To be truthful, I can not. It's not being proud but to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding and pull down syndrome.
Thanks for your understanding

If you really love her as you claim, you won't even take cognisance of these things talk more of considering it an issue worthy of public scrutiny.
I do love her. My only worry is my ppl turning their back on me if I 'stubbornly' go ahead to date/marry her.

Bulk of the replies I see here focus on how I referred to her as 'Low' or how much I earn rather than the highlight of the issue:

I apologize if you lot find the term 'Low' as derogatory. I didn't mean to look down on her but just as a way to describe the difference at the time.
Secondly, I'd want you lot to focus on the key issue here:

Is it possible to have a relationship with someone who is considered to be from a different social class and damn the societal consequences?

If you read closely, you'd have known that I love her despite her standard of living (I hope I don't get lashed out because of ' standard of living'). The crux of the matter is if I can go ahead and date her while ignoring what my family will say. While you ruminate on this, bear in mind that we find ourselves in a society where you just don't marry for yourself alone, but for a family-wide acceptability.

careytommy7:
So because you earn 150K,you decided to call God's creation 'low class'?

Please do everything within to break up with her cos I'm sure she don't know what a disgusting f00l she is wasting her time on.

I'm very sure this he-diot will be among those calling Trump a racist angry
Bros, It'd surprise you that I'm the one trying to ensure we don't break up despite her double-dating. undecided
Story for another day.

Romance / Dating Someone From A 'lower' Social Class? by IpsumDolor: 3:28pm On Feb 05, 2018
My case could be a rhethorical one but I'mma go ahead and spill it.

My girlfriend (new) is considered to be from a ‘lower’ social class than me.
I'm fairly ok, and earn about 150K/mo; while she's relatively a very low income-earning entrepreneur (something my family constantly remind me)

Our way of dressing and talking is a bit different, we live in different social circles (friends) and I’m ‘more’ educated while she's a Secondary School Leaver. I get along perfectly with her family and friends but my friends and family aren’t as accepting of her.

I really really like her but sometimes I fear that the differences might be too much. Is it possible to have a relationship with someone who is considered to be from a different social class and damn the societal consequences?
