How tf does an 18 year old even end up getting in bed with a 37 year old

Like what possessed you

As far as advice goes, you shouldn't even be with this person in the first place, get out.

Not gonna lie, I'm a bit grossed out by the whole 36 year old man marrying a 21 year old he has known for a week. A wee bit yucky isn't it?

And all you have to say about her is her skin color and eye color, what is she a fuckin pokemon? How are you even a professor? And you talk about not wanting somebody to "colonize" you? Dude look in the mirror sometime.

Honestly OP, I think as long as you are financially able it is a good idea to do this sooner rather than later. If you spend a year putting down roots it can get way more complicated and difficult to suddenly uproot and travel for a year.

This is just personal opinion though, there's nothing wrong with doing what you want with your life!

Might be helpful to inject some more structure in the time you spend together. Like if she prefers schedules, you could get a calendar and mark days/times when you want to spend time doing certain activities, or maybe other days where you are together in your place but have time to do things alone together... if that makes sense.

My gf and I do this, where we set up an hour or two a day where we both go into our own rooms and spend time alone doing whatever we want. We are both kinda introverted so it helps us decompress and relax.

Fucking the environment by buying merch isn't the activism we think it is.

Totally support the movement, but yeah, I don't agree with the method.
