Son's whirlwind womanizing has father worried
Dear Amy: My 25-year-old, self-sufficient son has met and decided to marry a 21-year-old young lady from the Philippines who is in this country on a work visa.
She must return to her country in October. He has only known this person for less than three months.
As with many modern young people, he met her via a website, and he has fallen for her hook, line and sinker.
I fear that he is rushing into this decision to expedite her ability to return to the States and become a U.S. citizen, and to save the relationship.
In my opinion, distance does not make the heart grow fonder. Distance creates relationship difficulty.
I worry that the young woman is just using him to get out of an impoverished life in her country.
I understand these motivations. They might actually be in love, but they are rushing into this.
Women are his Achilles' heel. He feels incomplete without the affirmation/affection of a woman.
As his father, what should I do?
Should I be supportive? Or should I distance myself from the situation?
