[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leave and cleave op. Who cares what they think you have your own life now.[/quote]

I care about what my parents think. That's why this bothers me. Of course it would be easier if I didn't care. [/quote]

You really have to stop caring about their opinions. A mature, healthy parent of an adult child respects them enough to choose their own spouse free of approval. This type also is wise enough to understand that traits which annoy some people are perfectly fine for others. Adults have different needs and priorities. They celebrate their adult kids independence and encourage it.

Immature, pushy parents of adult children don’t understand that their adult child is not a copy or extension of them. They don’t realize that consistent judging and criticizing out loud is inappropriate. They haven’t accepted that they are not in control and dislike their adult child’s independence.

OP you have a set of the latter and need to shut out their rudeness and opinions. [/quote]
