Yes last girlfriend her family own a promotions company that deals with high end clients, concerts etc all around Europe.

And yes the money was an issue she gave freely but always mentioned it when we fought. Nice girl but money makes you paranoid.

Ive not long split up from a posh bird who was very upper class, but she wasn't the problem, her mega rich parents were the problem. my ex took people for who they were but her parents it was all about class. My ex was for ever telling me to ignore her parents but it gets a bit difficult when you get the impression youre not good enough for their daughter. We've split up now but remain friends with benefits. Turns out all is not Rosie between her parents and they're only together because of the money involved and how they would be perceived amongst their small bunch of academic snobbery friends, oh how I laugh.

People worry too much about money. Class is a slightly different thing - but I know many a couple where one earns far more than the other. i.e. 50% more. They just pool their money together and everything goes out of the same pot.

Indeed I never like to judge people based on one experience. I am sure every woman would act differently. She was/is a lovely woman but I am incapable of commitment at this point and she wanted something very serious.

I was once engaged to a girl from a quite wealthy family. Her parents were pretty sound actually, dad ex RAF, and promised they would give us a wedge of cash each year once we were married to help us on our way. Sadly, the girl herself was the problem. Serious mental case (and I speak as one myself). The Chas and Dave song There' Ain't No Pleasing You could have been written for her. In the end my head went - quite literally - trying to keep her happy, and I basically told her to Foxtrot Oscar.

But you can't generalise and I am sure that not all women from a wealthy background are paranoid control freaks with anxiety issues and a deep-seated fear of betrayal.

Some people are confusing class/posh/and money the three are very different.

Many wealthy people in areas like wilmslow (arguably the area most filled with vile individuals outside of essesx) have money but no class.


In my experience people who are upper class (boarding school/old money types) are among the least judgmental people you could meet. They dress down and don't buy their kids brand new Mercedes at 17, they have always had money so don't feel the need to show it off.

Really posh or Skerton posh?

Class means fuck all if you can carry yourself leight and also it's your insecurity, not hers.

Absolutely on the money but some fuckers never stop going on about it and it's fucking cringeworthy.

Catch the irony in these two posts:

One or two would have incredible trouble talking to a working class person.

Her friends were polite enough but I struggled to find anything to talk to them about and we ended up finishing.

The previous Mrs Peoffrey was a Florist who looked after a small shop in a small town - and the present Mrs Peoffrey is a Property Administrator. I find conversation and socialising with them a bit easier.

And then the coup de grâce:

People worry too much about money. Class is a slightly different thing

Not to mention bringing class up again on the SC thread.

Why should anyone give a fuck about class? The only people I know that go on and on about class are twats with chips on their shoulders. I have mates from all social backgrounds and we all get on and take the piss out of each other.

I can't say I have ever met someone and thought "Oh no, he's posh/working class". It just doesn't enter into my thinking. It's 2012 not 1850 for crying out loud.
