Proxy agony auntSit him down and ask him.

There is a chance that he may not want you to meet his parents because he doesn’t think the two of you might last long enough to bother getting to know each other’s families, or he could just be trying to find the right time.

I refused to introduce my boyfriend to my parents PURELY because I didn’t think they would approve and that they may drive him away from me because of my Asian background and old-fashioned/traditional parents.

My family and I did not get along at all, but after about 8 months into the relationship I finally introduced him. It took me a whole 3 weeks to plan it!

Surely enough they were ok with him in the beginning, but after quite some time they eventually warmed up to him.

You need to ask him, let him know that you would love to meet them. If he’s trying to find the right time to introduce you, then be patient. Best of luck!

There's no reason for you to be mad, fair enough after such a long time he should let you meet them however there may be something behind it.

Have you asked him why he don't want you to meet them or asked if you can?

Suggesting that you want to would maybe sway him to let you meet them, just find out the truth before you get mad about it

Hope this helped :) xx

aunt honesty agony auntTalk to him and ask him how he feels. Maybe he is just not ready to introduce you to his family yet. You both need to be honest with each other. Therefore talk to him be honest and tell him how you feel and ask him to be honest to you and tell you why he didnt ask you to go with him to his family.
