His Girlfriend Is Embarrassed About Where He Comes From And She Doesn’t Want To Give Her Family Information On Him Because Of This
A 26-year-old guy has been dating his 24-year-old girlfriend for 6 years now. Although they live in America, his girlfriend grew up in Canada, and his family is from Mexico.
2 weeks ago, his girlfriend went to see her family in Canada, and she’s currently still away on her trip.
His girlfriend goes to visit her family every year for a few weeks, and this time, her trip has been different than usual.
“I’m not sure what has been said while she was there, but she called me up yesterday saying that she is afraid of what her family will think of mine when they meet,” he explained.
“To give some context, her family is white and wealthy. She grew up in a mansion next to multiple celebrities, her dad is a doctor, her mom is a nurse, all of her siblings pursued higher education.”
“She just graduated law school and is starting a new job soon. I’m very proud of them. On the other hand, I’m the only one in my family that went to college.”
He has a job as a software engineer, and he does make a lot of money, especially given his age.
His own mom and dad moved to America from Mexico as kids, and they didn’t have the opportunity to complete high school.
“My dad is a hard working man who always provided for his family,” he said. “He works construction and operates cranes.”

“My mother is a stay at home mom and an amazing chef who raised 4 loving children. I am proud of my family and i love them very much. However, my girlfriend does not feel this way.”
His girlfriend told him that she feels humiliated to have to tell her own family this his mom and dad didn’t higher education degrees.
She also feels upset that his mom and dad don’t work in “fancy white collar” kind of careers.
Additionally, he does have siblings, but none of them chose to go to college, and 2 of them have careers that his girlfriend feels are questionable.
Although his family isn’t rich or famous, they love one another, and that’s so very important to him.
His girlfriend’s family will never look at his family and see what he does, and they will always look down on his family for not having big jobs and piles of money.
“They value career and education more than anything, which leads to harsh judgements on my family that i don’t think they deserve,” he continued.
“I’m not sure what to do here. In my heart, I believe my girlfriend should be proud of who I am and embrace my family, not be embarrassed about them and scared to tell her parents where we come from.”
“Is our relationship doomed? How can i forgive a girl that basically looks down on my family for having a different lifestyle?”
