Insecure about my upbringing
I've been dating my partner for about 2 months now, and known them for about year now.
I knew that they were on the wealthy side, but they were very humble, down to earth and never made a big deal about having money and I liked that.
But it wasn't until I meet their family that I started to become insecure. Growing up, my family never had any money. We were basically lower middle class struggling to get by sometimes. My mum was a teen mum when she had me and ended up having 2 more kids in her early 20s.
We had my dad around but it was still hard on all of us. We were living paycheck to paycheck. Because of this we never got to go anywhere fancy like Disney, or travel to different countries for vacation.
I'll never have the experience that their family had. Sometimes I feel like an imposter and I hate that feeling. I want to enjoy the luxuries that they have without feeling like a rat.
They have such a different view of the world,
that they can have anything, go anywhere, experience life without its troubles and it sucks.
I still very much like my partner and I want to be with them for a long time. I just want this feeling and insecurity to go away.
I doesn't help either that I think one of their family members might not like me, but hey can't win them all I guess.
