Should I invest my time in him? ?

[Anonymous]

I dated this guy, but we had certain misunderstandings and ended things.. We've patched up after 5 months, but now he's saying that his family wants him to marry in a year and they are looking suitors for him.. I asked him to wait for me for a few years as I am six years younger to him, he's 28, I'm 22.. I'm still a student.. So I wanted him to wait for me for 2-3 years, but he said that his family wants him to settle down within a year, but he also said that I have no idea what all I mean to him.. He said that he doesn't know how long it will last, but he loves to have such kind of a feeling. He wants to meet me and continue our affair, despite not knowing how long it will last.. What should I do, should I invest my time in him?

Invest in the affair? To b his girlfriend while he's married?
Apologies if that wasn't what you meant, but if you did I don't even know why you're asking.

No, not while he's married.. Until he's married.. I am just thinking that what if he gets ready to wait for me for 2-3 years, what if he convinces his family?

While he's engaged? That's sure brazen from him to say.
If he wanted to convince he would've done this ages ago, he isn't a teenage that has no financial independence from his parents to not decide for himself

If you see a future with him, yes,

Why not? What do you have to lose?

What if he gets married? I'll eventually get hurt in the end

Good point, don’t do anything that can hurt you emotionally.
