I've just told my parents about my boyfriend and they said they would like to meet him. Problem is I'm already on bad terms with them because I have not told them about past relationships. They don't exactly approve of this relationship but are willing to meet him. I have not mentioned to them that because he is moving back to his hometown after he graduates in the spring. Him and I are not going to stay together. I told my boyfriend not to mention that to my parents and he told me he didn't feel good about doing that but that he'll go along with it. So his response got me wondering if not telling them is a good idea or not. I know it'll happen eventually but I didn't think it'd be wise on the first meeting. Opinions please.

Why would you tell your parents about him if you knew you two weren't going to be together in the spring?

 

Seems pretty pointless.

 

And then you have him lie to them?

 

What kind of game are you playing here, human chess?

Just introduce them. Your parents don't care that he's not your future spouse. They simply want to know who is in your life NOW. Let you rBF tell them anything he pleases. Lying serves no one .

They sort of figured out that I was seeing someone so I basically just admitted it. Honestly if it wasn't that they found out, I would have never told them. And my parents definitely care about not only who I date, but the reason why. So while I'll eventually have to tell them, I'm not sure that I should tell them right away or not.
