haztod tells us more.
Hi, OP here - I'm super surprised this got posted! Just to clear some things up: my boyfriend is American and studying here in the UK. I have met his sister and we get along super well, but not anyone else in his family, nor do they know he's dating someone. From what I understand, his parents - especially his dad - aren't really big on relationships, especially when studying, as they can be seen as a distraction. I know for a fact that it was his mom as they usually do voice calls and I sit quietly, but she wanted a video chat so I shifted rooms on this occasion; there's definitely not another girl in the picture! I spoke to him about it after the call and explained that it upset me a little and made me feel like he had to hide me, and he was very apologetic and felt guilty - he told me this was his first serious relationship and he wasn't really sure what the right steps were in terms of parents or when they should happen which I actually found quite sweet. This is definitely not a deal breaker - he is so wonderful I wouldn't let something like this ruin our relationship! He just Skyped his mom again tonight and told her the news, so it's no longer an issue. He has met all my family and they adore him, so no issues there!

Everyone is being so whiny. Dear God! In most cultures, when u introduce a SO to ur parents, its serious. Serious like we are going to be getting engaged within the next two to three months. So should the OP dump her guy. No. If anything give it time. Being introduced to his parents, especially the mom, is not something u should just be expecting. its a privilege and an honor.
its time use the weapon..."honey we need to talk" .. it always works..
You're dating a loser or you just don't matter that much to him anyway
Are you sure it's his mother and not his Wife?

And that's not a deal breaker for you why?
An option would be to walk up to the camera in your birthday suit and tell him you missed your period the last two months.
