PO3 Phyllis Maynard 5366288 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After many years of hardships, my son and I are a close knit family. Once he could not wait to get out of my presence and declared he would never marry a woman like me. Time has zoomed by and he is still telling me when my health is better he will do some things. I am fine; I have Auron. He has his own life, a college degree, his own money, a steady job, good coworkers, the few friends he chooses are nice people, so RP parents, what is his dilemma?<br /> When you realize your kids are in their 30s and do not want to get married because you are so dear to them, what do you do? 2019-12-21T11:21:20-05:00 PO3 Phyllis Maynard 5366288 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>After many years of hardships, my son and I are a close knit family.

A mother hen that when he was growing up smothered him. His need to find a woman that won&#39;t smother him.

Now that he&#39;s an adult you have to move that relationship away from mother/son and towards something more like friend/mentor. In order to do that you have to have your own life, lifestyle, activities that you share just between you and your significant other. Basically, you have to freeze him out a bit. And of course, his own place.<br /><br />If you&#39;ve done all that, it&#39;s not you, it&#39;s him. He doesn&#39;t want to get married and you&#39;re a convenient excuse why. Maybe he&#39;s gay, maybe he&#39;s asexual, Mayne he&#39;s scared to death of losing half his wealth in a divorce.

He needs to start his own life and give you some grandchildren as well. Him staying at home is only allowing him to dither his life away. This will not serve either of you well.

I&#39;m 32 and not married. I do not plan to get married. I do not want to get married. I do not see a point in marriage.
