Me and my boyfriend have been dating for about a year and half now and we grew up totally different. He was brought up very spoiled and plans on living at home until he gets married . I grew up spoiled for a few years as a child but around 9 years old my parents split and a few laters my parents both fell into a really bad financial hard ship which forced them to move back in together. Right now i live in a house with no heat/ hot water and no fridge. Every bit of misfortune i could ever imagine has happened to me in the last few months beside losing my family and boyfriend. My boyfriend has never grew up with any problems like this so its hard to understand how these things happen. Im grateful for the small bit of things i do have but my boyfriend will never understand how hard it is to live without things you took for granted would always be there. I dont even know where to begin when i try to explain everything to him. Its very hard dating someone thats never been through hardships like you have. We are very happy so dont tell me stuff like maybe you should break up. It is just hard for a person that lives a great life to be around you all the time and just thinks that these things are so easy to fix.
