My boyfriend of 8 months gives me headaches. I knew we were different people when we met but thought hey? We love each other but he's got low self esteem. I think its because of his lack of education (he failed his matric 8 years ago but he's been working for almost 5 years now). I am a masters student at a university. I have had several relationships with guys of my literate level, which failed. I either found guys who are not available or just selfish guys who used me.
Ever since I met this guy, everything changed although I had fears about OUR future financial security. I felt love for the first time in ages. We planned to get married but I fell pregnant b4 it could happen.
We were both excited as we've been planning a family together. But the problem is that he likes drinking out with friends and stays up late, and sometimes he returns home the next day. I forbade his behaviour but he never listens. We fight over it& it hurts me. What should I do? Will this relationship work?

Yes it can work, I have been with my wife 31 years 27 as a married couple and she is highly educated I have some college but no degree, she had always made 3 times the money that I have up until 10 years ago when we decided she should stop working.
But for this to work your boyfriend needs to GROW-UP and figure out what is most important in his life, you and your child or booze and his friends. give him an ultimatum one or the other and then stick buy it, if he picks booze you need to dump him and get on with your life AND NEVER LOOK BACK.

YOu two just need to talk about it. My bf and I are in love and are planning on getting married next year. I have my associates degree (so far) and still going to school. He barely got his high school diploma. We are both fine with this. He has a great job, not it's not an office job, but it's a job paying more than any office job that I know of. And I am working and still going to school. I think that the two of you should be ale to overcome this, if you discuss it in detail.

i do no longer think of that's significant besides the indisputable fact that it would make each and every thing much less annoying. i think of you're able to end college in the previous you get married because of the fact getting married can placed stress on your practise whether you're the two contained in the comparable point. while you're in college and in distinctive years then that's going to be no longer undemanding being married. One will graduate and the different one will nonetheless be procuring training. this could harm your marriage financially. yet once you think of you are able to paintings out the economic situations then it rather does not count.

I don't think so because if he's still out drinking with friends, which could lead to him meeting other women, he is NOT ready to raise a family. As for the education differences, you might always feel superior to him and frankly men can't handle that! GOOD LUCK!

Having different education levels should not hurt your relationship but the other things he does will.not coming home at night is a real sign of not caring. and will lead to other women .He is not wanting a family and does not really care about you. if he did he would be there with you especially at night.
