Handling a delicate end to a one-time date relationship can be managed through direct messaging. Avoiding unpleasant discussions, especially in emotionally charged situations, is sometimes wise. For parents, allowing adult children to maintain privacy is important. Adult children, like a 21-year-old son, should have space to navigate their personal lives, while parents can express concern but should respect boundaries. Trusting the child's responsibility is essential for a healthy familial relationship.
You were correct to avoid an unpleasant conversation, particularly because you sensed (rightly) that he wouldn't take your message well.
At 21, he deserves to have a private life, and you should be able to step back and allow him that.
Your son is no longer a child. He appears to be handling his job and studies responsibly.
Your husband is steering you in the right direction.
