Parents don't like my b/f and are always trying to come between us

Hello all! So my parents dont like my boyfriend, were almost ingaged, hes just getting the ring....anyways, my parents know were dating, they know were serious, but theyre always trying to come between us. Theyre always trying to catch some reason they shouldnt like him, anything i say about him they bend and twist it around. For example, he has two daughters, me and my mom took them about an hour away to a halloween party for kids, well i couldnt hear my phone neither could my mom and mine ended up dying. That night when i got a hold of him he was upset neither of us answered our phones....his girlfriend and children were an hour away and he couldnt reach us he was worried, well my mom freaked out when i told her that and told my dad and it became a family drama on "this is why you shouldnt marry him"......so my parents a few days after that blow up, offered me two thousand dollars to go on a date with someone else...i need the money. My bank account is almost always in the negative and my roommate moved out on me and i have a ton of loans and debt, my parents know that. I still said NO. Hoping theyd get it. Now all they do is try and bribe me with all the money if i went out with someone else, "just one small date, you dont even have to like them, just so we know youve dated enough"....i HAVE dated enough, half of the men they dont know about,but ive still dated. and to me it doesnt matter, i fell in love with him, and no one else. i dont need any kind of money to prove that....my parents still dont get it though. No matter how many no's i tell them, they still think they can get me to break up with him. Is there anything i can tell them?
