What I like about @jimmie50 is that he is not debating or fighting the advice given on this thread, but instead taking it all on board to learn about how to navigate his situation. It has been an interesting thread to read.

This thread has sadly reminded me of the parable of The Old Man and His Donkey which is perhaps ominous of how things are going to turn out. So many points of view, so many chiming in to give advice when the relationship technically hasn't even started beyond several days of hook ups. Has there even been a meeting of the minds between the parties, let alone a meeting of the hearts? From the reports that I've read, it seems to me that everything has been glaringly one-sided...

....I don't know but I feel that relationships aren't supposed to be this complicated, more so one that has barely even begun.

Rosehip seed oil might help with the "scarring".

Of coure you are correct, but isn't that one of the reasons @jimmie50 has asked his questions here on the forum? He genuinely wants answers to a whole variety of issues - and especially the potential pitfalls. Entering any relationship has its own set of probems. Entering one with a man much younger than yourself who lives half a world away - a world and cultures you do not know much about - and clearly has a dose of his own problems relating especially to lack of a visa and the nature of his employment has quite a few more. 

Starting a romance should be wonderful experience. Others here have found ways around problems. But surely you first have to know what the problems are or might be?
