[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.[b] I recently met his friends and they were honestly not the kind of people I would ever hang out with. [/b]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]

This is the really big red flag to me.

We can’t choose family of origin but we do choose friends and they do influence us tremendously.  If they are trashy people eventually your boyfriend will engage in the same behaviors.[/quote]
