writes: dear aunt,i am a 22 year old bloke in a one year long relationship. the problem is that my girlfriend is from an upper class family background and she tends not to really associate with people of lower societal status. the problem is i don't share the same values and have friends from all works of life and as you might have guessed at this point, she dosen't relate to them even in public. men and women alike. i have tried to talk to her about it but it seems like she always brakes down in tears and ends with the line thats she is a shy person. i really love my girlfriend but i need her to be civil and say hello to my myfriends atleast. i met someone else (by accident) and she was really nice and outgoing (nothing happened)but i might be having some feelings for her but i think its just me wanting some attention. i guess i am a drama king then please help kevin

Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A
reader, Rebecca Batchelor +, writes (6 February 2005):
 Does your girl-friend associate with people of the same class as her? You need to establish whether perhaps she has problems socialising in itself or just with your friends. What about you? Are you of the same 'class' as her? If not, what attracted her to you in the first place if she is rather biased of people from a lower class.I think you need to talk to your girl-friend further and explain to her how important it is for her to try to get along with your friends irrespective of their 'class'. If she loves you, she will make the effort unless she has some real difficulties with socialising. This is when you will need to support her to help her overcome her shyness.In the meantime, you say you really love your girl-friend, so you shouldn't really be entertaining any thoughts towards another person who you may think is more 'ideal'.Work towards enhancing your relationship.Good luck.
