Mother Questions Emotions

I have been in a relationship for less than a month. He’s been good; I can clearly see he’s trying. Putting a label seems to have changed things a slight bit, making things just clearer on what to do and what to feel.

Mother’s been asking more and more about him. Basically asks questions about him every time she calls up to check on me. But lately, the questions are getting deeper and deeper.

“Do you feel the same way as you did with your ex?”

“Do you like him more?”

“What do you like about him?”

“Did you get into it because you were lonely?”

Those were her exact words. Straight to the point; as per usual from my mother.

Also told me that I should invite him to my brother’s wedding this coming Autumn. Repeatedly told me to ask him to make sure that I would. But with that said, I’m not even sure I want to bring him. Actually, I’m quite certain I don’t want to. To have him eternally in family pictures. Quite dangerous I would say. She means well though. Aware that I have met his family repeatedly, especially the mother, she feels the need to meet him too. I’ve assured though that it isn’t the same ‘meaning’ as it is to us to ‘meet the parents’.

To answer her question, I assured her that it wasn’t a big thing; that I knew what I was doing; and that he was a good guy. All were true except for my confidence in saying that I knew what I was doing or how I was feeling.

It’s completely different from how it was before, but he’s a different person too. Less serious, more easy-going; over-all, the balance I need from my monotonous life of work and errands. But on the topic of feelings and emotions? I guess there still lies some uncertainty.

No rush, no pressure; in this aspect of my life, just going to go with the flow and let it be…

Side Note:

Apparently, relationships are only official if they're posted on Facebook. Welcome to the world of technology. Does not reflect too well on society though.
