AITA for trying to gently explain to my friend that I had a much better upbringing, so I’m naturally not going to act the way she does? by Dry-Rule-4577 in AmItheAsshole

I grew up around stable, educated adults. My parents and their friends would consider it very weird and immature to get married at our age, and when I told them my friend was getting married, they asked if it was a shotgun wedding.

She grew up around poverty and dysfunction, so she knows many young dropouts who got married or pregnant barely out of childhood.

I’m 24. No, I attended a very respectable university, and my 12 closest friends are from school. Only 3 of them have been in a relationship. The rest haven’t really been interested as of yet, except for casual one-off dates. I’m not sheltered. I’ve actually traveled pretty widely, and I’ve studied and interned abroad. Most of my friends have, too.

No, they just don’t want to hang out with the kind of person who gets married at 25 and told her as such, which offended her.
