ON MY WEDDING DAY, MY MOTHER-IN-LAW CAUGHT ME OFF GUARD BY DEMANDING MY $8,500 MONTHLY SALARY ALONG WITH ALL MY BONUSES. SHE BLUNTLY SAID THAT IF I DIDN'T COMPLY, I SHOULD LEAVE IMMEDIATELY. STUNNED, I ASSUMED SHE WAS JOKING, BUT TO MY SURPRISE, MY HUSBAND BACKED HER UP. WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT, I TURNED AROUND AND LEFT THE VENUE. LATER, SHE CALLED ME IN A STATE OF PANIC.My in-laws were drunk at the wedding, oblivious to the whispers around them.They turned to me, their voices loud and slurred. "Well, it's too late now that you're married, but if you really want to be part of this family, you need to prove you have enough money, they said.That's right," his mother added. "So, from now on, consider giving us $1,000 a month—a little bonus for joining the family.I stared at them in shock, my face draining of color. I couldn't believe they had the audacity to make such demands—at my own wedding reception, no less.Before I could even respond, my father grabbed the microphone from them. "Enough is enough! Do you realize how embarrassing you're being?" he said firmly.My name is Linda, a 30-year-old office worker. I'm currently engaged to Larry, who is 32. We met through a mutual friend who was worried about my single status and decided to introduce us.At first, I felt nothing romantic toward Larry, despite his persistent efforts to win me over. But his kindness, patience, and sincerity slowly broke down my walls. Over time, I found myself drawn to him, and eventually, I realized—I wanted to be with him forever.After a year of dating, he proposed, and I said yes.
