[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m an east coast native from a working class white ethnic background. DH grew up comfortably middle class in the midwest. He and I met in college and have lived for many years in DC. When I first met my MIL she asked lots of offensive questions about my family’s religion and on my first visits home with DH the awful, flavorless food and the flatness of everything made me feel lonely. In hindsight a lot of this was just my own provincialness—I didn’t realize there were places in America where you couldn’t get a decent bagel! It has also changed a lot in the past 20 years. DH’s hometown is no longer 100% white protestant, the local grocery stores stock a wider variety of items, etc. [b]But I think a lot of brainy east coast women reject “flyover” because they sense it may also reject them[/b].
