I Need Someone to Agree With Me!

Me and my man have talked and agreed that we are definitely in this for the long haul. We're getting engaged soon and our relationship is really strong and happy. We're getting our money straight so we can move in together too. BUT... my freaking mother is insane! She married my dad when they had only been together for 3 months.

And not like they had been friends for years and realized they were in love. They met and dated for 3 months and then eloped! Now since my man and I have been together for 10 months she ambushes me at random with "Why hasn't he married you yet?" and telling me to keep my options open.

The two people ACTUALLY IN THE RELATIONSHIP are happy with the pace we're moving at! Not only is it frustrating to hear this all the time but it breaks my heart because I feel like she's criticising him, my choices and the fact that we don't make tons of money.

I've told him how much it frustrates me and it makes me not even want to tell her that we've decided to get married. I don't even want to tell her when it's official at this point. But it's hard to make him understand what it's like to be a girl sometimes. I feel like we get pressured in really strange ways sometimes that boys don't get. Plus I know he understands as much as he can. He's so good. But it's like my mom doesn't want me to be happy sometimes. It's really hard. This has been a rant.
