I'm getting engaged to my girlfriend. I'm very tired, but I'm a little unhappy because of the bride price problem.
I can feel your anger. Your mother-in-law does have some influence. Since you are marrying your daughter, of course, you should consider the happiness of the two people in the future. How can she always raise money? But then again, in this era, most women's families are very vain. If you have a house, you must have a car, and if you have a car, you must win money. Is it because of the man's money? I am a sharp-tongued person. I'm sorry if I'm wrong. I am really angry about this phenomenon. Although I am a woman, I always feel that everything should be weighed properly before making a decision. Whose marriage is unhappy? A good thing is frozen because of a bride price problem, which is not interesting at all! I think you'd better talk it over with your girlfriend. If your girlfriend agrees with her family, it's probably really to save face. Maybe girls nowadays feel that marriage should be ostentation and extravagance, style and so on. You can tell your girlfriend that since you have been together for so long, you can tell her that there is no shortage of bride price, car and house, because you love her and yours is hers. If she hears this, most girls will be moved. If you tell her the truth, I think she will also consider living together after marriage. It is true that two people live well, and all the ostentation and extravagance are superficial. Maybe you should talk to her and coax her. The most important thing is that you should let her know your position and gently let her know that you are a pragmatic person and don't like those gaudy extravagance and waste. I think if she understands, maybe she will make more plans for your future family. Maybe she will stand in your position and reason with her family! The key lies with your girlfriend. After all, getting married is you and her. Just coax her, the family's ideas can be taken care of, but they can't be pushed around. After all, you have your own ideas and positions.
