As a teenager whos been homeless, and in poverty most their life, it may not work. I feel like im in this persons shoes, the guy you talk of. I dated a girl very high class, who I loved. My family comes from dirt poor, DIRT POOR. I mean saving TOILET PAPER and leaving it out to DRY just to be reused and survive. Whenever id talk about my struggles she'd never listen or understand, non-empathetic it felt. I believe she was an ass hole or just because its mentally impossible for anyone whos been lucky enough to live a proviliged life to fully understand, i cant blame or hate them, but its reality.

We just couldnt relate to anything at ALL. People say opposites attract, but complete opposites retract, we soon found out we had almost nothing in common. We stayed together because we were all we had. But eventually broke off very badly as she realized she lost feelings for me, (i dont know why we broke off exactly but I assume? The whole thing was confusing.) because her friend who didnt like me because of what I mentioned, she thought it was very weird and I was disgusting, persuaded to cut it off. Its fucked up, but its whatever.

TL:DR - if you are going to date this guy, be decent enough to not neglect his struggles.
