TL;DR - Look at the title, self explanatory
Me, I'm 21 years old, and while I'm raised from the South, my family moved to the Northwest when I turned 11, and I'm just as Northern as I am Southern. People are sometimes surprised when I told them I was born and grew up in Tennessee I am a democrat, not very religious, and study English literature in college.
My boyfriend, he is half a year younger than me, and his English isn't perfect, but we have no problem communicating, and I speak his mother tongue pretty decently too. He's a diligent guy who's going to get his degree in international journalism soon. He's an American citizen, politically liberal, atheist, and isn't very fond of my parents when I told them what kind of mean folks they can be.
My parents, they are painfully stereotypical Southerners, even after living here for a decade. You've probably seen or heard of people like them before. They keep quiet in public, but in home, you wouldn't wanna know what kind of things they say about blacks and Muslims, and occasionally immigrants, usually the Latin Americans. Well, at least they are rather favorable to Asians, saying that they are "hard working and civilized", haha.
Well, we've been dating for five months now, and I haven't told them about him, because I KNOW they will freak out. They want me to date only "good ol' white boys" so that we can raise the kids with "American values"(and yes, they think every guy I date should be considered as a future husband material), and expect both myself and the guy to be virgins until marriage. Well, I've been sexually active since 17, him, since 16.
In a couple weeks, him and I decided to go on a road trip for a month, and I think it'll be really fun! But I don't know if I should introduce him to my parents and say that we'll go together. They'll obviously know we're going to have sex, a lot, if we'll be alone for a whole month. We've been having sex for a while now, but they obviously don't know. He said he'll be a bit nervous about meeting my parents, but he'll respect my choice and follow along.
I can just lie to them, and say that I'm going alone or with some other girl friends, and they most likely won't know. Or I can take the risk, introduce him to them, and see what happens. But what I'm worried about is that if they don't like him, which is a very likely case, then they're going to be very vicious to ruin my relationship with him. Of course I'll stay strong, but I think we can all agree that nobody likes unnecessary drama.
What should I do, introduce him, or keep him secret for now?
