Is a marriage across social divides doomed for failure? If a man with wealth marries someone from a poor background then in the back of his mind does he worry about his wealth and introducing her to his friends ad peers.

I had an ex who was an ardent Spurs fan… does that count?

She said it wasn’t funny when I got a whole train carriage of arsenal fans to laugh at her over the phone after a cup semi final

Apparently that was “needlessly cruel” ……

It'll bring challenges as any marriage does.

I'm not sure why a wealthy person would worry about introducing someone from a less well off background to their friends and family though.

Is it about her knowing how to hold a knife and fork. Table manners are very important to some and being able to hold small talk with the other wives when the men are discussing other things.

Well if she'd been a scullery maid she would have picked these things up while observing the social interaction of her employers so I'm sure it would be fine

I'm pretty sure poor people have table manners too.

I don't see it as an issue, I've dated people where I have been the high earner and vice versa it's never affected any relationships.

Was this all over the news in the 1930s?

When the women retired and chatted about flower arranging and how good the new Nanny is whilst the men drank brandy, smoked a Cuban cigar and did man talk..

I think it’s less of a challenge now than it was 60 years ago.

A man with Wealth can marry any woman or class he desires he wint have antsy problems.

However women only marry upwards and will be unlikely to marry a man with less means or social status.

Men are attracted to beauty and women to status. A poor but beautiful woman will always marry wealth or look for a man with higher social status.

A man has to build his by work or study.

It doesn't work like that either. If a woman wants a man she is always going to get one regardless of looks/body type.

It's the women that tend to set to high standards.

If those things were that important to you then why would you marry someone without them ?

There is also the language barrier to consider, have you heard the way some women from common backgrounds speak, it’s almost indecipherable.

My ex husband came from a very wealthy background whilst I grew up in a council house.

However, I turned out to be a grafter while he turned out to be a work shy scumbag and a criminal to boot.

No wonder it failed
