I am currently in a marriage with a guy who has very strong opinions on people who came from council estates (I myself came from one) and it hurts and really annoys me when he says something really negative about them and people that live on them. As your bf is being quiet about it, I would ask him what his thoughts are on it. Else you'll just get more and more paranoid. It might have just been the shock of seeing where you used to live, if he had automatically assumed that you lived in a nice house etc. It's not where you come from, but the person that you are. Hopefully he'll understand that.
I didn't feel like I could be totally myself with my partner, so acted posher than I was, and just take his and his families views and opinions on things, even when I REALLY don't share their views. Don't be who HE wants you to be, because it'll eat away at you and you'll start resenting him. You'll forget who you are because you're too busy trying to please him. If your yourself around him, and he doesnt like it, then he's not in love with you, but the idea of you (someone to build the perfect home and family with).
As he's never been in a relationship, he might have ideals in women that simply aren't there. We all have our faults, and maybe he just has to realise that things aren't always perfect.
Good luck x
