[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents have been happily married for 50 + years. I totally get where you are coming from OP. The hard part for me is that they are joined at the hip. I have no memories of doing anything with just my dad or just my mom. It was always the two of them. [b]Plus if you confided in one, they always told the other. So I learned that I could not have an independent relationship with them. [/b]When people talk about being friends with their mom, I assume they are able to do things with just her. I can't and never have. If I call, they always run and get the other parent as well. I don't really talk to them alone on the phone either.

At this point, I don't expect it will change, unless one dies and the other lives long enough to develop a new way of relating to me. Of course, I am pretty sure they will die one after the other. I cannot imagine them living without the other.

My friends think it's great that they are so in love, and it is. But there is a cost. [/quote]

This is my parents.  I do wish that I could have an independent relationship with them.  My mother in particular gets very upset (jealous?) if I ever tell my dad anything or if it seems as if we have any kind of conversation that doesn't include her.[/quote]
