It’s easy for him to be tolerant and loving when he doesn’t even have to spend time with you or talk to you much. And I don't see how he is caring if when you are upset he pulls away and isn’t talking to you. You can’t even tell him how you feel. So how is he caring? That’s not what loving men do. He does what’s easy and acceptable for him. That’s not really being caring. Now no one can tell you what to do. If it’s comfortable for you then you can continue but if it’s upsetting then it’s not going to change.

It’s not like you have to want to meet his parents or seek their approval. He isn’t interested in introducing you to anyone. Friends? Other family? And if his parents are incapacitated and bed ridden for all 12-13 years? No way

Oh he understands why you are upset. He isn’t stupid
