Can we make this work?

Question - (16 September 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 16 September 2010)
A female Canada age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I started seeing this guy over the summer while we were both working away on a cruise ship. I'm 22 from Canada and graduating from University in May 2011. I have always been an adventurous person who wanted to travel after graduation for a bit and then focus on my career goals.

The guy I am seeing is 29, from Brazil worked the same position as me on the ship,didn't graduate university because he just didn't enjoy his program and went to work on a ship and has been there for the past 2 years.

We are trying out the long distance relationship to try and make it work. He is already planning on coming to see me in a few weeks. The problem is, is that he is so concerned that he isn't "good" enough for me. He doesn't have a permanent "career" yet and still has yet to figure out what he wants to do with his life. So he feels that he won't be able to offer anything to make me happy. In my mind, he is so passionate, caring, loving and really anything a girl could want from a guy in a relationship.

We want to be with each other so much, but in the back of my mind I sometimes am concerned about the age difference and the fact that he isn't settled yet. But I love the adventurous side of him, and I know that being with him is going to be one big adventure.

Any opinions about this situation would be greatly appreciated!

I suggest you continue the adventure without marriage and using birth control... When someone says that they are not good enough for you, they are insecure and insecurity can lead to many many problems later on...

Then, once you end your adventure with the Brazilian guy, find yourself someone who is stable, confident and a person that you can build a family together...
