Hi! This is the first time I post in a forum so be patient with me and forgive me if I don't get to the point quickly. My boyfriend and I have been together for almost four years now and we've always struggled with his family to like me, they overthink my personality because I am quiet around them and honestly don't share too much, frankly whenever I do share something, it has always been taken out of context and then exaggerated, it always comes back to my boyfriend after they tell him whatever it is I said and how horrible it was. His dad hates me, I really am not exaggerating... We saw each other three times and he's been invested in breaking us up ever since. Even though we barely exchanged words, I've always been very nice with them in the way that I know best which is being very attentive. His dad wrote a list of all of the things that I should be and I am not, as if I am supposed to be a cookie-cutter girlfriend. After the second year, I decided to let things go and just focus on our relationship. My family loves him, there's a language barrier but they can tell he loves me and I love him sincerely.
He has decided to propose, we've been talking about it for the last 8 months and now we're more than ready and he plans on doing it soon but does not want to include his family, I can't help but to feel bad for him because he won't have the people that he loves the most by his side to support him. Instead, he is sure that they will try to persuade him from not doing it. We are very happy and excited to take our relationship to another level and even though he says it's fine, I know it's not fine. What should I do?
