Hey Emma,
One of the harder things to accept, for me personally, is that you do not have the ability to change other people. You may be able to force him to tell his parents but that would just break the trust he has in you. You could ignore the issue and just act like nothings wrong but lying can only last so long. You will eventually lose respect for him and that’s not easily restored. So what other options remain? For one, acceptance. Accept the fact that you can’t change him, accept the fact that this is a part of who he is, and most importantly, accept your feelings about this entire experience. Accepting these things will deepen your understanding of your boyfriend, it will deepen your connection to yourself, and it will expand your ability to let go of the things you can’t control.

I would also recommend sitting him down and peacefully talking to him about how you feel. Always keep in mind that if lose your temper with him and allow your emotions to run wild at him, you will lose your ability to achieve a peaceful result with him. Communication is everything in a good relationship. If you really think this person is worth your energy, find a way to communicate how you feel no matter how hard. He may have reasons for keeping it to himself that you’re unaware of, he may not have that strong of a relationship with his family. In my experience, how someone treats their family is how they will treat you.

It’s overcoming the hardships together that strengthen a relationship. Do this together instead of taking all this stress and worry on yourself. Take a step back and relax. What is meant to be will be. Have faith in yourself and see this as an opportunity to strengthen your relationship and strengthen yourself.

Be patient and open to understanding.
