I agree about the respect issue. I have a son and taught middle school kids for 9 years. I was also raised by a Quaker and a military officer. I may not have liked what was going on, but showing it in front of adults was out of the question. It's not against the law to hold this generation to those standards, ya know.


At the same time, the girl is a teenager. It was the 4th. She would have fared better hanging out with her friends, and warming up to the new boyfriend on her own terms.


I advise that you talk to your significant other about YOUR values, and how you thought the incident was out of order. If she agrees, great. If not, then move on...you two won't ever see eye to eye.
