Boyfriend and I have been talking about our future and marriage. Very very frequently. Mom called yesterday and was like "So, do you really want to get married?" And I said "yeah." And her response? "Well, you've been really working hard at your weight loss, and I think that fitting into a wedding dress could be good motivation for you."

Um, hahaha, thanks Mom? Anyway, not what I wanted to talk about.

She called again last night and said "I have information." And of course, the proper response would be "What is it?" And her only words were "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you."

After we got off the phone, I called Boyfriend. He was all, "Yeah, I talked to your mom last night. She's so cool." And I asked, "What'd she do? How did y'all's conversation go?" And he wouldn't tell me anything either.

And this morning, Mom called again. "So you really want to get married?" And I paused, wondering if she was kidding considering we just talked about this the day before, and I said yes. "So you think (Boyfriend) is the one?" And I said "Definitely. Without a doubt." And she said 'Yeah, he said you are the love of his life. I told him that you had a crush on him since Day 1. You didn't tell me. But I knew. Moms know."

Ummmm, I'm confused and excited. Oh dearie. What's up with all this?

Sounds like something's brewing.

^that , but that would irrate me. Either keep it a secret or come right out and tell me what is going on. My parents knew about a week before my guy proposed and they didn't say a thing. Looking back, I was like "what??????" but now i'm glad it was a total surprise for me and that they respected his wishes to not tell me.

I knew that my boyfriend was going to propose well before he did, as we had talked about getting married extensively before and I knew when he talked to my parents about it. The actual date and time was a surprise, but not the event. Those kind of mind games would annoy me.

Sounds like mom is doing some recon for boyfriend. Also sounds like mom needs to work on her recon skillz.

 

[Valerita]

Yeah, my mom has subtlety issues. Actual proposal isn't a surprise. But the time and place will be. I'm glad he's keeping her in the loop though.

 

[GrumpGrump]

That sounds pretty ideal, actually. It would be nice for the time and place to be a surprise, but if the actual proposal is the first time marriage has been seriously considered, it seems like that's kind of a big question to expect someone to reasonably answer spur of the moment. Hope everything is dreamy for you .

I don't know your age but,your mom should not be that involved in your relationship if you're past 18. I mean,I would have a fit if my mom called my boyfriend and discussed anything like this!! I would really tell her to stop. I guess some girls are different,hope it all works out.

 

[Valerita]

1) She's involved in my relationship as a mother should be. Being 18 or not doesn't matter.
2) She didn't call him. He called her.
3) She knows when to stop. My family is involved in my courtship.
