for all the stupid things that husbands could/can do, he did the ultimate!! he pulled my son's gf aside and told her what she had done was rude and inconsiderate! we all know what she did was rude and inconsiderate, but it wasn't his place to tell her that. he basically took it out of my son's hands and tried to handle things himself. of course, the gf started crying! that made my son even more mad! now the whole class knows that my son is upset with his gf and she's crying. needless to say we didn't stay for the dancing portion of the banquet as we could see that my son wasn't having a good time any more. as i'm typing this, my son is in the front yard on the phone with the gf. we'll see how things go.

Your husband is lucky that he did not get arrested for assault and battery for grabbing that young girl like that. There is a time and a place for things like this and that was not the proper time to do anything like that (never mind the assault and battery charges that he could face). I hope that your husband gets the needed counceling that he needs so that he can conduct himself in a more civilized manner.

he never physically pulled the ex gf. he just asked her if he could talk to her. but i was mad that he even butted into the situation. if was up to my son on how he wanted to handle the situation. since my son broke up with her 2 days later he did what he thought was good for him. yes the time and place was not at the banquet. i wanted him to concentrate more on our daughter who was interacting more with one of her brother's friends.

Oh geez...teens and matters of the heart...tread carefully! Your husband really should not have done that...he sees that now, right? I get how he feels. I've felt like jumping in when my girls have been in these situations...it never works out well. They get mad and the guy gets mad and I end up feeling like a jerk. I've learned to just offer advice if asked, moral support if needed but unless it would have to be something that affected me personally for me to get so involved that I confronted the boyfriend/girlfriend. It might not be the right way to handle it but I'm sure that any parent of teens understands why he did it.
