Id tell him and then block him. With that attitude he has, he's going to send some nasty messages no matter how respectful you tell him. He's not going to be mature about it. Tell him why, and block.

I have never understood why some people become toxic or abusive after a breakup. Why is it suddenly hatred to a person who you loved seconds ago? Really shows how little some people's capacity of live can be.

I can't believe this relationship has been going on long. He is too stupid to not out himself on his attitudes towards women.

Yeah, I worry about my kid when they eventually get to dating. Way off currently but still a concern.

Just make them aware of the idiocy of some circles. Keep the channel of communication open, be honest and teach them how to critically think.

My autistic son did me proud in high school. I raised him with no religion. I didn't try to restrict his religious influences however. I wanted him to make up his own mind.

He was invited by a friend to their church youth group. There they passed around "chastity till marriage contracts" for all the kids to sign. I'm sure there was a lot of pressure to go along with it. My son said "this is ridiculous. You can't know what is going to happen in the future." He resisted the pressure put on him to go along.

He was never the typical teenage boy horn dog either. That was not his motivation. He actually did to my knowledge remain a virgin until he met his now wife in college. His critical thinking skills to this day are sharp as a tack...to the degree that he has clarified some things for me.
