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!!

I didn't introduce any of my former boyfriends to my family (the longest relationship being ~3 years) because, why? He was dating me, not them. Though If anybody directly asked, I told them I'm seeing someone. I just didn't hide them. Hiding a partner is something different.

If it really bothers you talk to him ask him why you haven't met them. There has to be a reason. You won't get anywhere on the internet

I've been in a secret relationship before because I didn't think my parents would have approved. It stressed me out, in hindsight I think it was immature of me, I should've sorted it out earlier. But it's your relationship and it's for you to decide how much of your bf's life you want to be a part.

Wow and I thought my husband was bad. It had only been a couple months into our relationship when his parents found out, and it was from his brother lol

That was my first thought. Like maybe theres a reason hidden for the sake of the FML, but it seems really shitty on behalf of the boyfriend and i hope for a followup.
