Need help to save my engagement :(

i agree with much of farrah's post, especially the bolded bit.

my father says the exact same thing, that it doesn't matter whether someone is educated or not, what matter is that they are hard-working, determined to make a success and don't waste a single day thinking and not doing.

i didn't consider that point before but now it's been highlighted, it's very important from your perspective to wait until he has achieved something. he either needs to start passing his exams or decide that education is not for him and do something else which he puts his all into, to provide for his wife and family.

also, does he not have a previous education? he's almost 30? what has he been doing all this time?
