We don't know how long they've been together.

I would not want my first meeting with someone's mother to be on their deathbed. And as a grown woman, I wouldn't want my son's new piece of ass at my deathbed, either.

I definitely was a weirdo who didn't understand this. Girl I dated for two weeks shared she wasn't available because of a funeral and my stupid horny ass said, "I can go with you. It'll be like a date."

And she had every right to give me a wtf face.

And that's when I learned time and place.

Eh, some people don't like hospitals, or OP's mom.

Disagree I’ve heard many stories about people with OP’s mom.

Yeah, barring some kind of established issue with hospitals.

Can't really hold it against someone when they have avoidance of a place that's damn near universally traumatic, even with the best possible outcomes.

I worked in the damn things here and there over the years, and I despise being at one as a visitor, even when it isn't to visit a patient. I'll do it when necessary, but I know how that little kernel of dread feels, so I can't blame anyone that can't/won't visit in a hospital.
