What about if situation turn around, and the guy is no longer interested in the marriage due to certain circumstances or the other. My advice for the girl is to take the bull by the horn, have a mutual discussion with the guy, summon courage and go for her Masters that’s well funded. She may never get the opportunity again in her lifetime especially if she is married and start having children. But if she so love the guy and doesn’t want to jeopardize his relationship she should tell the guy to engage her in court at least to secure their relationship while she go.

What do you think? Lend your voice.
