All my life, I’ve never imagined being with someone that’s not educated, but recently I met a guy. He’s good-looking, has a business of his own, and he’s hardworking too, which I like. When we met, I liked what I was seeing, and he could speak well—that was what prompted me to give him my contact the first day he approached me. We were communicating via calls, and I would see him around sometimes, so we barely chatted. Sometimes, when I texted him, he replied with voice notes. I didn’t know he was using a translator app to read my chats so he could reply. One fateful day, while we were discussing our childhoods, he opened up to me that he stopped his education in junior secondary school because his uncle, who promised to help him, didn’t fulfill his promise anymore. Instead, he used him as help in his business, which he learned well and is now using to fend for himself. I couldn’t believe my ears because I was already falling in love, so I offered to teach him.
He got a book, and we started, but it was difficult because we were always going to work. There wasn’t enough time to put in the work, so we stopped halfway. If there’s anything he wants to read or needs help with, I always help him. But guys, I’m worried. Imagine my parents, my siblings, and my friends finding out that the man I’m dating isn’t educated! We’re both on different intellectual levels. I can be saying something, and he won’t even understand or get my point. It’s so draining. I don’t know what to do. He said he has always wanted a woman that’s educated, especially for his unborn children.
