In a letter to Eric, a concerned parent expresses support for their daughter’s choice not to marry and seeks ways to handle intrusive family comments. The daughter, in a long-term relationship with children, faces unwanted inquiries about marriage. Eric advises using witty comebacks to lighten the mood while suggesting direct responses to firmly set boundaries, emphasizing that family should respect their choices and not impose values. This approach not only supports the daughter but maintains a positive family dynamic.
They don't have time to get married because they're too busy answering nosy questions.
Weddings are expensive; wouldn't the money be better spent raising their wonderful kids?
This is their decision and it's not open to discussion or comment.
Our family is complete the way it is. How's yours?
