Hi anu I am 23 years old and recently found out relation of my mother with my friend...my mom was going to the gym where my friend also got registered..it was a month later I got to know they are in same gym..now they go to gym together. Their text msgs are flirtatious and sensual....what to do. My father is old boring person who only likes to watch news and drink tea..what should I do
Ans: Dear Neeraj,
Your mother is a grown woman and is free to make her choices. A bit of attention at her age is what she might be looking for but your friend might be in it for more.
But I can see how this affects you obviously.
Maybe you can talk some sense into your friend. He needs to know his boundaries and that you are not comfortable with it at all. Spend time with your mother telling her how much you appreciate her and love her. Maybe she needs a bit of ME TIME where she finds her social circle and hobbies/work (she might want to revive her career).
As for your father, maybe he can figure out a way to make tea for himself and your mom, so that they share a cuppa and laugh a lot together. At their age, marriage can be boring and the only way to revive is to work on it by infusing some fun and travel together. As their child, you can help bring them together.
So, start with a Chai party at home:) Get the drift?
All the best!
