Yet your a middle aged woman with multiple kids....

You just don't have the diction of someone with a "really good education", and throughout your posts, there are consistent nuances of the speech patterns typical of low socioeconomic groups (I'm not saying this is good or bad, but there ARE clear markers of SE status in any person's diction). I believed you were telling the truth as I followed your first thread; throughout that, your diction shaped your image in my mind. As soon as you mentioned your background, I felt you were a liar. It just doesn't ring true.

OP here: You are free to have your opinion and I'm not going to sit here and beg for you to believe me as I truly don't care. You're trying to tell me that I am lying about my background, education, family, etc. just because of how I type and talk on an ONLINE forum. It's actually pretty comical to me to be honest. How I type or talk online, really has nothing to do with anything at all. I have to write many emails to clients daily and I can promise you that I know how to write and speak professionaly WHEN NEEDED. Half the time, I'm typing quick responses on my iPhone and don't really care how I come across. So again, have your opinion, that's completely fine but you are just making yourself sound dumb by judging someone off how they come across on the internet.

See, here's an example: "judging someone off...". This is not the first time you've chosen that turn of phrase. That is not the word choice/usage of a person who grew up around well-educated people, and/or someone who had a "really good education". It is the poor grammar of someone who did NOT have a "really good education". It is not a typo, or due to typing fast: it is ignorance of the English grammar spoken by individuals who grow up among people who speak properly. People who have been successful for several generations (as you have described your family) do not CHOOSE to speak proper English: they speak proper English because that is the only English they know. They don't accidentally lapse into the speech patterns apparent throughout your posts.

Yet it is not only your grammar that indicates your background: the words and terms with which you describe your family are decidedly NOT the words and terms New England families of the type you attempt to depict would ever choose to describe themselves. You describe your "family" using words/terms that their nannies would use when describing their employers.

+1. The bobcat BF could still be true, but the family background described here most likely isn't.

OP here- You are acting like I claimed that I am RI royalty or something and that my family is so damn famous and well known and I NEVER did that. I simply said that I grew up wealthy (which I did) and that my grandfather had a business that got passed down to my father (which he did) and that my last name is easily recognizable to locals because 1) it's not very common and 2) RI is a very small state. I'm not claiming I grew up in giant mansions and have yachts etc. but some of you are trying to make it out to be like that is the case and it's not at all. I grew up in a pretty decent sized house (I believe my parents house is around 6,800 sq ft) and was fortunate enough to go to two private Catholic schools growing up and take vactions, go out on the family boat, etc. Nothing I am saying is so elaborate that it's not believable. You'd think that I claimed to have grown up in a 20,000 sq ft house with private planes and yachts, etc. and I never did. Yes, my brother and sister had a nanny but we did not have butlers or multiple full-time house keepers or any of those other things.

So again, think what you want. I'm "SO SORRY" that my speech and grammar is not what you think it should be. You are just coming off as a judge assh*** but at the end of the day, you have to live with yourself so

In America, periods go inside quotation marks, so I guess you are not well-educated either.

I am posting from outside America, actually. But maybe I'm not well-educated, just observant. Note that I have not made claims about myself in any way. I think only one of us is here to do that.

OP: The math here doesn't add up. I come from a reasonably well off family, and I am certain that people from my SES would not date a guy like your boyfriend, EVER. It's not so much about the money also, it's more about education, a certain class of a person. There is a lie here, either you lied about the first thread or you are lying about your background. People from your supposed background do not date bobcat hunters with no education. I feel sad for you.

Did OP ever say she is beautiful? I'm guessing she's a butter face which might explain the low self esteem.

And Catholic school does NOT mean elite private. Obviously based on her poor grammar, etc.

Butter face? how old are you?

Catholic schools were not elite privates where I grew up, but that wasn't in Rhode Island, so I'm not sure. I did go to a Catholic high school, though, and I have discussed that experience with other former Catholic-school students as an adult, and I have NEVER heard someone refer to these institutions as "private Catholic school", probably because ALL Catholic schools in the US are private (as opposed to Catholic schools in UK and some other European countries, which can be both Catholic and public...but I haven't ever heard a European Catholic school grad say "private Catholic school", either). It would have sounded really weird to me as a student if someone had referred to our school as a "private Catholic school"; when asked what kind of school I attended, I always said, simply, "Catholic school" (and so did everyone else I knew). The OP's grammar/diction remind me of characters in V.C. Andrews novels.

Ok we get it, you have posted multiple times with the same comments- give it a rest.

I grew up in a middle-class family, and I know that my parents chose Catholic school for me because they could not afford to pay the tuition of the truly elite privates. Catholic school tuition where I grew up was considerably less than that of elite privates. Most families at my Catholic school were middle-class, but there was a significant blue-collar faction as well. My mom would have loved to send me to one of the elite privates, and she talked about this frequently. The very high SES families didn't choose Catholic school. (disclaimer: I loved my Catholic high school!)

Op here: I never claimed that the school I went to was "elite". I went to high school at La Salle Academy. I just said that it was a very good school. Also, my family is much more wealthy now then they were when I was in school. Both my brother and sister go to a private college preparatory school that costs $31,000/year just for middle school.
