I apologize in advance, as this is going to sound elitist and snobby. So be it - I don't know where else to go. Background -- I am 27/m and she is 28/f.

My family is poor. It has always been poor. However, we were never "trash". We sat together at a table. We discussed politics, contentious social issues and ideas. I was taught to try my hardest and do my best to break out of our social class.

I run two businesses now and hold a great career. I have done this without any financial assistance whatsoever. I am exhausted but proud.

My girlfriend and I get along very well. If it was just the two of us -- we would be great. She satisfies me sexually, cooks and cleans, is mentally supportive when I am stressed out, and appreciates our relationship roles.

However, her best friend (28 y/o) works at a dead end minimum-wage job with no future prospects. Her best friend's fiance is a 37 year old unemployed man who can't drive. My ex's previous boyfriend was unemployed for years and dependent on alcohol and marijuana to get through the day. My girlfriend's mother (divorced) has re-married into a family of complete trash. They're the kind to fart around the dinner table while stoned out of their minds. In front of the grandparents. There is no respect. They are losers with no prospects. One of the father in law's sons had a child at 19 and he is not even legally allowed to have custody over his daughter. Because he's a pathetic fucking loser.

Recently, my girlfriend has been trying to rekindle a friendship with a former friend of hers. This girl has been in and out of rehab centres and 2 years ago ran away out of state and lived in a shelter with some abusive boyfriend.

I don't want these people in my life, but i want my girlfriend in my life. She has come along way. I have pulled her out of debt (by teaching her how to manage her money). She has since started a business and has her career on the right track. She is no longer an emotional and mental mess. I have introduced her to the finer things in life. We replaced her broken car, she now doesnt eat TV dinners every night, and so on. She seems grateful and regularly shows sincere appreciation.

I suppose I can take the woman out of the trailer park but not the trailer park out of the woman.

What do i do?
