[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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

Social class? Are you from 1800's England? There is no social class and certainly no one is better than others for being lucky to have more opportunities. If someone thinks it makes them better, you don't want to be that person or their delusion of grandeur.[/quote]

Oh, there is social class. The mistake is thinking of class as having political power, which was the case for 18th century England. But we still have distinct socio-economic cultural groups. Someone from a poor family in a West Virginia hill town is going to have a very different outlook and cultural taste that someone who grew up in Chevy Chase and went to STA or Holton. [/quote]
