Grandson and his partner have separated and I am so worried

I guess there’s always someone who can prove me wrong paddyanne ? but it hasn’t changed my mind I still think your examples aren’t the norm nowadays particularly, young people should have fun and experiences in their teens before they settle otherwise they look for their experiences after the relationship has worn out as in this case but now there’s a baby in the equation and lots of broken hearts
I wish I d have been as wise as you janeRu?

A lot of criticism here, Bluebelle. Really it's not for any of us to say what should have been, is it? I know many who married their first boyfriends and it worked out, plus some who waited and married later and it maybe didn't. Just the way it goes.

What I do think will work is if you don't add an opinion to what's happened, keep taking care of the GGS on the same basis and everyone stay friendly, including - one would hope (as they share a child) the couple themselves. It's what's known as the Swedish model - people marry, have children, divorce, get new partners and often the new families are friends and meet up as extended families. it can work fine.

I agree with everything Starblaze has said. I wish you much luck.?

My son had an affair and it totally ruined my relationship with my DIL. We still see the DGC but things have never been the same between us even though they made it up and are still together. Also we were very supportive of her and condemned what he did. She did lots of crazy things like giving away presents we bought DGS clothes, toys etc and then buying exactly the same herself!
Previously she was like a daughter to me and we loved her very much
Be prepared for some changes but hopefully all will work out ok for you all.

My husband and I have been together since we were sixteen. I know of plenty others. We were ‘ partners’ from the start. So sorry this has happened Kartush, but as others have said, don’t do or say anything, just carry on as you were and give help/ advice only when asked.....if you are able too. Hope it works out well for you all.
