Is it normal that my mom wants me to date other guys!
My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years, he's joining the coast guard and is meeting up with me to get an apartment near my future college and his base. We've lived together for the past 2 1/2 years and we're so in love, planning on getting engaged and working hard to build our life together (he's 20, I'm 19). I can't imagine myself with anyone else and neither can he, we're best friends and more than compatible lovers. The thing is my mother is dead set against our getting an apartment together and getting engaged (even though she's fine with us living together in her house for this whole time?) and she won't stop nagging me to date other guys (sometimes in front of him!) I was just wondering if what she's doing is normal, any advice any of you can give or if anyone thinks she's right, tell me why you think it's a good idea. I just hate being pressured to date other people when I'm so utterly happy with my relationship.
