[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP...I feel stupid since I feel i misread situations early in our dating and came to flattering conclusions.

Such as:

- Texts mom in the middle of a party: I thought aw how sweet! He is family oriented - turns out his mother is controlling and codependent
- Wears nice clothes and shoes: I thought wow he must come from a good family - his mom picked out his clothes to portray a certain image
- Graduated from an IVY and we met at a competitive internship: I thought he was hardworking and ambitious - turns out he is academically gifted but has little career skills or ambition

So now I sometimes wonder how did I get here with someone who I share little with :( [/quote]

Ok, so it turns out that your prince charming has given you a wacky MIL to deal with (common), can't dress himself well (common), and has a well regarded degree, but isn't a hard charger?

Is he nice to you? Are you attracted to him?  Because the three things you've mentioned don't sound too terrible.  [/quote]

He is VERY nice. Treats me incredibly well. He does work hard at his career but in a low pay/low prestige job and I am stressed about how we will make it work in this city.[/quote]

It always comes down to the money, doesn't it? Sounds like the problem is with you, not him. [/quote]
