[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My boyfriend and I are from very different backgrounds. He is white and grew up poor in the inner city. he did not go to college and works a trade job that pays him decent money. I am black and grew up very well off in the suburbs. I highly educated and have a white collar career.

We have fun together and are both very well read and intelligent. I’m getting nervous as we get more serious that our differences may lead to problems down the line. I recently met his friends and they were honestly not the kind of people I would ever hang out with. He wants me to meet his family soon, and has mentioned that there are multiple alcoholics and drug addicts.

When it’s just the two of us we get along wonderfully. Do you think this can work?[/quote]

Marriage is not lived alone on an island   Once you have kids, the differences will be even more apparent. My concern would not be the racial differences at all but the red flags to me are family members who are alcoholics, drug addicts, socio economic differences and people who are you would have never been friends with. That’s a no go so far [/quote]
