"Should I marry her?"
It was the initial time and the First time that I was going to meet my girlfriend's parents, and I was treated like a free Auto Teller Machine !
Yesterday I went to my girlfriend's house to meet her parents.
Following my girlfriend instructions, I bought the following luxuries:
A gift set of imported liquor ($4000+),
A Japanese Sekkisei set ($2000+),
A gift set from Shin Tung Yang ($1000+).
Afraid of being impolite, I prepared plenty of things.
After arriving at my girlfriend's house and chatting for a bit, it was lunchtime.
Her parents suggested me going to a Chinese restaurant.
There were six of us: me, my girlfriend, her younger brother, her younger sister, and her parents.
But when we got to the restaurant and started the food or dish order,
they completely ignored me.
They ordered every thing themselves.
The six of us ordered eleven dishes plus a soup.
Not a single person asked me what I wanted to eat or if I had any dietary restrictions.
I sat there like a complete outsider, and I was even unable to say any word.
Halfway through the meal, my girlfriend suddenly kicked my thigh under the table, her eyes blazing with ulterior motives as I went to the counter to pay.
I pretended not to notice her and continued chatting with her dad.
She then grabbed my phone, pretending to say, "Someone is calling you!"
I inwardly scoffed, grabbed my phone, stuffed it in my pocket, and continued to feign ignorance.
Finally, we finished eating and were leaving.
As we passed the counter,
my girlfriend suddenly shouted, "Hey! You have not even paid yet!"
Her dad immediately disappeared:
"You take care of this, I am going to the restroom!"
Turning back to my girlfriend, my girlfriend innocently said, "I did not even bring any money..."
I was utterly speechless and could only silently pay the bill.
After paying the bill, I told my girlfriend directly:
"Take your parents' car home. I have something to do and will not be coming to your house."
My girlfriend had even scolded me with a dark face:
"You promised to spend the whole day with me! Why are you so angry?"
I am thirty four years old, with an annual income of about 1.2 million.
I bought an apartment two years ago, the mortgage is nine million.
I still have not bought all the furniture and appliances for the house.
I am working like crazy every day to save money for our wedding, and my girlfriend knows all of this!
She works in accounting and warehousing, earning a little over thirty thousand dollars a month.
My girlfriend completely does not understand my financial pressure.
The first time we met my girlfriend parents, my girlfriend treated me like a free Auto Teller Machine.
My girlfriend whole family acted like it was all her business!
I instantly felt like I was not good enough for their family.
All of The idea and hope of marriage immediately vanished!
Who understands this helplessness?
Is this marriage even worth discussing?
Am I being petty?
