Starc just doesn ' t know how to leave . <| sep |> Look up Captain Awkward for some scripts with dealing with family , because that ' s what you need here . You ' re going to train your family , there will be push back , but eventually it will sink in that either they go along with this or their relationship with you is severely limited . Each time it comes up , you change the subject using your script I don ' t want to marry a doctor , I love BF he makes me happy , how is the garden going . You give them three tries , and then you remove yourself I don ' t want to talk about this , I ' m going to see what dad ' s doing . You go to another room , you hang up the phone , you leave the house . There may be tantrums , but you just have to put it back on them . Give them a time when you ' ll seetalk to them again Mum , we ' re not talking about this , I ' ll call you next week . And reward them for good behaviour .
