F27, I have been in a relationship with a person for the past five years. He is very understanding and supportive, but he has faced many family-related challenges in his life. Because of those issues, he could not complete his college education. He tried preparing for government jobs for some time, and later moved into a private job, working hard to settle his life and build a stable future. On my side, I am not from a financially wealthy family, but I have a stable job. We are now planning to move towards marriage. However, I am worried about whether his family will accept me. Although they are financially more stable than my family, they already have some grievances towards him because of past family issues. At the same time, many of his relatives are supportive of our relationship. I do not own a house, and I am still trying to improve my financial situation and build a better life. I often worry whether factors such as not owning a house or financial differences between our families could create problems when it comes to marriage. I also wonder how I will handle all these challenges. Since my parents are financially and physically weak, I may have to manage most of the marriage expenses on my own. Despite all these concerns, one thing gives me happiness and confidence: he is genuinely supportive and always prioritizes my well-being. He never judges me based on financial status or external circumstances. Still, I live with a constant fear about the future, family acceptance, and financial responsibilities. I am also planning to switch jobs for a better package so that I can improve my situation further. How can I overcome these fears and approach this phase of life with more confidence?

You guys need to live and stay with each other. If you can sort out how to manage your finances then this relationship will work. You can't worry about his family's wealth and yours instead focus on how to build a life together or don't marry him, if you see this as a problem.
