We've been together for over a year now.

He's met my whole family - parents, siblings, and even my toddler nephew, who loved him so much, by the way.

I've met a few of his aunts and uncles, but never his immediate family. I told him that this made me feel like a mistress because why would I have to be hidden in the dark if I'm not?

Now, I don't come from a rich family, but we're all educated and with noble jobs. I'm self-sustaining and earning well myself. He and his family have more higher-income jobs though. I think this might be the reason. But when I confessed to him that my insecurities are triggered because of feeling like he's ashamed of me, he told me it's not something I should worry about.

This has been causing us arguments for almost half a year now, which totally sucks because otherwise, our relationship rocks. He's sweet and caring, but I don't find him the most desirable when this issue comes up.

Whenever I bring this up, he would either divert into a different topic, get mad, or just totally dismiss me as if this issue shouldn't have any bearing on our relationship.

I may have to note that we both come from a very family-oriented culture.

I could probably deal with it if he could only provide me with a sensible reason, but he can't. Besides, I don't want to be in a highly argumentative relationship. I don't know if this is enough reason to break up but I can feel that I'm getting tired.
