Touched by the genuine kindness of the "uncle"
For Cam Tu (born in 1997, from Long An province), marrying a man 13 years older than her is so wonderful that if there is a next life, she "still hopes to marry him."
Her husband is Manh Canh (born in 1984, from Ba Ria - Vung Tau). They met through an arranged marriage but their relationship blossomed thanks to their perseverance and genuine affection for each other.
Cam Tu and her husband have an age difference of 13 years.
Before getting married, Cam Tu was a kindergarten teacher. In 2021, she was introduced to two men by the husband of a colleague; one was his boss, and the other was an employee.
"I befriended and messaged the employee, but she didn't reply. That's when I messaged her boss, and she responded immediately. That boss is now my husband," Tú recounted.
After chatting online for a while, the couple arranged to meet in person. Contrary to expectations, Cam Tu met Canh looking completely bald, wearing a T-shirt, shorts, and flip-flops.
Having made a bad first impression, Cam Tu cut off all contact with him.
At that time, Cam Tu was a popular TikToker. She admitted that during her youth, she had many suitors.
Initially, Mạnh Cảnh intended to give up, but after seeing Cẩm Tú receiving attention and affection from many young men who were the age of his nephews online, he decided to pursue her.
“That year, the Covid-19 pandemic was intense, so we didn't see each other much, mostly communicating through text messages online. It wasn't until I got Covid-19 and had to quarantine with my sister for a month that our relationship really took off,” Tú recounted.
The couple got married right during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
During that month, Mạnh Cảnh drove from Ho Chi Minh City to Long An many times to visit Cẩm Tú. Each time he came, he brought nutritious food for her.
One time, Mạnh Cảnh brought Cẩm Tú a large Styrofoam box containing 10 coconuts, which moved her beyond words.
"Even so, I still ignored him. It wasn't until my sister said, 'If you miss out on this man, you'll definitely regret it,' that I started to reconsider," Cam Tu shared.
After the quarantine ended, Cam Tu officially accepted Manh Canh's proposal to be his girlfriend. He took her home to meet his family, and he also proactively went to her house to greet her parents.
Cam Tu's father, who was usually strict about his children's romantic relationships, approved of Manh Canh as his son-in-law the first time he met him. This made their age-gap relationship much smoother.
“In May 2022, we had our engagement ceremony, in June our wedding ceremony at the groom's house, in September we held the wedding at the bride's house and announced our marriage in November. Our wedding was so joyful because we received blessings from both families,” Tú shared.
She is pampered by her husband like a precious gem.
Cẩm Tú and her husband currently live in Ho Chi Minh City. She stays at home to take care of their child and works as a content creator, while Mạnh Cảnh works in the information technology field.
Tu and his wife are very harmonious in their married life.
Sharing about her marriage, Tú humorously said: "When I'm happy, I call him husband; when I'm angry, I call him uncle. He says I'm childish, so ever since he married me, he's become childish too."
Apart from occasional disagreements about childcare, everything else in Cam Tu's marriage is smooth. Tu is loved and pampered by her husband. They have a principle that, no matter how stressful their work is, they never bring negative emotions home.
"Since we got married, my husband has been the one who cooks and cleans the house. Everything in the house, from the broom to the glasses and dishes, was bought by my husband. From the time I got married until my baby was 7 months old, I only learned how to press the button on the washing machine; before that, my husband did it all," Tú shared.
Before having children, Tú's husband would drive her to work every morning and pick her up in the afternoon. Now, every morning she wakes up to breakfast her husband has prepared on the table.
The couple's cozy little home.
At lunchtime, Mạnh Cảnh often takes advantage of his break to go home and look after the children so his wife can rest. In the afternoon, after work, he rushes home to help his wife cook, look after the children, and do housework.
"I'm lazy about taking medicine; sometimes I have to take 7 pills, but I secretly skip 3. So, every time I get sick, he usually sits and watches me take my medicine before going to do anything else."
"My husband doesn't say sweet words, but he always shows his care and love for his wife and children through practical actions," Cam Tu shared.
For the past two years, Cam Tu has lived surrounded by her husband's care and the respect of her in-laws. For her, that is the greatest blessing she has received since entering this marriage.
