Wierd competitive aunty rant

I was talking to my mom today. And she talked about how she planned to cut off one of her friends.

She asked what me and my sister were doing, careerwise. Which is an uncomfortable question for them (rightfully so) because Ive switched to a completely different path and Im still struggling to make a living and my sister, has only recently started preparing for her masters (she is in a field where its frowned upon to not do masters right after). Its not worthy of gloating about, sure. But I know our lives are not over because of this.

This woman literally replied with, "Haan toh phir dono ki shaadi hi karlo na, time waste toh nhi ho jayega". My mom shut her up by saying that we hate men and that marriage has never served women.

Context: This woman's husband left her and their son for a 20 something year old. She never divorced her husband was ok with him coming to visit her and her son once in a while (till her husband ended up passing 10 years ago). And he left NOTHING to her.

How can such a woman suggest marriage to anyone?They have been friends since college. This woman has watched me grow since we were born. How can she ever say that?

Her son moved to the US and is currently working there. He has a girlfriend there too.

The only reason I can give for her marriage comment about us is because she has been showering said girlfriend with a lot of love and praise since Trump has tightened immigration laws. She hated her before that. Which in my head makes complete sense. She wants her son to marry that woman. Fair enough, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Maybe she has been thinking/ talking about marriage so much recently that she just said it for us as well idfk.

But yeah she has a history of pointing out that me and my sister were too social and smart (according to kid standards), she would say it in a condescending way, like it made no sense that my introverted parents could have such children. What a weird thing to say to YOUR FRIEND.
