This is a bit of a sensitive subject that tackles about a story of a girl who is, at the moment, depressed.
Her mother is very vocal about her wish for her daughter to marry a rich man; unfortunately, her daughter's current boyfriend is not that at all rich. Although her mom is being civil with the guy, it's obvious that she wanted the other guy who came from a well-to-do family.
When the daughter refused to accept the business being offered to her by her mom, the treatment of her mom suddenly changed. Her mom became easily annoyed and always ranting about unnecessary things.
Her daughter left their home. She was miserable. And as her friend, I already ran out of reasons to make her feel that it's only temporary. I'm concerned of the fact that she might commit doing stuffs that she might regret later on.
I'm sorry, but i just need to share this.
Thank you for understanding.

I feel you dear. On the mother's point of view, She just wants that her daughter would have a good life. I mean financially secured, Would not worry about the future. But I understand that the girl has already someone whom she loves. So now she left home. All you need to do is convince her that her mother just wants her to have a comfortable life. Time will pass whatever happens to her, her mom would be always there for her no matter what. You are going to be her shoulder right now since she's your friend. Her mother would accept it sooner or later. Just guide her. Make her feel that she's not alone.

I wish her mom can witness how much the guy loves her daughter very much.
The other guy is also a friend of ours. He was quite okay, but there was a time when he called my friend dumb through text. My friend got really furious.
As for me, I would rather be with a guy who loves and respects me rather than any rich guy out there.

@EMbakes yes. wholeheartedly speaking, we would want to be with a guy who knows us, loves us and respects us but practically speaking, and if we use our mind we would go for someone who is stable. Well that's a different story. How I wish there's still a man whose rich and lovable. nah just kidding. Wishing your friend to be peaceful soon.

@rairaianne14 In this modern age, money will always be an issue. I just wish she ends up with someone rich and kind hearted all at the same time like what you said.

I guess the mother just wants her daughter to experience the best things in life however for me, if I am the mom, as long as the guy my daughter is dating is responsible and has the drive to get out of poverty, I would be okay with it. As for your friend though, I hope she feels better soon. I know it is very difficult for her. Maybe she needs to have a heart to heart talk with her mom or maybe write her a letter to explain her side. I know it is cliche but I guess she has nothing to lose if she tried.

@EMbakes is the guy she is dating now, although not well off, has a job and can provide for her? I guess as a mom, I would have apprehensions in case the guy does not have a stable job but if he has then her mom is indeed close-minded. In that case, maybe the guy can prove that he can provide for her, show the mom that he is responsible or something like that.

@lealuvy2j The guy has a job, but it's so hard to please her mom.

She did, but her mom always has reasons for her request to prevail. I don't even know how any mother could do that to her daughter. Marriage is a serious thing. She should be the one convincing her daughter to marry someone who can respect her rather than someone rich.

i understand the mom's purpose but acting that way, she is unfair, selfish mom (sorry to say this) just my opinion, mom and I had issues, too regarding this matters, but moms are naturally like that.. they don't like their children's choice. then they put the blame on you on anything that would go wrong along the way, still, you got no choice but still love her because she's your mom.. but of course, loving her or showing respect doesn't mean following her decisions for her child. we as children have full right to decide on our own..

She's one whole selfish mom indeed. I hope she'll realise that her daughter loves her very much and her daughter has her own life.
