CaptainJeffry:Thanks for your understanding |
Xinzu:I do love her. My only worry is my ppl turning their back on me if I 'stubbornly' go ahead to date/marry her. |
Bulk of the replies I see here focus on how I referred to her as 'Low' or how much I earn rather than the highlight of the issue: I apologize if you lot find the term 'Low' as derogatory. I didn't mean to look down on her but just as a way to describe the difference at the time. Secondly, I'd want you lot to focus on the key issue here: Is it possible to have a relationship with someone who is considered to be from a different social class and damn the societal consequences? If you read closely, you'd have known that I love her despite her standard of living (I hope I don't get lashed out because of ' standard of living'). The crux of the matter is if I can go ahead and date her while ignoring what my family will say. While you ruminate on this, bear in mind that we find ourselves in a society where you just don't marry for yourself alone, but for a family-wide acceptability. careytommy7:Bros, It'd surprise you that I'm the one trying to ensure we don't break up despite her double-dating. Story for another day. |
My case could be a rhethorical one but I'mma go ahead and spill it. My girlfriend (new) is considered to be from a ‘lower’ social class than me. I'm fairly ok, and earn about 150K/mo; while she's relatively a very low income-earning entrepreneur (something my family constantly remind me) Our way of dressing and talking is a bit different, we live in different social circles (friends) and I’m ‘more’ educated while she's a Secondary School Leaver. I get along perfectly with her family and friends but my friends and family aren’t as accepting of her. I really really like her but sometimes I fear that the differences might be too much. Is it possible to have a relationship with someone who is considered to be from a different social class and damn the societal consequences? |
