was not mentioned anywhere by the OP. But it was clear that the girl is married back home.

The arrangement between the two is a private matter and judging them (the two of them) is not healthy. There will always be two results. Positive (the girls was supported and finished her studies and get a better job). Negative (the guy finally abandoned her and the girl's future became bleak). Either way, no one among us can predict it but judging the OP on his move negatively is something very hard to comprehend coming from someone like Olive (who is soon to be married-western-style as she mentioned, do I need to know if the guy is western?).

Let's hope for the positive result and delay our judgment (maybe after four years or four months or four weeks) 'til we heard again from the OP what happens now! Fair enough???????????
