Basically a couple months back my partner started working for a extremely wealthy family in the UK, I can't say much because we've had to sign NDAs and if I give to much away and someone with abit of knowledge also from the UK sees this it won't take them long to guess which family I'm talking about.
Because of my partners job he's kinda close to the family but not in anyway formed a relationship, he's just the staff in there eyes they don't care for his opinions but they've expressed there's whilst he's around.
My partner travels a hour and 10 minutes to his work and we live very far away I'm the city. The town he works in is full of the super rich and everyone is extremely posh.
My partner was offered a mangers position which comes with a house on the family estate and they will also give me a job. My job will probably be working in either there shop, spa or pub. The thing is I'm from the city and I'm nothing like these other people working for them.
I'm your typical commom British girl and I find it hard to not say what I think and to pretend to be something I'm not.
They got one of the girls from head office to show me around all the estate jobs and I felt as if I really didn't fit in. Most the girls there were just fun employed and living off daddy's money. They are all beautiful, skinny model types whilst I'm a frumpy plain jane who has no idea what all these girls are saying and they didn't make me feel welcome at all either.
I'd take a cleaning job but I can't drive yet and if I did the cleaning I'd need to travel to separate buildings across the town.
The lady of the family basically said I was too common to work for them right it front of my partner not realising he was my partner in that moment. She didn't even care from what he told me and apparently joked but I needed finishing school.
I'm polite and very quiet around these people because I'm so nervous but even they can see through that but I'm not one of them

Oh man, that's a tough situation. On one hand, that manager job for your lad would be sick, but they sound proper fashed about you not being posh enough. Here's what I reckon:
Don't change who you are just to please them toffs. You're sound as you are - who wants to be one of those fake trust fund tarts anyway?
Your partner can still take the job if he wants, but I'd tell him to stuff it if they're gonna be rubbish to you. Blood's thicker than water at the end of the day, innit?
As for you working there, sounds proper toxic already. I'd avoid at all costs, yeah? No job's worth feeling like that.
See if your fella can swing something remote maybe, so you don't have to deal with the wankers. Or look for your own gig back home near your peeps.
End of the day you both gotta do you, but don't let anyone make you feel like you ain't proper. Keep it real - that's what really matters.
being "too common" is fine. nothing to change.
