Its the most meaningful relationship I've ever had. People are not all the same. Some mature faster than others. Yes this persons daughter should not have left town and all that. I never did any of that. I never control my girlfriends mind. We have arguments about stuff all the time. She is her own person. She has goals in her life... something most 24 year old women do not have. I could really fall for this girl... so.. call me creeper all you want. Call me a pedophille. But I will do what few will do. I will fight for Love! Because thats what its turning into .. Love.. and thats all relationships need... is love!
Find someone your own age who is mature. A 16 year old girl doesn't have half the emotional maturity of a 24 year old. You are ****ing up this girl's life.

I myself am 16 at the moment and i think theres nothing wrong with a 16 year old and a 24 yar old talking over the internet and exchanging photos etc.
However, i agree that the daughter running away and sneaking off to meet him is wrong. I think the man shouldve came up to see her and she wouldve been supervised by her parents.
Taking away her computer was a smart idea, and the photos given back was a good thing- she might have realised when looking at those photos that he is too old for her and could have done something bad.

Being the OP started this thread in May of 2008, I don't think this is an issue anymore being her daughter is well over 18 now.

That's because you're 16 and haven't seen what most of us who have been 24 have.

okay that would be the last of her online days indeed and I would rip that computer out of her room and if my husband wanted to argue about it . He would be liking the couch alot . I dont negotiate with husbands or kids . My house , my rules . She is 16 and she needs to learn to put some respect in that mouth . And God help that husband that wanted me to return that , oh no not on this earth or in the heavens above . He would learn to respect what I say as a parent . I think you let your husband disrespect you in front of the girl and now the girl thinks she can do the same thing . I would make it very clear to her that she does not ever disrespect you . Then the husband and I would be having a talk about being on the same ground . This child knows how to play her father , because he has let her . Put your foot down now with the both of them or you will only get more issues with the both of them .

BBM - This thread is 2 1/2 years old! This girl is closer to 19 now and either still in this relationship or has moved on. The OP hasn't even posted in over 2 1/2 yrs. This thread probably needs to be locked.

I only read the first page of this thread and already a few answers got under my skin. Please don't listen to those irrational responses. That relationship is TOTALLY unacceptable. Those people who feel that there is nothing wrong then your a fool.

By the way, what the hell is a 24 yr old doing talking to a 16 yr old...get a life and talk to people your own age...dirtbag!

OP-you MUST take away the computer/cellphone/phone/etc and then punish her, i.e. she cannot go out...only to school. Take a stand! Tell your husband to grow some balls. That is not the typical concerned father response.

My goodness that was 2 yrs ago. I got my blood pressure up for no reason. I pray that everything ended well. By the way, lets delete this thread...possibly save someone from a heart attack!
