backstory: I have very strict parents and they have met and seen the fuckboys I’ve dated. They also have witnessed my heartbreak and depression first hand. I’ve introduced them to some very very disgusting guys. Last ex, got in my moms face and called her a bitch and was yelling at her. I regret that more than anything.

I have matured and want nothing but the best for myself now. I’ve been single for almost 3 years now. I’ve dated (secretly) and didn’t want my parents to know anything about the guys I’ve met/got attached too so I kept it on the low. I made a promise to myself that the next guy I introduce to my parents is going to be the man I settle down with.

present: I met an amazing guy who I’ve been talking to for 3 months. He WAS a truck driver when we started talking and the distance is why made us bond more. We talk every night before bed. He has done just about everything to prove to me that he’s being serious, because I doubt a lot. He and I INSTANTLY hit it off. He’s so goofy. He genuinely makes me happy. He does the smallest things that make me fall for him and I want this to work more than anything. As mentioned, I began talking to him secretly and he’s the first guy I brought up to my parents in a while. They began to question and want to know about him. Once I told them he was a truck driver. They instantly began speaking negative about him and our relationship. I honestly didn’t know what truckers are “supposedly” known for. It might be true it might not. But my boyfriend eventually quit his job so he can see his me and his family more and now I’m lost on what to do. He’s applied to local trucking jobs just to prove his self to me. I haven’t been this sure of what I want more. I’m honestly very tired of disappointing my parents and I just want everything to be fine. I’m tired of hiding. I’m tired of lying. Any advice? Thanks ladies!
