My boy and I have been together for 4 months (have talked way longer than that, for maybe about a year) and I want to introduce him to my parents. But here’s the scenario.

I’m black, he’s white. My parents are very conservative and don’t want to see me messing around with anybody right now (especially no caucasian fella) because:

a. College

b. Fear of getting pregnant (even though I have a contraceptive implant that they don’t know the existence of...🤫)

c. Don’t want to see me grow up I guess?

They know he’s a good guy cause he’s done so much for me when I was in financial trouble (he paid for my phone bill, my food... when my parents couldn’t send money because idk broken system I guess).

Whenever I’d get into an argument with my fam he’d be the shoulder I’d cry on.

He helped me get a credit card. He took my money transfers for me when I was a minor and couldn’t legally do it. And they know all of that.

Yet they don’t want to know that I have any affection of some kind for this guy. I had to hide that fact by labeling him as a « good friend ».

...

I’m devastated. This « secret » is weighing me down and wearing me out. I want to be able to live my life without hiding anything to anyone.

It’s already been 4 months (more like 4mins to me!), if I keep on lying like that when they discover that whole situation I’ll be in even more trouble.

I feel like I’m betraying everyone by keeping my mouth shut. (Everyone besides my sisters ya know, cause they’re on kettle mode practically 24/7, that tea really be too much sometimes 😂).

His entire family knows about me though. And they seem to have accepted me and liked me (thank god).

Which makes me feel guilty. I don’t know what to do, please help me out ladies xx
