I caught up with a couple of old uni friends with the other day (first time in a few years) .. They both seem to be doing really well and both have met partners in the same occupation and they are really happy which I am very pleased for them!
I have been with my partner a couple of years now and the first thing asked what his profession was (Plumber).
Neither of them looked best pleased for me and then went onto to make sly remarks like 'I could never date outside my social class'. They then went onto question our compatibility, prospects and his earning potential which I don't think he does to bad considering he bought his own house at 25. This has really upset me as he is such a nice person and I was brought up in a working class family of which I deem myself to be even though my job title would be considered middle class (accountant)
Do occupations affect compatibility?
