My friend remains adament that her partner ‘is not posh’ and ‘kinda rough’. I do not care if her partner is posh / not posh / employed / unemployed as long as he makes her happy. - (Usual british obsession with heirarchy - I do not even know why she tells me this; I do not care)
He grew up in a ‘huge’ house and attends the private golf club with his father (very very elite area).
Anyway she hands me the wedding invite yesterday and he has ‘sealed’ the wedding invites with wax and with the family plaque with his initials that have been added on. She talked me through the whole plaque. I mean it is lovely, But YANBU to feel she is delusional about his social class?!
He seems a lovely guy but when she tells me ‘to find a nice down to earth man’ ‘like him’ - I am really starting to think she just does not the markers of wealth. I would not mind but she always says the men I meet ‘are poshos’ and therefore ‘should be avoided’. When she handed me the wedding invite with the red wax I nearly died. He probably has a signet ring.
As I said I do not care in the slightest about social class - it seems to be she keeps bringing it up and playing his down for whatever reason. I am starting to think she might be insecure for some reason but I cannot work out why.
