Life Partner... or Life Pleaser?!

The other day my Dadi (grandmother) asked me to get married soon so she can partake in my wedding (she feels that's she's getting too old). Being the annoyance that I am, I baited the old lady into WHY is it imperative that I get married.
"Because you need a life partner" was her clear concise answer.

Fair enough.

That is until I realized that she thinks my mom should bend to every single whim of my fathers. Before my Dadi moved in with us, it was the other way around. My father would hang on my mother's words, would do as she said, ate what she cooked, asked what she wanted to do. Now, due to elderly influences, it's my mother that asks how high when told to jump.

Does she want me to get married so I can please another person completely and have no say in my life? I hope not because I am not a flexible person. Literally.
