I'm so happy we're together again. However the thing that worries me is money. I've recently inherited a lot of wealth and it's enabled me to do all the things I've always wanted to. Which is basically travel the world. I'm planning trips to South America, Japan, and Europe over the next two years. I spread out the trips because I don't want to leave my boyfriend for too long. I still want a normal life. My boyfriend is just an average office worker. He began working last year when he graduated. He loves to travel too and I'm worrying if jealousy or distance will be an issue for our relationship? Or pride? I'll still let him treat me of course. I'd never expect more than him than a normal girlfriend. But I'm buying myself Chanel bags and such. Will this bother him? In our culture, girls rarely date "below" themselves in status and height. Will his family/friends disapprove of our relationship? Thanks.

 This is something you should probably ask him if you sense that he may have an issue with it. Just as you have said here, explain that you have inherited the money and you plan to travel with it. Explain you have spaced the trips so you are not away from him for too long. To me, saying that to someone is very thoughtful. Even though you want to do something for yourself, you are taking him into consideration. Who knows, if you wanted, he may even want to take a trip with you. I do not think you have anything to worry about if he cares for you.
