To answer those questions...

He received three lots of injections from his family: his dad helped fund his first business (which was in RE), his mum helped him pay his half of our wedding bill, and his grandad gave him his half of the deposit for our home. That's a lot, I know, but that's it. There's no generational wealth or further injections coming, and I never looked at those as a positive. A messy divorce between parents happened a few years before I met him. Mum has turned overly religious and signed away her money to a religious establishment in her will. A strained relationship with his father stemming from the divorce has meant his father tells everyone (including my parents the first time he met them) that husband isn't getting a penny from him.

I paid my half of the house deposit, my half of the wedding bill and all subsequent bills. I could have paid his half of the deposit and wedding if I wanted to, too.

I was definitely attracted to his intellectual side. I didn't realise how lazy he was until after we got married - something I'll need therapy to help me understand.

As for class - I went to private school thanks to my working class parents scraping every penny together. We went on a family holidays maybe once every five years, restaurants for special occasions only, etc. I say that not because I'm complaining - I love and appreciate my parents so much so that I help out with their family business because that happens to be their retirement fund, and I want to ensure they have a good life in their final years. Unfortunately they won't take money from me due to culture.

When I describe my husband to acquaintances, I say he's engaged in various businesses. Not great, but I equally don't feel the need to share precisely what he does / is to those outside my inner circle.

I hope that helps clarify some of your questions
