Oh - and his mom.....WHOLE other issue - she is sort of obsessive over her son because she was a single parent and she never even dated or anything. Even now with him as an adult, she is in a nursing home, she worries and wants to know everything ie if he is sick. she is one of the BIG reasons he has/had the thoughts about marriage that he did because she put those in his mind because she had a bad marriage.
she says she wants him to find someone, but she doesn't really. she wants him all for herself.
our priest made a few interesting comments on the situation - 1 was asking if he couldn't marry because he'd have to put his wife #1 instead of his mother and 2 he told my bf that not making a decision was making a decision......
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
