So I stumbled across this subreddit and knew I had to join. I am a 25 year old female who has been with her boyfriend for 2 years.

Our first date was amazing and he is lovely, sweet and kind. He basically fits a lot of the characteristics of a HVM. The only issue is when we met I was a student and he was working in a low paying job that he hates. Now I have graduated and I have a really good job. He is struggling and does not have a similar educational background to me. He now has started college since we started dating and in his first year. He has another 3+ years to go before he finishes and can even start thinking about a higher paying job.

Prior to him I was dating really successful guys in college and to be honest they did not seem to want to be in a committed relationship with me.

I love my boyfriend but really I am a believer in hypergamy and marrying someone who is stable. He is talking about us getting married and I feel that maybe I should break up with him. He says he is on track to be successful once he finishes college. Do I choose love or hypergamy?

TLDR: I love my boyfriend but feel I will be the more successful one in the relationship. This goes against what I want for myself, should I break up with him?
