Who could say she wasn’t excellent? Beautiful, well-educated, and with an enviable job. But at twenty-nine, her marriage problem was still unresolved. It should be noted that she had always been the one choosing others, with her proud mother often advising her.
The first suitor was a soldier. Her mother said, “How can you endure the pain of long-distance separation?” The second was a colleague, but he came from a rural background, had no money, and couldn’t afford a house for marriage.
Her mother said, “Marrying someone like that means a lifetime of poverty.”
So, she gave up.
What upset her was that these two men, who could have been her boyfriends, were now doing quite well. The soldier had transitioned to a financial system job, and the colleague had passed his exams to become a graduate student, with a bright future ahead.
Sometimes she hated herself and blamed her mother. If she had insisted on her own choices, she might have been very happy.
At a class reunion when she was 30, she met an alumnus who was already the owner of a small company. Back in college, he had pursued her, but for some reason, he was still single.
That day, they talked a lot. When she returned home, she realized she hadn’t been this happy in a long time, and she remembered some past events.
They started dating and quickly became serious.
He liked her very much and respected her mother. However, her mother was not satisfied with him, saying he was frivolous. Her mother strongly opposed their relationship.
This time, she didn’t listen to her mother. They had a huge fight, she moved out, and soon married him.
Her choice was correct. He was honest, and his company quickly developed, with total assets reaching millions.
Seeing her daughter happy, her mother forgave her, and they reconciled.
Once, she asked her mother why she thought he was frivolous.
Her mother said, “The first time we went shopping together, he put his arm around your shoulder in front of me.”
She came home and mentioned this to her husband. He thought for a moment and said, “I remember now. That time, I patted your shoulder, telling you not to walk so fast. Your mother couldn’t keep up with you.”
After hearing this, she was stunned. She felt fortunate for her choice. Indeed! She couldn’t always follow her mother’s footsteps.
