Why do people send letters to Cary that contain so many details that they'll be instantly recognized by anyone who knows them--say, the "lazy, abusive shit" of an ex? I've often thought that these situations can't possibly end well.
As for the letter itself, I don't get it. She doesn't want to date. BFD. I don't want to date very often myself, and so I don't. Other times I do. Sometimes I eat cookie dough out of the tube. I don't feel any need to ask Cary to validate these decisions. So her mother's bugging her--that's why most of us eventually stop listening to our mothers on such matters.
