Imagine losing your mom and then being asked to leave the home you've been living in just so your mom's widower can date in peace. That's the situation Beth, a 19-year-old college student, finds herself in. Her mom's widower, who we'll call 'MovingOn', has decided that he's ready to move on with his life and start dating again. But there's one problem: Beth's presence in the house is making things 'super awkward' for him. So, he's given her an ultimatum - find a new place to live by the end of the semester or else. 🙄 Let's dive into the story and see what led to this decision.

MovingOn's Decision Stands 🚪
Despite the backlash, MovingOn remains firm in his decision to ask Beth to leave. He insists he's not just trying to 'get laid' but wants to move on and have a normal adult relationship. While some may argue that kicking out a grieving 19-year-old is heartless, others believe he has the right to move on with his life. So, what do you think? Is MovingOn justified in his decision, or is he being insensitive to Beth's situation? Let's see what the internet thinks of this situation... 🍿
