So I’ve been with my boyfriend(22m) for about half a year now and I want to introduce him to my family. The issue is my parents are very close minded and traditional.

My boyfriend is not our race and has visible tattoos. On many occasions, they have made it clear on their opinions of tattoos, and even going as far as to say I will be disowned for having tattoos. I have tattoos of my own, but they’re not visible. However I actually do see a future with him and I’m certain that he’s the one I want to marry. Any advice for this ?
Here are what netizens think:
- LOL…..BF 22m means you are barely 21. So young you alrdy confirm he is the one? Your parents aren’t close minded. They just eaten salt more than you eat rice and they simply tell you their preference.First of all, you are just with this boy for 6 months…..still so early to tell if he is the one.Second, is he financially stable? If not, wait till he get a proper job before you introduce him to your parents.You said you see a future with him. So what is his future be like? Is he going to buy a flat with you? Is there a plan?While I don’t have any issue with tatoos, my advice is that you give this r/s more time – maybe another 6 months to 1 yr before you really decide if he is good enough to show your parents.He must be able to convince your parents he can take care of you FINANCIALLY otherwise, nothing else matter. That is what your parents truly care abt.
- Woh liao, at least you must tell us or explain what kind of future you forsee in him and together with him , before asking for any advice lah…
- I am also strict with my daughter. But that is to protect her. But I don’t need her to convince me. She just has to convince herself. If she thinks the guy is right, then it’s up to her. But if she comes back crying, we will be there for her as a safe harbor, while I go fix the guy.
- Just be brave and introduce him! Let your family know him as a person, let his personality/attitude outshine his appearance/tattoos
