Why am I his secret?

I am a sophomore in college dating a guy who is a freshman in college. We have been together nearly 5 months.

Basically, the story is, he hasn't told anyone from home that I am his girlfriend. In fact, I barely exist to his friends or family that live 5 hours away from campus.

He seems to be afraid his family will find out, as if having a girlfriend is a problem...though I understand his family may not always agree with him dating.

In fact, I have been in the same area that his parents have been, though he did not take the time to introduce us, even as friends. Like I said, I barely exist.

I have tried to be understandable and patient, however, it's starting to eat me alive. We are about to be out for summer break in a month, 5 hours apart. Will he care to make plans if he's afraid his family will find out? Will he even call me if he is afraid someone will hear me?

Will he wait a year until he tells them? Will he ever tell them?

I hate to say it, but it doesn't exactly make me feel valued, being so secretive about us. My parents know. And he talks about us having a solid future together. So...isn't revealing our relationship inevitable if you want a future with me?

I can't tell if he's even proud to have me at his side. I don't need public posts on social media or anything. I just want to meet his parents and hear him proudly say we are together.

I don't know what to think now.
