The matchmaker

By Anonymous - 29/09/2022 07:30

Today, my mom has been aggressively trying to get me to marry one of her coworkers, who is around my age. Apparently she loves her like the daughter she always wanted, and since it would be silly to adopt her; she is determined she will be her daughter-in-law instead, whether I like it or not. FML

Some people say they are happier in an arranged marriage because it was a good match and the feelings grew. Not saying this situation would show that, but idk I've been picking my own "love" interests for 25 years now with neverending heartache, so it almost seems like a practical match might have almost been the better way to go. Just playing devil's advocate =)

Sounds good. You don't seem to have anything going, so letting your mom pick your bride seems like a good way to go.
