Do you ever feel like you married beneath you?

I am single divorced (as a result of DV) well educated and former model with an hour-gl figure. I am also a successful entreprenuer and have raised my four children single handedly for the last 10 years, my kids mom. I frequently have men fall for me and I live in a community where there are more blue collared workers than white collar well educated men. I am now at the point in my life and my children's lives (all teenagers) when I made a choice to start dating and meet men. I've fought them off all these years because I've put my kids first.. had men buy me everything, take me places, etc... but not right for me. I met an incredible man since I started dating that I'm finally attracted to.. in a grocery store of all places. He has unbelievable character, is gentle and kind,.. is my age... a fantastic cook and skilled at what he does. We have great chemistry and quite a bit that we like to do in common. THE PROBLEM IS I feel like he's not my intellectual equal. He is the president of a local union of all things of a group of school district custodians and maintenance crews.. he is essentially a head janitor for the large school district where I live. He has a different type of itelligence than I do I guess you could say.. in a menial way. He dropped out of college and married young and went through a divorce (his choice) after 20 years in an unhappy marriage. He is incredibly loving, respectful, and emotionally available for a man and sometimes the way he treats me I feel like an object of pion in a romance novel. I am having problems with this one issue.. as I can't see marrying him for this reason. I come from a well educated family of means. I just don't want to have any regrets. My parents totally dismiss him and a couple of my kids are concerned. I also have a high drive and wonder if this won't be an issue as well. Could someone please help me? Thanks.
