Dear helen123:

Did I understand correctly: as a young woman of 24 and younger, you worked and financially helped the parents of your boyfriend? And your boyfriend? …Did you financially help your parents as well, and do you now?

Do you mean then, that in addition to you financially helping his parents, they also wanted you/ your parents to pay for a big wedding? Were they basing their demand in their perception that your parents were wealthy?
