Should I give up my true love and choose to lead an easy life?

Three years ago, I met the boy who I have been loving so much. We are like born for each other, compatible in every way. But now we are still separated in two places and are struggling for life. My mother are unhappy about my choice and she wants me to marry a guy with wealth. What should I do to convince her that love is more important than money(isn't it?). Or should I give up my true love and choose to lead an easy life? Give me some advice, and tell me what to do?

Which ever choice you make you will pay the price. Make sure you do what will make you happy, you are not your Mother. All Mothers want the very best for their children and many think that mean material goods. You will have to choose

Its you who could always decide for yourself. Its your life anyway and its you who will take the consequence of your actions. So feel free to do what you want. Choose what your hearts desires. Think about it many times. if you choose the man you love over the man your moms wants you to marry will you be happy? Can you see the future bright with him? how about the other? With regards to your mom she meant no harm. she just think that it is the best for you. She just want a secure future for you. I think what ever your decisions will be your mother will understand.

Yeah, you are right. I love my mom and I don't want to disappoint her. But I have to make choices for my own future.

Well, I dont think marrying someone for money will give you an easy life to be honest. You will mourn the other guy for a long time, and come to resent the other man for your decision. I think your heart would be the thing to follow in this situation, because either way your life will not be easy and at least this way you get to share an uneasy life with the man you love! and nothing is better than that, in my opinion! =)

Your analysis really makes sense and it is exacting what I am thinking now. To spend my lifetime with the man I love weighs much more important than to spend my money with the man I don't love. I have to make the right choice for myself instead of doing the wrong thing just to please my mother.

What is your main question? Are you not sure if love is biger than money. If that is the case then you would be better off marrying a guy of your mothers choice.

I do think love is bigger than money. I am just wondering wheter love will shrink with the progress of time, while the money problem lingers as an unbearble pain. Thx any way.
