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!!

My boyfriends parents are the same way very traditional mexican couple. Since we're young they think that if they allow him to date or acknowledge that he dates that he will get a girl pregnant and settle down and they want him to build a legacy first before any of that.

You can take this time to practice honing your dirty little secret skills. just in case you want to have an affair later in life.

I know the feeling and even some members. Yet, they live in another state. I wondered how you find that out!?

Well, do they have a history of harassing his previous girlfriends? You might want to ask for some clarification before you get mad. There might be a real reason, or maybe he's just an asshole.

Get pregnant, decide to keep the baby, and file for a ton of child support. They'll find out about you soon enough.

You should definitely talk to him about this. It really depends on what his reason for not telling them is. If there's a special situation, like his parents are super crazy/strict or something, that's one thing. If there's not a good reason, though, that's really not cool.
