Id tell your son to hold off, my daughter tried that , she was home in 3 months... Its a little different when you " live" with someone, I was soo mad at her because I , like you, thought she should stay at home...but my mother kept saying let her go, she'll be home.... I said no she wont.. low and behold she was after just three short months...they were high school sweethearts and were together for 5 years... I was surprised how quickly she came home... I think once you " move in together" you quickly get to know a different side of someone.. I hope for her sake it works out and that they get married!! Although its not what parents want I am very thankful she moved in with him and it only last 3 months as opposed to marraige where that would have been ONE quick wedding.
