[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What have been some downsides to marrying outside your social class?

I grew up UC/UMC and my dh grew up MC/LMC. There are some cultural differences that become annoying such as the following:

- He thinks everything is expensive and does not have reasonable ideas about cost and quality. He will always go for the cheapest thing
- Horrible taste in food. He will buy these frozen prepared foods from Wegmans and think it is healthy
- Dresses in graphic T-shirts and jeans and a baseball cap. ALL THE TIME! 
- Has a chip on his shoulder about "rich people" and higher education

I buy some of the frozen prepared foods from Wegmans and they are perfectly good. Their frozen pizza is the best frozen pizzas I've ever had and is comparable enough to expensive boutique pizza places. I grew up solidly UMC and do understand the preference for quality, but don't knock Wegmans! It's not Aldi's!

Of all your comments, I'm a bit curious about the last one and his chip on shoulder. How did you meet him? Why did you marry him? Would it not be obvious enough early on in your dating years? I quickly filtered out anyone who seemed to have a bit of a class agenda in my dating years.
