It was fun arguing with the others on the board. Apologies for hijacking the thread when it was obvious you weren't looking to start a debate.
I think Into its right has the right idea.
There's very little chance that he'll change. While he may understand other point of perspective, it's not really going to affect his final decision on the matter. The best way is to target his core beliefs that support this...
a) His belief that the boy is emotionally mature enough. That the women is sane. Find evidence to contradict either statement.
b) Find a 'normal' adult-child relationship that reflects how individuals might feel after breaking up. Whether they feel exploited etc
It's difficult because... You're essentially asking him to view from the perspective that all adult/children relationships will be exploitive. What are his core beliefs that support the whole thing? Is it a let and let live mentality?
lol. Perhaps this could end up in gun violence somewhere down the line.
