How old is the guy and what job/business do you yourself have - your own source of kncome?

I work in a good company and earn over 150k
My boyfriend runs his own business and is also doing well, he is above 30 years

Sequel to my initial thread, I finally brought my boyfriend home to meet my parents but they outrightly rejected his marriage proposal saying that their daughter is not ready for marriage now. They said we can continue our relationship but they can’t approve the marriage, when he left they gave me the reasons for rejection:

1. He is not my class
2. They want me to build my career
3. I am rushing into marriage(at 26 years)
4. They want me to see other guys because he is the only person I have been with since our university days

I find these excuses very silly because I don’t think it’s right for one to pursue career and forget about marriage. It’s not like the guy in question is jobless, he currently has a business that is doing very well

I also don’t see myself double dating when I’m in a serious relationship with someone. We both love and understand each other but my parents are making things difficult for me.

Wonders shall never end. How can she judge a book cover she hasn't even seen?

It's unbelievable!

Indeed! We both live in different states that is why it has been difficult to come over/visit. Now I want to formally introduce him to the family by inviting him over as we want to take things to the next level but they have bluntly refused to see him, giving me flimsy excuses.

I have been in a serious relationship with a guy for 7 years, last year I formally introduced him to my parents. We want to start the marriage arrangements this year but my mum has bluntly refused my fiancée, her excuse is that the guy is not presentable due to his slender physique and she feels that I will be maltreated by the guy once we get married.

I know this guy too well and he cares for me a lot and has never raised his hands on me. My mum has insisted that if I go on with the my wedding plans she will disown me and place a curse on me.

What baffles me is that she has never seen this guy in person, they have only talked on the phone, she just made her judgement via phone calls and photographs.

I really want to fight for what I love but both my parents have refused to respect my decision.
