Hi there so I have been dating this international student at university for 2 years while I was also at university.

Last night she told me she thinks she won’t get a working visa and asked if I want to marry her. Today she asked weather I can take her to the shops to look at rings because she wants to marry me. I told her I don’t want to get married to her.

A little bit of background information, her family stopped paying her rent money and she had to move in with me and my family. She has no more money and lives with me in my family house and we take care of everything for her including rent. In hindsight as I’m typing this, I realised that maybe she doesn’t want to pay money for a flat and saves the family money, but I doubt it as she said there is a coup in her country (Burma) and they have no money left for her. But I ask what type of family leaves their daughter in a foreign country without any money? Especially as her father and mother are very well off, and gave her a minimum of £100,000 for 4 years to complete her degree and master in international relations.

So because I said I don’t want to marry her, she said she will move out and find somebody else who will. This is rather shocking as we have been dating for two years. Anyway I don’t really care.

I was just wondering weather I should really marry her, I just finished my degree and have been applying for jobs. I’m just looking for a bit of advise from older people.

She said that in one year she can see herself married to me with a daughter. This kinda scares me as I still want to do a masters, work and maybe get married at around 36 not 22.
