I can't disagree with anything Teppy has said.
Agreeing to talk to someone your parents think may be compatible is one thing. Rushing getting married when you are not ready is not reasonable.
Being married is tough, and hopefully a whole rest of your life commitment. It isn't something you want to do to make someone else happy. It is something you want to do to make yourself and your spouse happy.

Yeah, but you don't want to marry me. Well, Trudy might, for the lulz.
I wouldn't marry anyone for the lulz even if he left me the best voice mail in history.
You're not going to kill your Mom. She didn't die when you switched majors or stopped working for your Uncle or any of the other things you did and she didn't want you to do. She's tougher than she lets on.
Have a good cry, nobody likes rejection regardless of why.
I get ragey and asscappy about this because my own mother has done things like this my entire life. Making every fucking thing about my life into HER issue. And when I didn't live up to the parameters that she imposed, she would lose her shit and make me feel horrible for "hurting" her.
Basically, Teppy and I are as one, here. Mom-centric mind-control is the worst. I tell my mother that the title of Joan of Arc was already quite capably filled in a fiery sort of fashion.
I just talked to my dad. My mom's getting discharged from the hospital.
I'm glad to hear it, Hil.
