Five years ago, we met in a bustling city, and love gradually took root in our hearts like a spring breeze. Hand in hand through the daily trivialities, our relationship deepens. But when the door of marriage was about to open, a tortuous bride price dispute left me in endless hesitation and choice.
When I first met my girlfriend, she was so gentle and lovely that I admired her. Five years of staying together allowed us to enter the palace of marriage, but the happy time did not last as expected.
When we were about to enter the palace of marriage, my girlfriend's family suddenly made a request that caught me off guard - a bride price of 500,000 yuan. In the process, our mutual trust and tacit understanding seemed to collapse in an instant.
Why so much money?"I couldn't help but ask, my eyes full of confusion and disappointment.
But the girlfriend's mother replied as a matter of course"This is a consistent custom in our family, and it is also a guarantee for our daughter. "
I tried to persuade them, but they firmly rejected my opinion. In this conflict, I felt the estrangement between each other, as if the sweetness of the past was just a dream.
For the sake of our love, I fought hard for the opportunity to solve it. In front of my girlfriend, I always remained calm and sane, trying to find a compromise through communication. But my girlfriend also seemed to be swayed by family pressures, and she seemed hesitant in front of me, and sometimes even didn't say a word.
In a short period of time, our wedding plans became chaotic. What I had hoped for was a feast of happiness turned into a serious discussion, and I felt more helplessness and helplessness. I gave too much for the sake of this relationship, but the reality in front of me made me start to re-examine the reality of this relationship.
After a lot of twists and turns, I had a defining moment – letting go. I don't want to be burdened with a heavy financial burden at the beginning of my marriage, and I don't want to be tied up in material strife. So, I chose to withdraw from the marriage and let go of the feelings that I had guarded with my heart for five years.
When I said goodbye to my girlfriend, tears rolled in my eyes. This five-year relationship, like a beautiful dream, was brutally awakened at the last moment. I felt the pain in my heart, but I also knew that it was my choice to protect myself.
The decision to let go of a five-year relationship was not all smooth sailing. The moment I left my girlfriend, I felt empty in my heart, as if I had lost the fulcrum of my life. But as time went on, I began to understand the far-reaching implications of this decision.
Life doesn't stand still because a relationship ends. I re-examine my life and think about the direction of the future. While leaving my girlfriend, I also got a new job opportunity and needed to travel to another country. This decision made me feel a new sense of relief, as if I was giving myself a chance to start over.
The new city, the new job, and the unfamiliar environment made me gradually forget the heartache of the past. In my busy work, I learned more, made new friends, and expanded my social circle. Life gradually became fuller, and I began to feel a sense of ease and freedom that I had not felt in a long time.
Life doesn't always go your way, and there are ups and downs in relationships. The premarital strife has become a growth lesson in my life, and it has made me cherish my worth and dignity even more. At the end of this relationship, I know that although the love I once had passed away, I will find my own happiness in the new journey.
