I understand that my parents only want the best for me, but how can I convince them that not everyone who has a foreign spouse is happy?
My [Vietnamese] My boyfriend and I started dating five years ago after meeting in Taiwan. We recently returned to Vietnam and ran our own businesses.
Everyone in his family likes me, but my parents are not happy with him. They say he’s immature and they’re afraid I’ll have to take care of his four single aunts, in addition to his parents, if we get married.
Despite this, I think it won’t be so bad, because we live in modern times where the relationship between a woman and her in-laws has become easier.
Since many of my relatives have married foreign men, my mother suggests that I should also marry a foreigner if I want to have a happy life. On the one hand, I understand her point of view and I want her to not have to worry about my life.
On the other hand, I don’t want people to criticize my decision. I am afraid of making the wrong decision and also regretting my choice of husband in the future.
What should I do?
