Young love pains.

Today my eldest granddaughter came very sad. She had broken with her boy friend. They had been dating for years and she was thinking about maybe living with him. I asked her what happened to the plans of going abroad to study a postgrade, but she had been thinking about waiting "until he grew up". OMG! He is 26 years old. If he has not grown up by then, he won´t. My granddaughter works and she lives in her own apartment. She told me that he would not seek any work to help out with the bills and that he was not doing well at all at his studies either. She confessed that all he did well was drink more than what he should and then say that he was not interested in money (but yet he is interested in eating with my granddaughter´s money). I had to bite my tongue so as to stop myself from saying what I wanted. I did tell her though that is was better to discover early if they did not get along. Still, she loves him and she was very unhappy. But I hope that she moves on. From what she told me, the boy got drunk too many times. That could mean that he is an alcoholic. And it seems that his father is about the same. What can you say in those cases? Just hold her tight, I suppose.
