She is 16, he is 20, and they have been together about 4 months. He is her first serious boyfriend.
She has a part time job on a market stall on, he works on one nearby full time. She spends an awful lot of time at his house (he lives with his mum and his mate rents a room there), I've jsut dropped her off now. She will not ask him to come here, as 'it's better there'. So either she walks the 2 miles or so to his, or I drive her and then she pays for a taxi home at 11. In the 4 months they have been 'out' three times as 'he never has any money as he has a lot of loans'. I feel that he is really taking advantage of her. It's costing her about £15 per week just to sit in his house!
And the other thing is his X is about to have his baby, she ditched him when she was about 3 months pregnant. He intends to be involved with the baby,and I do feel really sorry for dd being in that situation, it would be hard enough to deal with as an adult never mind at 16!!
And inbetween splitting up with the pregnant X and starting going with dd he slept with dd's best friend!!
aaarrrggghhhhh
I know that I can't overly critisize him, but I wish dd would bring him here then I can at least get to know him a bit better. We have met him twice both occasions very briefly, and I'm sure if the situation was different I could actually like him - well maybe!!
