She Grew Up In Poverty, He Grew Up Upper Class, And They're Pointing Out How It Affects Their Relationship
Learning to live together can be a hurdle for many couples, and the same can be said for married couple Michaela and Alex Akins. However, as opposed to learning that you both are used to sleeping on the same side of the bed or that one person snores, these two quickly noticed that their upbringings in different economic classes spawned habits the other wasn't familiar with.
You see, Michaela experienced homelessness in her childhood and early adulthood, as well as food insecurity. Alex, on the other hand, grew up upper class, and the idiosyncrasies each partner developed because of these differences can sometimes knock heads.
Recently, the couple shared their differing habits on TikTok in a three-part series that has been viewed over 8 million times.
