Today's "Ask Amy" shows that sometimes it never ends.

Todays "Ask Amy" shows that sometimes it never ends. A man in his 70's wrote in about how his girlfriend, who is the same age, recently broke up with him because her adult daughter threatened to withhold the grandchildren unless she did so. The daughter was upset that her mother was having sex with her boyfriend because it went against their religion. The woman did reconsider and ask the man if he would get back together.

His question to Amy was should he be concerned that she broke up with him in the first place. Amy's response was that he should probably try again with this woman, but that he should also rethink the relationship with this concern in mind. She said if the daughter threatens her Mom again, the woman would probably choose her daughter. Amy's advice seem right on point.

The DD was upset the mother was having sex., ummmm hello the mom isnt underage. Why would the mom even share that? Its not like pregnancy is the issue. At 70 the mom can decide whether it goes against her religion or not. Sounds like the DD doesnt want momsey with anyone.  Whatever,   in the scheme of things the GF and DD sound enmeshed. Sounds like in any relationship there will be three of them. 

If I were this guy Id find a kind lady without an over involved DD.

All of Chef's older brothers save one who is still married to his original wife are single.   They range from late 50s to early 80s and all put their adult children (who milk them for every dollar) first.

pursue and hook up with. No need to tolerate a failed family parent who lets their breeding failures dominate them in their retirement years. There is a reason why retirment communities have one of the highest incident rates of STDs.  

There is not a snowball's chance in hell I would tolerate this ball-less spawn dominated woman back in my life if I was this man.

Or less dramatically worded, what Stepdrama2020  said.

I would say that she's pretty lucky to have a man who's in it for the SEX!

As my Mom says, At that age men are only looking for one of two things, a Nurse or a Purse!
