Warning: Don't let your aunt corner you at the next cookout asking about your love life
My aunt Linda pulled me aside at my cousin's graduation party last month in Omaha. She spent 20 minutes telling me how I'm getting too old to be single and that her friend's son is a divorced accountant who's 'really sweet.' She said it right as my ex walked by with his new girlfriend, and everyone at the picnic table went dead silent. Has anyone else had a relative completely miss the memo on boundaries like that?

Wait is it really that big of a deal though? Aunt Linda probably meant well even if it was awkward timing. @piperwhite I feel like grandmas get a pass for being old school but aunts should know better. Look at it this way, she gave you a free excuse to dip out early from the cookout after that whole mess. Plus you got a story out of it that'll be funny in like a year. People act like family meddling is the end of the world but it's just annoying conversation you can shrug off. Unless she's literally setting you up with a convicted felon, just laugh it off and move on.
