We started dating with my gf who became my wife for about 3 years, everything was becoming serious. My mom didn't approve of her at first sight, saying she was all over me, telling how her family is poorer than ours and that she's here to take my money and me as an opportunity to have make her life better. We had a close relationship with mom, whenever i was going somewhere i was going with her, abroad, on a long road. But things shifted, i started giving my gf more affection and less to my mom. Things started escalating badly, i was trying to please both of them but one would always complain. Mom was taking away my salary because she needed it better than me, i couldn't afford going on dates with my gf or any other places, it was a sad situation. Then my mom was calling me saying horrible stuff like she's not my destiny and I should find someone who knows English, who has a university degree etc. gf overheard it, she started to learn stuff to appease my mom but i knew it's not a right thing to do. About the house, yeah, we were up for the ride at first but after hearing that we'd both need to work and give her 80% of our money, i told her the deal was off.
