Leaving education for Marriage

Ive been debating this topic for a while, my family want me to leave education because clearly i aint preforming in my subjects. they think the best resort for it is to send me to my home land and get married to become a house wife. although this is tempting i would much rather marry someone whose not from my home land and is rich. Opinions?
p.s. if your 6FT and have a couple £100,000 in your bank hit me up

I would never give up my education for marriage but tbf its sound your culture is slightly different and in the western world in in the 21st century you can have both. My fiance would never ask me to give up my education and if we had decided to marry in uni it would have made little difference to us finishing our degrees. Good luck finding your tall, rich guy.
I think only you know if this is what you want to do. If you would rather stay here maybe try harder at education

In my culture we marry our cousins, yet this is not a problem for me the language would be, as they have a strong pakistani accent. how did you find your partner if you dont mind me asking.

We met at uni, lived in the same hall in first year. I don't recall spending a single night in my own room since we got together. Again it seems to be a culture barrier, I know it happens but i don't think i could find a British person who would willingly marry their cousin.

What would happen if you got divorced? You'd have nothing.

Get an education first and then get married. You need to focus on yourself first.

I'm in a steady relationship right now but I want to get into uni and finish it before I even think about proposing.

Jesus no. Start working. Men value education. He will use it as an excuse to divorce you in a few years.

I gave up a lot for my first husband. Put my career on hold and helped him to move up the ladder. He left me for a wh**e who dangled her younger body in front of him. I wish I had worked harder at school and made my own way. Don't do something you will regret later

I'm doing a HND in television. In my second year now.


I do see a future, but I need to get my mental illnesses under control because I tend to accidentally snap at him a lot.

Thank you.


I'm sure you'll be able to work it through. I know school is tough but it's good to have education and a job to give you something to do for a while.
