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!!

It's okay I dated a girl for four years and I never told my parents.

Oh god I'm in the same position!! My parents haven't met my lovely boyfriend yet, despite we're officially 2 years together now. My parents are Moroccan muslim and my boyfriend isn't a muslim and he's Dutch.. My life totally sucks

So ask why and say "We have been together for two years. I think it's time to meet your parents." I reckon he's met yours
