stay with him if he doesn't do something for himself. He promises to try, cries over the phone, but does not seem to follw through on his promises. What does the Tribe think?
