<human>: Summarize the given text in a few sentences.

Hi. We've been dating for almost 6 months now, and this is my first relationship. Anyway, I've grown to fall in love with him, and last week, he told me he loves me. I couldn't keep it in any longer, so I reciprocated.

But it's far from an ideal situation. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree (80 miles away from him, but I'm home almost every weekend), and when I graduate in 2 years, I'll be making a decent amount of money. I love learning, and I love engaging my brain in academic pursuits. He, on the other hand, graduated high school with much difficulty, and is now working a temporary job for $8/hr. This is the reason I haven't even been able to tell my parents about this relationship, as they will not approve of his status/lower intelligence/no interest in academics and career. And to be honest, I don't like that we can't talk about more "intelligent" things (as pretentious as that sounds), and though he is a good person and treats me so well, he often doesn't understand what I'm saying, so I have to water down my language. I recently realized he can't do simple quick math in his head (10% of 1000), doesn't know the numbers/12 of each month, and can't spell words like "different."

It's hurtful to have to recount these bad aspects about him, because personality-wise, he is great. But I'm at such a strange place in my life right now because he's the only person I've loved, yet I cannot see a future (marriage + kids) with him.

I know the easy answer is to just break up before I get even more involved, but it's difficult to really even fathom that right now. Our differences in mentality and the fact that I have to hide this from my parents is really draining me, especially when I have intense school + work loads. Help?
<bot>: I'm in love with my boyfriend who is much less academically-minded than I would like him to be, and this is becoming very stressful for me - what should I do?
