[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure how serious this thread is going to be, but I’ll share. I was in a LTR with a guy from a slightly different american class. Both of our families had similar amounts of income and considered ourselves middle class, but we behaved very differently. Once we attended his friend’s out of town wedding. There was a five hour break between wedding and reception. I wanted to go to Panera; he and his friends wanted to go to McDonald’s because he said his friends weren’t rich snobs like my friends and couldn’t afford Panera (they made more money than I did at my nonprofit job). The meal costs were about the same, but as a vegetarian, there wasn’t much I could eat at McDonald’s. When his mom married for the fourth time, her husband took us out on his boat. We were all expected to bring beer - lots of it. So there were four of us on a boat in 95 degree weather, with a case of beer. Later we drove across state lines to go gambling. It was little behaviors like this about food, alcohol, and how to spend leisure time that caused big fractures in our relationship.
