writes:He has been my friend for 3 years. We get on really well. I trust him enough to cry in front of him and he always makes me laugh. He told me that he likes me more than a friend and I really like him but he is better than me. He has a law degree and I don't really have good education. I haven't revealed to him little facts like that I come from a broken home with not much money. All his family are laywers and doctors. I'm frightened that he will think less of me when he finds out the truth. A part of me says I should push him away before its too late but I value him too much.What should I do?

 I have been, and kind of still am going through this right now, but I can tell you that you should not push him away. I am in the same situation so maybe I can help because of my own personal experience. My boyfriends family is very very VERY rich, his parents have their own private airplane to give you an idea. My family isn't poor, but certainly not millionaires like his and I worried about this for a long time and I still do. If he really likes you, then your monetary value is not what he will care about.
I think it is definately normal to feel like this, I know I do, but its not fair to you or to him to not even try this relationship. Do you really want to push him away because he is too good of a person and never even know what you two could have together. If it turns out he doesn't care about you anymore because you aren't educated and come from a broken family then he is an ass. If he truly likes you then why would he care about that.
I get what you're saying, I really do, but I have been with my man for 2 years and I am the only one who has issues with our different backgrounds, he doesn't care at all and says he loves me for who I am. I hope this helped.

If you cannot tell him face to face, tell him over the phone or through writing. Whatever you decide just be sure and tell him everything. He will understand, he seems to really care for you, so don't be afraid. This is the first step you must take on your journey to a wonderful (that could be life long) relationship. You guys got what it takes, so put yourself out there!
