I have a boyfriend and I love him lots and I also plan to marry him. But after losing my virginity with him I came to know he is not well educated – while I’m doing a degree. I really don’t know what to do. He also is in contact with his ex-girlfriend. – Jeny, Canada

Jeny, I’m not going to give you a clear yes or no.  The situation is still very confused, and I can’t get an unambiguous answer.

However the very fact that you’ve asked the question suggests to me that all is not well, and you shouldn’t regard yourself as being committed to a particular course of action.

I suspect that you’re having to deal with a lot of peer group pressure, and that, rather than your partner’s education, might be the real issue.  Your partner is perhaps different from your usual friends, and you might feel (or other people might be trying to make you feel) that he’s out of place.

So I would suggest that you ignore your friends, and concentrate on what feels right.

It seems that you had a plan, and for a time everything was fine, but the ground beneath your feet is now changing.  And to think of marriage, at least at this stage, is probably unwise.

I would suggest that you bide your time until after Christmas, and that you keep your options open.  Then, if you feel the need, ask me the same question again.  But maybe by then the answers will be clear?
