Asking Eric: How can I make my daughter see what her boyfriend is doing?
"My daughter is divorced with a teenage son, and I'm very concerned about her. She has had no luck dating because, I feel, she is attracted to the wrong kind of man (players). She finally met a man of suitable age who, at first, seemed to be a good match. He treats her nicely, says the things she longs to hear, compliments her, tells her he misses her, all the right stuff."
"There's always an excuse like he's too tired, he has a migraine, or he's busy with his adult kids, and she buys into it. He'll stop by her job to say hello during the week, or they'll meet for coffee before work, or they'll meet on a Monday or Tuesday for their typical date which is to meet for an early dinner or drink after work"
A father reports a strong relationship with both adult children and worries about his divorced daughter's dating life. He believes she attracts 'players' and recently met a seemingly suitable man. The man flatters her and says affectionate things, yet in over three months they have never spent a weekend together. He frequently offers weekday or early-week meetings and gives excuses like fatigue, migraines, or obligations to adult children. The daughter accepts these patterns and refuses other weekend plans waiting for his last-minute call. The father wants her to be in a respectful, loving relationship before he dies.
