Also i feel really embarressed when he comes to the house because its like no where near the kinda thing he's used to. He's really nice but brought up so he doesn't know the 'real world' if that makes sense. Like by accident he will make comments about me being poor and that kind of thing which really gets on my nerves even though i know he doesn't mean to. I really like him but i feel like we are worlds apart, the romance is still there and strong but i dont feel like we dont have the same values if that makes sense. Im not sure if it could ever work?

Well Im currently madly inlove with a poor guy and I mean poorer than you can imagine..... thats the least important of my issues with him.
From being the person with more money, I would strongly suggest not being embarassed about not having the same as he does. It makes no difference to me that the guy I love has less money than me. It probably means nothing to your boyfriend. If he makes comments about you being poor dont take it offensively... If your poor your poor.,,,, its not something to be ashamed about its a fact. Just make a joke about it.
I do believe it can work, you just need to accept your both different. There will be compromises that need to be made. When you cant afford to do something he wants etc... you need to do something you can both afford.... This would be your opportunity to joke, "not all of us have huge wallets" etc.
Just relax and enjoy your relationship, you get to see how the other half and live and so does he. And he will probably learn alot about real life over time. I know ive learned so much about real life. Its been good for me. It will be good for him to.
