eh, I don't know if it's that much of a thing. I've put off telling my mum countless things, because she's intrusive and thinks everything I tell her is, well, a letter to an advice column. It's emotional laziness and an unwillingness to have the conversation or hurt the person who really wants to Have The Conversation™, not something deeply wrong.
I have no way of knowing with LW, but lots of people who love and respect our parents still don't particularly want to deal with sharing details with them. If LW just didn't want to have the inevitable fight with their mother -- "But Amira was so ~great~! You'll never meet a girl who puts up with your hangnails like she did! And when are you going to give me grandbabies?" -- that would explain this as much as something deeply wrong would.
