"My ex-girlfriend's family was a stratosphere higher than my upbringing financially.
1. Constantly compared to members of their family and never can "match up" to their expectations
2. Huge difference in norms and what is acceptable or how things are handled ex. A summer bbq is a polo and slacks/fancy dress shorts event, not t-shirt and shorts
3. They keep personal events within the house to a creepy extent. "We don't talk about the family outside the house" I was specifically told. Whereas growing up poor, everyone knows your business."
