After 14 months of dating online, fell in love n we decided to get married. I'm travelling to meet him for the first time in Amman, this May. He introduced me to his family via Zoom. I was quite happy. We planned to get married in Jordan, then move back to my country, Singapore after 2 - 3 years. Sadly, he dropped me a bomb 1 month ago. Told me he is heavily in debt. Losing money in forex trading. Asked me for money to help him out. I'm confused now. At my age 53. I need stability. He is also 53. Never been married. His family confirmed that. He told me his finances hasn't been good for some years. He wanted me to know before we get married. He also told me he can't afford to support me in materials or monetary except for food 😒 He lives in his family home with his 4 sisters and a brother. All not married too.
I feel sorry for him but I dont feel secure looking into the future with him but at the same time I love him. I cant tell my family about this. I feel ashame. Anyone has comforting words for me here...
