[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We got divorced. It wasn't so much about the money as it was the drive/ambition/motivation. And I'm not talking about some sort of ambition to be a millionaire, I mean that he wanted a dog and then wouldn't take care of it so I was the one walking the dog every day. (I also wanted the dog but thought it was going to be a shared responsibility). The lack of earning (and caring) was more an indication of the problem than the actual problem. Luckily I saw the light after the dog and left before we had kids. [/quote]

This is what I said to a friend who had a very underemployed boyfriend. She was trying to figure out if it mattered because she earned enough money for them to live on at a middle class level.

WHY he's from a lower social class matters, maybe more than the social class itself.

If his family of origin was working class or whatever but he's an ambitious hard worker who earns good money as an adult -- great. Or does she have the middle/UMC life/background and career while he's CURRENTLY as an adult living a working class life?

The latter will lead to conflicts, 100%. Been there.[/quote]
