I think she's just being a mother/woman/girl. She just wants the best for you just like you want the best for your friends. I'm sure she didn't mean to say that to make you feel guilty. Although, even if you could have done something before, you didn't because you already made up your mind awhile ago that you just simply aren't ready for any romantic relationship. For your confusion, relationships are pretty confusing. So, don't feel alone in that aspect. Even married couples have that confusing issue. I would have told your mother that you aren't typically ready for a relationship. Besides, who knows if your friends will stay together forever. Right now, I give props for accepting your friends happiness. There was a way you were happy for them once and it is possible to do it again. Just distract yourself with other things. There is nothing to be ashamed about. You're just doing the right thing for yourself and your friend. Good luck!
