[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The more significant thing is that he has a good relationship with his parents and wanted you to meet them. If your BF isn't making an issue if the money thing then you shouldn't either - the only way this will become an issue is if you make it one. Your boyfriend is still the same guy he was yesterday before you knew about his background. Let it go.[/quote]

He sounds like a lovely person.  It's important to note that he is living frugally enough that you didn't have any idea of his parent's wealth.  He is comfortable without all the trappings of wealth and does not feel the need to flaunt it to impress you.

The hardest thing is not to feel "less than" or awkward when you are with his family.  I grew up without money and then ended up in circles with lots of money and class.  It has been my experience that people with real wealth are generally very nice -- just like anyone else.  Most of the time, if people have made snarky comments or let me know that I don't have the type of upbringing that they had, it has been the people with less wealth (desperately trying to climb the social ladder).  Just as you wouldn't judge someone else for being poor or not having attended the best schools, don't prejudge those with wealth.  Take the time to see them as individuals.  It sounds like his parents did a great job raising him.

I wish you all the luck in the world.  Sometimes good things just happen -- accept it and enjoy it.  I suspect that he knows that you are a keeper for all that you offer to the relationship.[/quote]
