Hi guys, I have a question.

How many times did you have the 'talk' and how do you deal with it, especially when it keeps coming back? I am not talking about the birds and bees, I am talking about the 'when will you settle down?', the 'man up', the 'single mom has a great personality and experience' talk.

I had mine two weeks ago with my loving mother. My mom visited my house for some coffee and one topic to another lead to relationships and such. She went on that I was missing out and that having a woman in my life would make my life so much more enjoyable. Out of courtesy I let her finish her rant, and then I simply pointed my hands around me and said "All you see around you, I worked hard for. Everything here is mine. I am not accountable to anyone, I can go where I want, and do what I want. Why would I want to change that?"

She responded that I would be lonely. I simply responded that I will be my choice then, and my choice alone.
