I have to support them so sometimes I don’t think marriage is the best for life but it happens. I can’t go back so I should move on so I have a lot of pressure.
at my age we are the only child of my parents and they are old and I have my family and mothers and fathers from each side.
in our parent’s mindset they think marriage is the most important thing in our life. One time my father told me when you married after you have a son I can close my eyes. So both my parents had cancer.
She never questions me but she is too easygoing. She always forgets her things / she often loses things because she doesn’t pay attention.
we always say dating is very difficult but I think marriage is much more difficult than dating.
they said you are born in Shanghai you are lucky because you have a house from the beginning and then I will refute because if you don’t like the city you can go home. if you cannot make more money you can go back to your own city but if I don’t like this city I have to stay here because my life is here.
some of my friends they don’t study well and have a low salary they cannot go back their life is here. They even cannot get married.
I felt the same way before but I think it is segments. it is step by step, if you want to improve the city first you should make sure others understand what the priority of the money or how important money is.
we have no better way. Everything has the good sides and bad sides.
