He has class/wealth differences with his girlfriend. While she does love him, she also looks at him like a pet/fix-it project and thinks that's her caring for him.
She does care for him in her very privileged, entitled tone-deaf way, but it infuriates him all the same and often makes him feel small ..
Also while the girl loves him, she's very much a daddy's princess type and is under his aegis/influence. She doesn't quite have the backbone to stand up for him when her very wealthy dad insults him.
She is convinced that if he ''assimilates'' into their society, her father will accept him and everything will be fine.
The guy ultimately leaves her, and gets together with someone who can date him as he is, not what he can be.
