I am 28 years old and live in a small town. I passed my CBSE Class 12 exams with 92% (PCM) , but I did not pursue engineering, which remains one of my biggest regrets. Later, I started preparing for UPSC and gave two attempts, but unfortunately, I was unsuccessful. Around that time, I started talking to a woman who lived in Bangalore. She was working, financially well-settled, and came from a much better background than mine (Father was in ISRO) .I come from a very poor family. At that time, I was working as an accountant in a small home town and earning around ₹15,000 per month. After failing UPSC twice, I moved to Kolkata for work and started earning around ₹25,000 per month. As time passed, I stopped talking much with the woman from Bangalore because I felt that she was far ahead of me in life. Deep down, I believed that I could never match her lifestyle, and even if things progressed, her family would probably not accept me. While living in Kolkata, I joined Bumble and met another woman who worked in the corporate sector and earned around ₹1 lakh per month. We talked for a long time and developed a good connection. The one thing that always helped me connect with people was that I am honest, sincere, and reasonably good-looking. However, due to family circumstances, I had to leave Kolkata and return to my small town, where I started working again for around ₹20,000 per month. Eventually, that relationship also ended because I felt that she would never be comfortable living in a small town . Now, everyone is talking about my marriage. I am open to getting married, but I often feel that someone from a simpler background, or someone who earns less, may be able to adjust better to my lifestyle. I believe that a person from a wealthier family or a more privileged background may expect a different lifestyle, more personal space, and opportunities that I may not be able to provide. I do have a family house in my town, even though I do not have significant movable assets or great wealth. Sometimes I wonder whether I made the right decisions, but this has been my journey so far.
