As a full-time employee of a state-owned construction enterprise, I used to live a full and stable life, like a small boat leisurely on a calm lake. The work is sometimes overwhelming, but the stability is satisfying. However, life took a turn of events, and when my boyfriend and I reached the stage of talking about marriage, my life began to change.
He was a labor dispatch employee, and we met because of work, attracted to each other, and then started our relationship. We get along well, he is very nice to me, we plan for the future and hope to create a good life together. However, when we told my mom about our relationship, she was vehemently opposed to our marriage. She felt that my boyfriend's identity was not stable enough to guarantee our future, and she insisted that the man have to pay more than the normal bride price.
I was confused and couldn't understand why my mom was so insistent. I understood that she wanted me to have a stable future, but I didn't think she understood the relationship between me and my boyfriend. We are not together because of money or status, we love each other and are willing to face the challenges of the future together. Moreover, the extra 200,000 bride price is undoubtedly a huge amount of money for us.
The boyfriend's family is not rich, and this money is a big burden for him. I tried to communicate with my mom and explain our ideas and plans, but she always didn't listen. She insisted that her ideas were correct and would not make any compromises. I was disappointed and frustrated, and didn't know how to get her to understand our thoughts and feelings.
During this time, I felt exhausted and stressed. I don't want to give up our relationship because of the bride price, but I don't know how to solve it. I felt confused and helpless and didn't know what to do. However, I know that this problem will not be easy, but I still believe that if we truly love each other and actively look for solutions, we can overcome them. I wanted to find a balance that would meet my family's expectations while keeping our relationship intact.
It's not easy, but I'm willing to work for it. I firmly believe that as long as we communicate openly, understand each other, find common solutions, and maintain a positive attitude and actions, we will eventually be able to overcome difficulties and achieve happiness.
