Well, I am sure of one thing - his love for you isn't deep or
anything great afterall. Who, truly in love, measure them
by academic achievement? No matter how practical society
changes, there are certain things that remain the same - which is
when you truly love someone, you concentrate his/her flaws - you
improved them as you walk along the life of your relationship and
you focus on his/her strength. 
Look at Evelyn Tan and Darren Lim - one has average academic
qualification and the other's a graduate.
'So what?' you may ask - 'its their lives, not mine.'
However, it does shows that such relationship could work
don't they? If that's what both parties desire and puts in the
effort.
Cheers
