She Doesn’t Really Want To Meet Her Son’s New Girlfriend Because He Cheated On His Long-Term Girlfriend And Left Her For This Married Woman, Who Is 13 Years Older
Four months ago, this 47-year-old woman’s 23-year-old son was unfaithful to his girlfriend, 22, whom he’d been dating for the last eight years.
The woman her son cheated with was 36-years-old and married, and he broke up with his girlfriend to be with the woman he had an affair with.
Her son and his girlfriend began their relationship when they were high school freshmen, and they’ve been dating ever since.
“They were high school sweethearts and were planning a future together. However, four months ago, everything changed,” she said.
This affair started when this woman, who was 13 years older, was 10 years into her marriage.
When her son began cheating on his now ex-girlfriend with this older woman, he was only 22.
“The married woman divorced her husband to be with my son, and he broke up with his long-term girlfriend and blocked her,” she explained.
Both she and her husband, 50, were stunned and devastated by their son’s behavior.
Over the years, they’ve adored their son’s girlfriend and felt awful for the pain she was going through.

Because their son and his girlfriend had been together for so long, his girlfriend had essentially become part of their family.
While she and her husband don’t hold the belief that once a person cheats, they can’t change and become a better person, they feel let down by their son’s decisions.
“When we expressed our concerns about his relationship with the older woman, he told us to mind our business and stay out of his love life. He’s also pushing for us to meet his new girlfriend, the woman he cheated on his ex with, and have dinner together,” she shared.
Understandably, this situation has allowed for a lot of tension to arise in their family. Her husband is conflicted about whether or not he’s willing to go to dinner to meet their son’s new girlfriend.
On the one hand, she and her husband have unconditional love for their son, but they don’t agree with his behavior and how he began this new relationship in the first place.
In their son’s view, if their love and care for him were genuine, they would be supportive of this new relationship.
Then, their son told them that they needed to leave his former relationship with his ex-girlfriend in the past, reminding them that it was his former relationship, not theirs.
But she and her husband wish that the relationship with their son could go back to the way it used to be, and they want everyone in their family to emotionally heal.
