Hi, MM.Thank you in advance for your time.- Can a relationship reach long-term status when there's a difference in socio economic class? My guy shows interest now, but I'm not sure how much longer I can hide my insecurities when conversing about his life and education. (if it matters, he's not pompous or narcissistic)

Short answer is, yes it can and does. Frequently.
Is he fussed about the differences? Doesn't sound like it to me. So why should you be?
Oh, I know, you've got this idea in your head that you are somehow "not worthy" of him and will eventually disappoint or bore him.
That idea is total balls, and you know it.
It can last. You have to change the way you see him and yourself. View both of you as human with faults, not that hes better because he may have more money or education. Good luck.
I have know one thing that makes a difference; adaptation. Many girls want to move up by marriage, But still want to be untouched, Well that is not going to happen! Class is very different from money. Money can buy things but it cannot show you how to behave or alter your speech pattern or your values. It is an either or scenario. m\Many women have moved up by marriage and been successful at it. Many failed as they did not adapt. It is up to you.
Yes, or I would not still be married to my wife.
