Do you mind and care about the status of your life partner ? Will you feel embarrass if your life partner is uneducated and his status is far from you ? I am having this problem with my boyfriend recently . My parents doesn't get along with our relationship . Objection is all over me and him . What should we do ? Is that wrong for me going to university to further my studies and he doesn't ? Please give advise .

hey coffebing, The truth is that as long as the both of you re happy its ok .But the reality is way different.Status is not as big as being uneducated.Status issues can be looked over but education is one thing that is a must.....People tend to look down upon ppl who dont have partners who are either not well dressed or you know who really dont have the same thinking etc. I feel to an extent wht your parents are thinking is true cause they want the best for you .You should go ahead and complete your education and also see to it that your partner also educates himself as tis could be very unhealthy for your relationship.

Thanks for the response . You got some point there . But, the truth is my boyfriend doesn't have any interest in studies and now it seems to be like i am forcing him to study . I mean cant he just study something other then studying in university ? He can just go and work to learn and gain experience . Can things go that way ?

It is always a problem for a woman to achieve more than the husband. Not all men will not feel inferior, jealous, inadequate, threatened and ever furious. However, if your man does not fall in this general category, you should have no worry, despite your parents' stance. A few men will not bother about all the mundane achievements of their women, but will be proud of them instead. If your hubby is such a person, relax and worry not about it. Some husbands believes so much in their own worth and modest achievements that they will always see themselves better than any other person. I wish your husband is one of them. In essense, everything depends on how your hasband feels about it. Moreover, does he still love you? Do you still love him? Will you still respect and love him? If yes, you have no problem to worry about. If he is ok by your new qualification and achievements, you only need to plead with your parents to see reason.
