My youngest son, who broke up with his girlfriend, Katie, because he is taking a job in Chicago, and gave me the big talk about how he didn't love her and he didn't want a long distance relationship, and it was better if they end it, etc. etc, called yesterday...
Hi Mom, I'm coming to see you.
When?
In...about five minutes. (Since he lives in Arkansas that was a shocker.)
Ok, I'm here!
I have you on speaker, so say hi to Katie.
When they got here, I started talking to him about his moving plans, and he said, "Oh yeah, Katie's moving up there with me."
Of course, I can't ask a lot of questions with Katie sitting there, but I did get that she only has one semester of school left, and she's already applied at the University up there to transfer and finish out there. And they've rented an apartment...and her parents are happy for them.
I sure hope he knows what he's doing.
The other news is my mom called back to talk to me about going to see my dad, and I told her I hadn't been this week because I have this cold. She said well you know you really need to go see him. I said well, he and my stepmom go places all the time. He could come here to see me, and as far as that goes, you could come to see me too. I haven't seen you since Thanksgiving 2009. Long silence. Maybe she won't be on me to go see my dad now.

Well that is very interesting about your son. Did he actually break up with her because he knew he'd be leaving, and figured she wouldn't want to go with him b/c of school, and so made up all that other mumbo jumbo about she just being somebody he has sex with?
He said he didn't want a long distance relationship and that after they broke up he really missed her. Other than that, I don't know any more than you do. After 25 or so, I just get the basic facts, not the specifics. :)
Hmm, well maybe it will work out. Hopefully she's not expecting anything! I remember when I moved to Chicago with David after dating only about 6 months, everybody there thought he had promised to marry me. I was like, "Heck no, I've only known him for 6 months! I wanted out of California and this seemed as good a place as any!"
