Respect

Once again, I find myself doubting my son-in-law's intentions in life. My inner mama bear wants to rip him completely apart. I have never appreciated it when anyone slighted my daughter. I certainly don't appreciate it when it's her husband, even though I know they're both grown ups.

I still have access to his email. He has recently started talking to an old "friend" from high school, a female friend. Turns out, he bought this friend and himself matching bracelets, with a note that says "You'll always be my best friend. I'll pick mine up in person <3". What the fuck?

I could almost excuse that. He was drinking when he ordered it. These things usually tend to take place at night. Nothing good happens after 11, especially when alone with Jack.

I had not told my daughter yet. I didn't want to spoil my upper hand yet. Then I snooped again. This time I found 2 emails he sent to her, both links to ultrasound training schools. On one the emails, after the link, he wrote I love you. That was too much to see. So I told my daughter.

She hasn't reacted yet. Not wholly. I'm sure she will. At this time, he was in the next room and she was playing with their baby.

These past two weeks have been weird. He has spent time snapchatting this girl, right next to my daughter. He has texted her occasionally. He even has had a few long phone calls with her. Whenever my daughter brings these things up, he brushes it off. He has in the past used the double standard card. He can do whatever he wants but she's not allowed to talk to any old male friends, even those long time friend zone friends.

I hate that this seems to be the path he is going down. They are young, but I want them to be good. She has become such an amazing wife and mom. She deserves respect and love. It's time for the fuck boy she married to become a real man.
