This is what my mom told me and my brother when we talk about getting married. I was on my early twenties then. My mom has a separation anxiety. She couldn't handle being away from us even if it would just take a few weeks away from her. She wouldn't even let us work abroad just because of this. She told us that the only time she will allow us to get married is when she is dead. Yes I know! It was obvious that she is being selfish but what can I do? She is my mom and she's the best mom that one could ever have. My friends envy me cuz they saw our relationship. My mom is my bestfriend. Luckily now I was able able to convince her that I need to get married also. Did you ever experience anything like this? Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I understand that you and your brother are the only people who she must be close to her and the thought of loosing you to your husband might be bothering her. No, i have never experienced anything like this where you are tied between two people who you love dearly and you cant hurt both of them.

Yes you're right. Plus the fact that she has a separation anxiety. It breaks my heart seeing her crying whenever I have to go on a business trip. But through time I've learned to convince her that I cannot always be single. Just like her, I needed someone to share the rest of my life with. Someone I can grow old with. But mind you, it really did take years before I was able to convince her.

at the end of the day, if you are legally old enough to marry, and have someone you love and wish to marry, she can't stop you.
she is being selfish. if you want to marry, then do it. being your mother doesn't give her control over all of your lifes descisions.

Yeah I know! She knows that too. I mean she knows that she's being selfish but nevertheless, i do know that she is also sorry for being selfish cuz I'm turning 30 this year and I haven't had a serious relationship for two years already. My boyfriend for 6 years and I broke up some two years ago. And I can't seem to find a decent guy nowadays. I mean a guy who is not only a husband material but a GOD-fearing one.
