His Teenaged Son’s Ex-Girlfriend Called Him Drunk And Distraught In The Middle Of The Night, So He Allowed Her To Stay Over And Join Them At Breakfast The Next Morning, But He Did Not Give His Son Any Heads Up Beforehand
This forty-six-year-old man and his wife have an eighteen-year-old son who is currently in his senior year of high school. And for the past two years, his son had been dating a great girl from school.
But, at the end of October, his son’s relationship ended pretty badly. Apparently, the couple went to a Halloween party, and while there, his son got broken up with.
So, ever since then, his son and ex-girlfriend have reportedly despised each other. Anytime they bump into one another, he claims that they are very cold.
Honestly, though, he and his wife absolutely loved their son’s girlfriend while they were dating.
“His ex-girlfriend is well-mannered and intelligent. My wife and I both adore her. Her parents are the same,” he revealed.
Additionally, he honestly has no idea why his son and ex actually broke up at all. His son has refrained from sharing the details, although it is apparent that his son has been extremely hurt by the split.
Anyway, just a few nights ago, he started receiving several calls from a random phone number in the middle of the night.
The calls ultimately woke him up, and he answered. But, he was not expecting to be speaking with who was on the other end of the line.
Apparently, it was his son’s ex-girlfriend who was crying and mumbling. The teen was also going on and on about her mother– which he could barely make out since her words were incoherent.

So, it quickly became clear that his son’s ex was inebriated, and he attempted to calm the girl down. And afterward, his son’s ex reportedly asked if she could stay the rest of the night in his guest bedroom.
Now, he did not want to leave a clearly upset and incapacitated teenage girl with nowhere to spend the night. In turn, he ended up telling his son’s ex that she could, of course, sleepover at their house.
Moreover, he said she could stay for as long as she needed.
However, by the next morning, his son’s ex was clearly in the house. Rather than telling his son about what had happened, though, he and his wife just decided to set a place for the teenage girl at breakfast– giving his son absolutely no warning that she would be joining them.
So, after his son walked into the kitchen and saw his ex sitting there, his son was obviously pretty flabbergasted. In fact, he claims that his son was ready to walk right out before he encouraged his son to stay and eat.
Still, as you can imagine, the breakfast was not all “happy-go-lucky.”
“It was quite awkward, to say the least, though it is evident that they clearly still like each other as I have seen her at our house,” he said.
Regardless of whether that is true or not, his son’s ex still ended up leaving the breakfast a bit early. Apparently, she claimed her parents would get worried if she stayed out any longer and said she should probably head home.
At that point, his son did offer to give his ex a ride. But, she plainly said “no thank you” and reportedly left on the spot.
And immediately afterward, his son was seriously pissed off at him and his wife. Understandably, his first question pertained to why the heck his ex was there at a family breakfast.
Then, even after he explained the situation, his son was still really upset. His son claimed that he and his wife were totally invasive of a space in his son’s life that is still really fragile.
Moreover, he got accused of disrespecting boundaries by not even informing his son that his ex would be staying over.
“[My son] told me that I should have at least warned him that she would be here,” he admitted.
So now, he has been questioning his role in the whole situation and is wondering if allowing his son’s ex to sleep over, encouraging her to stay for breakfast, and not telling his son about any of this beforehand make him a total jerk.
Why do you think his son’s ex’s first instinct was to call him when she was in trouble? If you received a call from a drunk teen with nowhere to go, would you open your house up, too? Even so, should he have told his son that his ex was there and would be joining them for breakfast? Do you think he could have handled this situation better?
