When I was dating my husband second time, he said ''My mum keeps asking me to meet someone and I said 'I dont want it.' She didnt know my husband was seeing me and he was 36 at that time. Is it reasonable a mum wants to arrange his adult son to meet a girl?

WhereYouLeftIt

Yes, I agree. I thought it was less of arranging for the DH to meet a woman and more for him to leave home. After all, he was 36, wasn't he? Bit on the older side to still be living with parents.

Oh by the way - dp is Caribbean and he and his siblings have all made their own arrangements. So it's not an exclusively Caucasian thing Wink

I see. Thank you all for your advice.

He left home since he was 18 so he was not living with his parents.

it is normal. If I knew a woman that seemed right for my 36 year old ds, I would not tell him, but I would definitely make sure they both were invited to my house for dinner or something so they could meet. Frequently. Grin
I did want him to meet a woman who works in a local pharmacy a couple of years ago, and kept sending him there to pick up things for me there, but alas, I found out she has a dp.
