From your narration, you are beginning to query reason for your union with the man who might have not seen anything wrong in having you as his wife. Though he has taken you to his mother whether for approval or otherwise, but you don’t have to measure his sincerity with this step of his.

Instead of getting worked up on an issue that you don’t have control over, you better get it right before you start to say that you’ve been used and dumped.

Let this man know your fears and anxieties, considering the number of years that you still have for your course. And don’t forget to add this figure to his age. There is the tendency for him to get impatient about the long waiting, this is natural.

As he has rightly said, if your coming together is the will of God, nothing will work against it. You need to be open-minded as you tackle the issue of age and not having time for you. These are issues better addressed by the two of you.

If you think that the age difference will aways be a matter of concern to you, then stop nursing the idea of saying ‘I do’ and let the man go in peace and make a fresh start with a lady who is likely to belong to his age group.
