[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is us. I've discussed it before. He comes from an upper middle class family, I grew up dirt poor ( think no running water sometimes). My background embarassed me, but he doesn't seem to care. The awkwardness comes when he takes me places. I feel insecure that everyone knows I'm not like them. My Grammar isn't the best, but I'm working on it. [b]His family and friends talk about things that I am clueless on.[/b] It makes me feel stupid. I tend to be loud when I'm excited, and sometimes inappropriate. I  am a pretty good conversationalist, and he loves me.[/quote]

Like what? It sounds like DH has pretty damn boring relatives and friends. [/quote]
Science stuff usually sometimes political stuff from other countries. Not just stuff on the news, I'm always watching the news. He and his family are very smart, mensa smart. It's humbling and embarassing. I come from a small town and I've been told how smart and funny I am. It's like... have you seen 'the wire'? When McNulty dated the lawyer and he went from being the smartest guy in the room to feeling stupid. 
It's my own insecurity hopefully it passes.[/quote]

I agree it is your own insecurity. Science and politics are not restricted to upper classes or geniuses :lol: In fact, most people in science I know are quite ordinary. Every field needs its share of pencil pushers. Your perception may be skewed, that's all.[/quote]
