[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I broke off an engagement (well, it was complicated but mostly mutual) for this reason. My ex-fiancé is the son of two specialist doctors who also had some family money to buoy them. My parents come from working class backgrounds and my upbringing was plain middle class, possibly lower MC. It wasn’t a dramatically different life on the surface; we had similar educations and salaries, both attended public schools where we did the usual activities. But while the values ingrained in us were generally aligned (family, education, friends, being charitable) they were completely different in philosophy and practice. I have a ton of examples of this. It was painful and eye-opening. By the end of our relationship we had zero respect for one another.

I married a man with a lot of very specific similarities regarding our parents’ backgrounds, schooling, employment, lifestyle, family relationships, and attitudes.[/quote]

Can you share the differences in values?[/quote]
