Mom: so, you doing any online dating lately?
Me: nope. I have no desire to say. I just want to do my own thing.
Mom: oh, we'll, talked to your aunt today and she suggested this xyz website.
Me: Ooookay, mom.
Mom: I'm just afraid you're getting "too used" to being alone.
Me: NA, I just want to do my own thing.
Mom: you're getting older and I worry for you.
I have only been single for 2months. IAM doing online dating, but I don't tell her bc she immediately wants to know if/when I'm getting married for goodness sake! And, all she wants is grand kids...get over it. Give me some space! Just bc my brother disowned the family, doesn't mean I get all the questions and third degree.
It's as simple as, I don't think I want to date right now. I have no desire to. Why can't she understand that? She has been married to my dad for. The past 38 years, so she doesn't know what it's like! I feel myself distancing myself from her bc she's too much! I know she means well, but come on! I HAVE said stuff to her before. She knows she is crossing the line.
