Argh. I rang my mother intending to tell her about the engagement, but I planned to build up to it slowly, so it would be less of a shock. So we chatted about Eastercon and my dad's new job, and I told her about my work and how I'd got new glasses, which I thought would please her as she's always going on at me to get my eyes checked...and eventually I mentioned G and she just burst into tears and refused to say anything else! I couldn't really tell her I was engaged to him after that, so the conversation ended there. Now what am I supposed to do?
