Family class?

That isn't even a relationship. You're describing someone who actively dislikes you and everything you represent but is somehow still with you (was with you). What did you think of her? Did you dislike her as much as she disliked you?

Physical attraction can sometime override poor personality matching (in the short term).

She was a fascinating person, and a very talented vocalist. We got on great for the first few months. But what started out well ended up as a train wreck, of course.
 
Was this relationship the basis for any dramedies or romcoms because it sounds very familiar.

You were the posho (play along, we know you aren't)
She was the gifted kid from the streets.
Could it work? Could love blossom even in these harsh climes?

NO BECAUSE YOU ARE BOTH TERRIBLE PEOPLE, JUST IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

I would watch that movie. Twice..

You've gone for 'basically' whereas I would have chosen 'exactly'.

I won't derail any further but I would like closure on a burning issue : how long did you last with this mis-matched commoner?

Also, thanks for playing along, you've been a good sport :) e: <---- that sounded sarky on re-read. I'm not being sarky. (this also sounds sarky but is not)

If you earn a wages from an Employer - You're Working Class.

If you pay out wages to Employees - You're Middle Class.

If you don't know what wages are - You're Upper Class.
 
Tough one really. Dad was old bill and mum was a nurse then medical receptionist. They live in the countryside with two nice cars so I say middle class.

Not quite.

You are poorly educated (it runs in the family) and you earn minimum wage through to being comfortable = working class

You are well educated (as are your family) and you have lots of life experiences, foreign travel, and a good standard of living = middle class

You left university with a third class degree in history and walked straight into office to become Chancellor of the Exchequer = upper class

She wasn't totally wrong, no. But you can see how that would cause no end of problems in a relationship.

I think that is more to do with her personality rather than her class. In fact is sounds like she had a distinct lack of class.

I come from what can only be described as an underprivileged poor background, my wife however is the polar opposite, her father is an Architect, her mother is the daughter of landed gentry. Aside from some initial concern from her maternal Grandparents neither she or her familiy has ever assumed superiority based on our disparate upbringing. In fact her Grandfather said at our wedding that is was about time there was some real blood in the family line...lol.

In fact I would say we complement each other in a way that none of our friends seem to. It is also interesting sometimes how our different perspectives inform the way we approach issues though, especially with regard to raising our Son.

Ultimately I think it is down to how you feel about yourself, if you think you are inferior then you will be inferior.

She thought I was a snob, took the mickey out of my accent, where I shopped for my clothes, where I lived, my peer group, my food tastes. She said my schooling was overpriviliged and biased and my political views underinformed and bigoted. For starters.

For all you know, she was the classy one and you weren't ;)
