Thanks gogofo! I agree I'm keeping MIL out of it - would be pursuing. Yes the talk of future relationship and kids is pursuing and probably put pressure on her but she brought up relationship so it was difficult to avoid ...but I could have avoided saying those things. I have not been bringing up our relationship. She just hasn't thought through kids schedule on birthdays, holidays, etc if we are D but you are right, she needs space and time to think about what she wants ...she will come to realize these things on her own I don't need to tell her.
