My mom has recently voiced to me that my boyfriend (age 24- who has not completed high school, but was raised in Europe and didn’t finish due to immigrating to USA w/ his family) is not a good match for me (age 25) because I have a masters degree. I’m wondering if people have found (from experience) that this educational gap matters? I find him to be very intelligent and intellectual. We both speak the same 3 languages and he teaches me new things just by the way that he thinks and I find our conversations to be stimulating.

He’s had different life experiences than me and I have never been concerned with the fact he did not go to college… I don’t think that formal education really teaches someone how to communicate and/or be a good partner. But maybe I’m wrong in that it matters more. We are considering getting married and my mom saying this to me concerns me.

Wondering what others think?
