Going to school full time is just like a full time job - sometimes more depending on the subjects and the amount of time required outside of the actual classroom. It's hard balancing school and work and family and friends AND relationships... Sometimes all it takes is a good schedule and time management skills, or maybe it will require you to be less demanding. How much time do you guys get to spend together? Do you live together? Is the time you DO get to spend together "quality" time?
There are some other issues in there as well. I'm wondering why the age difference makes a difference when it comes to him not being able to spend as much time with you as you would like. Do you think the age difference is a problem between the two of you?
Now for the bi-curious question, I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me, but I can only speak from personal experience here - I can't imagine how any relationship would survive with one or both members messing around outside of the relationship. Either you're in a monogamous relationship or you're casually "dating" and seeing other people. Doesn't matter if you're straight, gay, or any kind of combination or variance. If he says he's ok with you experimenting with women then maybe he really is and there is no alternative motives or anything. But I couldn't imagine that wouldn't cause doubts, suspicions, jealousy, and more problems to plague the relationship.
