My marriage ended because I'd been less than forthright in letting my DH know who I was before we married. I own that.

He grew angry and resentful as he came to understand my background. I fault him for not being proud of me instead of becoming petulant, but I also concede that I was being understated about my family background, education, relative wealth, life experience, cultural awareness,...general sophistication. He wanted a village wife and that's not me.

The sad thing is that I never worried about our mis-matched backgrounds. The only thing that mattered was what I thought was our shared values and the life we could build together.

I hear what you're saying, OP, although I would state it differently.

PP, when I read the first two sentences, i thought maybe you had battled meth addition and trashed your credit (or something else along those lines).  But then I read the third sentence!

In the interest of not high jacking this thread, could you post your own tread and go into a little more detail.  It sounds like you had a privileged background that you hid from.  Why? Wouldn't it have been obvious when (STB)DH met your family for the first time? What exactly does 'less than forthright' mean-- did you actively deceive or just withhold information?  What is the relative disparity between your background and your DH's?[/quote]

I am sure it's true that he became petulant that she is so sophisticated.  That's a thing, right?  Before she was one of the guys, drinking Natty Lights down by the river.  once they tied the knot and she only wanted to go to the opera, he cut the sleeves off all his shirts and started dipping snuff and spitting in the water fountains at the Met.  It just wasn't working out, you know?[/quote]
