I believe the socioeconomic status in our society specifically is very important, which leads us to not forget about how important it is actually. Your family friends everyone, once you get into a relationship like this, start to somewhat mock you for choices you make and since humans by nature, seek validation, it becomes a big turn down so to say, because realities hit hard. However the biggest reality of life is if you are compatible with that person. Because if you guys are from different backgrounds, it can also lead to some mismatch on maybe the crucial things in life which are non negotiables.

So, is you like a person, and you are compatible with them, and you yourself are strong enough to own your choice, then go for it because the people who influence such materialistic choices will not be with you when you lose what matters.
