My gf called off our wedding
My gf (38f) and I (40m) have been in a relationship for more than 2 years. I’ve courted her for almost 3 years. Matagal nya ako sinagot kase hindi daw talaga ako ang ideal guy nya na matangkad, gwapo, maputi, came from a well off family at Chinese. Nagbago lang ang perspective nya nun tumatanda na sya kaya nya daw ako sinagot and chose me for being someone who would take care of her, a responsible guy with a stable job. She came from a well off Chinese family. May Chinese blood din ako pero hindi na pure. Our relationship is not perfect. Madalas away-bati and medyo demanding sya sa time pero lahat yun naaayos din namin. She’s a little bit controlling and gusto nasusunod ang mga gusto nya. We are both Christians but she admits na it would be hard for her to submit fully to her husband. Ok lang sakin basta hindi mawawala ang respect sa isa’t isa. Now the issue is me being a breadwinner. I’m earning 6 digits with up to 19 months bonus plus an average of 20k monthly performance incentive. She wants na lahat ng salary ko, ibigay sa kanya pag kasal na kami. She’s also employed with a decent income and mas malaki savings nya sakin since sa kanya lang naman ang salary nya. I’ve followed their Chinese tradition na lalaki ang mag shoulder ng wedding and even had our Tinghun. Spent almost 600k now for the wedding preparations and Tinghun gifts, etc. We agreed to acquire a condo and issue din pala sa kanya na wala pa ako sariling bahay sa edad ko na ito. She’s asking me kung ano plano ko when we get married and told her na hindi ko kaya i-cut bigla yun support na binibigay ko sa family ko which is around 30k per month (food, medicine, electricity). Mag isa na lang mama ko and wala sya work and may kapatid ako na special child and may pinapa aral din ako na pamangkin kahit noon hindi pa kami. Hindi nya maintindihan ito and dapat daw hindi na ganun kalaki ang ibigay ko. Now, she’s calling off the wedding. I love her but I think this will be always an issue for her na hindi talaga kami mayaman like her family. I’ve been open to her eversince and naiisip ko nga sana hindi nya na lang ako sinagot to save us the time and resources, to save us from this hurt :( I’m just beginning to build my finances and issue din talaga sa kanya na sa edad ko na ito, wala pa ako malaking ipon. Well, since the courtship, dating and maging kami, ako lahat gumagastos sa mga labas namin. Should I just move on or worth it pa din ba ilaban yun pagmamahal ko sa kanya?
