Wow, I really didn't think this would get posted! OP here to answer questions, yes it is a cultural/religious reason why his parents have yet to know, he is Moroccan Muslim. We plan on telling them soon when his dad comes back to America :) he just doesn't want to tell them over the phone and risk making anyone angry. Thanks for the comments guys!

I'm sorry, OP. This doesn't mean anything. His parents probably just don't approve of him dating, so he kept you his little secret :)

This may seem silly but it may be to protect you. I read recently of a young man from the UK who has a girlfriend who's revently transitioned from male to female and he hasn't told his parents because of their opinions about transgender people. He's not telling them so that she's protected from possible hatred which he feels is unnecessary. Now I'm not saying you're transgender and I'm not saying that his parents would definitely dislike you but there's a possibility he's not telling them for your benefit. Long stretch! If it's not and he's just hiding you from them, then he's an arse and has some very serious explaining to do!!

OP, your boyfriend might not consider you a "keeper" or long term prospect if he has not introduced you to his family. Beware!!

He must be hung like a horse for you to put up with that garbage for two years.

Time to either change their knowledge about you or change who you're dating. No significant other deserves to be hidden from parents, friends, or anyone for that matter

Okay, this is getting ridiculous. Why does everybody feel they should involve their parents in their love life? What the ****, people? It's nobody's business but your own who you date, OP. The same goes for your man.

I don't see why this is such a big deal. Personally I have no relationship with my parents and haven't talked to either of them since I moved out, so since they have no involvement in my life, they know zero about what I do and who I associate with. Maybe ask him about it, it isn't that big a deal op.

Have you told him how this makes you feel? I wouldn't put up with this unless it was for a very valid reason; and those are so rare I'm struggling to think of one right now!

Maybe OP's boyfriend is estranged from his family

Maybe he just doesn't want people knowing? It's his personal business. I'm close with my family but I don't tell them about relationships because that's my personal business.

Hang in there,OP! My boyfriend didn't tell his parents about me until 5 years in. We are from different backgrounds and his (and mine) parents were strict. 9 years later I hang out with his family all the time, and we've even been on three vacations together. It gets better!
