I met my boyfriend in college about 5 months ago. He’s white I’m black, neither one of us cared at all. So we’ve been going steady for 5 months and I realized I have not met his parents yet but he’s met mine. Which I didn’t find to weird because he never talks about his parents, I’m thinking maybe they don’t have a good relationship. So with thanksgiving coming up, I ask him how about we have dinner at his parents house, just to see what he says. If he said no, we could just have it my mothers house. He gives me the excuse they don’t celebrate Thanksgiving and I didn’t believe him because he looks down when he’s lying but I let it go, like I said he might not have a good relationship with his parents. So a week goes by and he out the blue says, yeah let’s go meet my parents before thanksgiving. Now all of this is so weird and off, but I agree. We plan a date Friday to go, and when we get there let me tell you, that was the worst human interaction I have ever encountered. First of all we get to the door and the mom and dad are shocked, mom and dad wouldn’t even shake my hand. We get in and He doesn’t even really introduce me he’s just standing there awkwardly, so I introduce myself and the dad says “we didn’t know you were bringing company.” I’m not going to go into detail but the “dinner” if you want to call it that was a damn disaster, they asked the most awful questions, were rude as all hell and basically asked how I even got into the college we go to, which a very expensive school. I tell my “boyfriend” we need to go, because I’m pissed. We get in the car and I ask him what was all of that, and he says I needed to see how they were, so I would understand. I’m at a lost, and I ask him so what happens now and he basically says he still wants to date but I just don’t know.
Now reasons I’m mad, you could have just told me they were racist, I don’t need a demonstration. Why the hell would you bring me here and have me go through that, and not speak up for me once. Reasons why I don’t know what to do is, do I really want to deal with racist ass parents the rest of this relationship. I mean don’t get me wrong, he’s a great guy, we click well but I just don’t know if I want to deal with that, and he loves his parents he just hates their views. And I’m not about to give him an ultimatum, me or the parents. Because I do feel for him and his situation but is this something I want to do through.
I’ll take any advice guys, I’d like some opinions before I cut ties or stay.
TL;DR should I break up with my boyfriend because he’s parents are racists?
