If gravity is related to objects pushing down on the fabric of space-time, how is there no true ‘up’ or ‘down’ in space?

I’m sure I’m not really understanding gravity theory, but I have in mind the illustration of marbles on a bedsheet. If that bedsheet is space-time, why isn’t there some sort of universal up and down as objects relate to each other?

Every object creates a gravity “hug” to anything that gets near enough to it according to how much mass it has. The more mass, the stronger the hug is. The hug is shaped like a ball.
