I suddenly realize why most young people nowadays are reluctant to get married.

Take my engagement this time as an example, I didn't withdraw the bride price money, I wanted to transfer it directly to the card.
Transferred it on the same day, just to have a better payment proof, but the card was limited that day.
So I didn't succeed, and my dad just gave my partner the bride price card he had prepared.
But her mom found out and didn't want to accept it, insisting that they were tricked into giving her an empty card. (This part was really exhausting.)
Then yesterday she called again saying that our relatives that day were not warm or welcoming to them,
not proactively greeting them, ignoring them.
This engagement was organized by me, usually it's the bride's side that handles it.
And my aunt and others went too.
They were invited, considered guests.
They also brought grandchildren and such.
When we entered, we just said a quick hello.
And during the meal, her mom said that our family didn't serve her dishes,
her mom sat with her aunt, while my dad and others sat opposite, and the dining table can turn.
Before eating, everyone said not to be polite, that we’re all family now.
No need to be so formal.
There are so many other trivial things, and honestly, this time was very unpleasant.
At that moment, I suddenly don’t want to get married anymore.
I originally thought marriage was just about two people, but now it seems it involves three families.
If that’s the case, I think I might as well not get married.
Why go through so much trouble?
Yesterday her parents called and yelled at me.
They even said they want my dad to call and ask about our family’s attitude.
Sigh.
When can marriage be simpler, without so many nonsense?
That way, the marriage rate would definitely go up.
