My son (43) is in a controlling relationship. His woman friend is 28 and wants more from this than he does. Every time he tries to end the relationship she does the sobbing, threatens suicide etc. Emotional blackmail is my view (sounds harsh, I know). He says he is too soft and doesn't want to upset her too much, but I think it would be kinder to make a clean break; she can then move on. She's relatively young and I think wants a child with him, which I think would be a disaster. he doesn't want children, which is sad from my point of view, as I would like another grandchild. What say you empathetic souls out there
