Hello everybody. It is about two years that I have had a relationship with my girlfriend. She is very kind and considerable. We had decided to get married with each other. Both of us are 29. However, last year I left my homeland for continuing higher education (PhD) and she stayed at our homeland. At the present I do not have any job and my family support me. I live in a small room and share an apartment with others. I do not know when I can earn some money. Because getting PhD is very difficult and time consuming.Most of RA and Grant positions belong to locals. I am so worry about my financial problems after marriage. When I imagine how can I take her in this country I become upset. Because killing my expense become more difficult. Also she does not know English language and she will depend on me in this country. Another issue is that I just started PhD and it will last at least three years later.Moreover, job condition in my home country is bad also. I have a immigration plan in my mind. On the other hand we are not young and we are getting older. Really I do not know what should I do?! Should I marry with her and live far from each other (So in this way why we should marry when we cannot see each other for several years?!). Should I break up with her and break her heart also? (In this way maybe she can find better option than me). I confused and I do no know what should I do. My story is very complected because If I drop out or finish my education and coming back to my country government will send me to compulsory service for two years. :( All the time I am thinking and I cannot concentrate on my education. What are your suggestions?

For you I can only tell, where there is a will there is a way. You can surely take part time job and for her she can easily learn English from you. If you love her sincerely you can never give up her. I will suggest you marry her bring her close and wait sometime before you start a family. Time changes everything but a true love. So financial needs are never a matter.
