He got pretty much everything he wanted in life and I got what I needed and hardly ever got anything I wanted. His family has always been more well off then mine so I feel like may be I am just too white trash for him. He grew up in a very small town in Kentucky and I grew up in the projects in Indiana so I think that effects my self esteem knowning that I came from the ghetto and that he grew up in the country and had more than I ever did.

You are not trash and are so much more than the background you were born into, although the experiences have affected you. You are a unique and special person, with your own special combination of qualities that make you who you are - and you are worthy of love.
Criticism can be hard to take on board, how it is delivered can make a big difference. For instance, maybe "I prefer you in the black dress" rather than "the green dress doesn't look right on you", maybe talk that over with him when you are feeling calm and okay to do so.
