[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I met and married my white American DH when we were fresh out of graduate school. I am a first generation immigrant and I have the thirst and drive to live a certain "UMC" lifestyle. I grew up pretty well off back in my home country and as an immigrant we want to improve and better our life. The thing I did not understand was that my American DH, although he grew up LMC and MC, does not have any desire to culturally and financially become or associate with the UMC.

He is a Trumper and his feelings have hardened significantly. His parents worked hard to send him to the best private schools and colleges but he shunned his wealthy peers and would choose to associate with the kids who were also from his background. He got into Harvard for graduate school but turned it down because it was "too liberal and full of snobs."

He provides resistance on everything. He will not shop at WF and not give up eating hot dogs because he isn't "going to eat grass."

He doesn't want his kids to go to a "rich kid school" because he wants to be able to relate to them.

He doesn't want to live in certain neighborhoods because "stupid yuppie liberals."

He has cut out friends of ours he deemed were too "yuppie liberals" for us.

I am going crazy as I LIKE that stuff. I grew up with most of it and have an ease and comfort with these people.

I feel like I am losing a huge part of who I am and who I want to be. [/quote]

Why hasn't your DH divorced you already, you think?[/quote]
