Boy friend into a boyfriend?

Look, your going to have to take the risk if you want the reward. Yes he is a little intimidated with your success. He may even feel like a failure at times. But this can be a great opportunity for you to buff him up. Us men have egos that are sometimes sort of frail. you can make him fee good about going back to school and his life. If it don't work out you can still be friends even if it hurts. To me it sounds like a good idea. Go for it.
