Earning 30 million VND/month, girlfriend's mother still criticizes, not giving up a wedding

I am 23 years old, my boyfriend is 27. He is a gentle, kind, kind person and has a strong will to get ahead.

After a period of trying, he is now the manager of a small group in a famous technology company in Hanoi. Monthly income is about 30 million VND.

This can be considered a not-so-bad income. For me, that's enough. But not for my mother.

My mother said: "With such a salary, when will I have a house? If you get married and suffer, who can bear it? Now stop blindly loving, girls who are crazy will suffer all their lives".

My mother also set a condition: "Before I turn 30, I must have a house named after me, at least a small apartment, before thinking about getting married".

My mother is a person who has been through it all, raised me alone, and worked hard all my life, so I hope I will have a 'stable' groom. That means having a house, a high income and not having to work hard in the future.

However, looking at reality, in the present time, a house in the city is too luxurious for us.

A mid-range apartment in Hanoi, 2 bedrooms, is now also priced at about 4 - 6 billion VND/unit. Not to mention the cost of living in the capital is also extremely expensive with all kinds of costs such as: rent, electricity, water, food, travel, healthcare, etc.

With his salary of 30 million VND, savings are like salt giving up.

I felt extremely heavy. On one hand, my mother loves me wholeheartedly, but it is too realistic and imposing. On one side is the person I love, trying every day but being judged just by the income.

I am in the middle, struggling between love and the word " beginning", between the harsh reality and the dream of a simple but loving home.
