Repeating karmic patterns across multiple lifetimes is a common theme (analogy : if you have not yet achieved a satisfactory grade in a particular exam / module / course / issue, you would want to repeat it for the sake of personal growth and gain, even if you're in a different lifetime / school / company / organization in different time periods).
It would not be surprising if, in a past life in the medieval or renaissance or the roaring twenties (or any other time period in any country) era, he was similarly the son of a fairly wealthy upper middle class baron or businessman, while she was a princess of sorts, possibly royalty or at least much richer and more powerful than his family was.
He may have, similarly to today, pined for her superior-class hand in marriage with futility. Such strong emotions, generated over many years of anguish and psychological torment, leaves a strong psychic and karmic footprint, an unresolved issue the soul must continue to work with and balance, in future lifetimes.

Confession: I live in a semi-D and drive a car but I'm still not good enough for her

http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/s...ut_i_feel_inferior_to_my_rich_girlfriend.html
Today's confession features an NUS undergrad who is in love with a girl from a rich family, and he feels inferior trying to woo her although he himself is also quite well-to-do.
Here is the confession in full:
"I feel that my life mirrors that of Jay Gatsby.
"The 'Daisy' I love is from Medicine faculty and she comes from a family of bankers who have amassed their fortune for at least 3 to 4 generations. Living at her Nassim Road bungalow, she probably has everything she wants - smart, pretty, rich, with a sophisticated lifestyle. Sometimes I catch her getting chauffeured to school in a Bentley during the mornings I have my breakfast at Starbucks. What a great start to my day!
"While I on the other hand live in a commonplace semi-detached off Braddell Road. My father is a businessman, and our family earned the money through my parents' hard work and are the noveau riche. While I am aware that I am fortunate that I can drive to school and live relatively comfortably, compared to my "Daisy," it is still not enough for her.
"Before all of you label me as spoilt and insensitive, let me just say that I know that I am very lucky to be in this financial position. But I cannot help but feel inferior when the girl I am trying to woo is living in her palatial home with everything she can ever want.
"Bear in mind that I am just a simple arts student, and the reason why she has not reciprocated my overtures is partly because she is hesitant that I am not up to her standard. I have done everything I can to prove my sincerity, and some of my friends say that I should just find someone else.
"But I cannot help myself. "Daisy" is the world to me and I even saved up my allowance to buy her a Dooney & Bourke handbag because I know she likes collecting them.
"I feel like I am not good enough for her. She is across the bay and I find that even though I stretch out my hands further, she is still being non-committal about our relationship.
"It is as though I have exhausted all my options.
"What should I do?"
