The one thing I feared would happen post Sister #2’s wedding was that the pressure to deliver on a steady relationship and marriage would get ratcheted up a few notches, and boy did it happen! the very next morning, Mum tried to visit with the kid brother and I, ostensibly to catch up with us, with the subtle undertone of trying to find out what our demob plans were.
We managed to escape on that morning, but we could only do so for so long. I eventually got a right good earful, with a few recommendations tossed in my direction for follow up - not bad in and of themselves except for the small matter of the fact that these were people from church I didn’t know, and hadn’t seen for close on ten years.
At the end of May, I had ended up torching all the potentials for various reasons with only Mlle.P and Mlle.S being the remaining viable options. The situation remains the same - I’ve had a few more conversations with both of them; MlleP takes busyness to a whole ’nother level - otherwise it’s all going steady at mine. No real commitments to/from anyone yet, even tohugh I would dearly love to have a sense of one one way or the other.
