So I recently broke up with gf of 3+ years. We were getting pretty serious and wanted to tell our parents that we’re dating. My parents were not happy because they believed she was not the girl for me for a couple of reasons: they believed she would become dependent on me (since she hasn’t found a job in over a year), she’s antisocial like me and she won’t fit in well with the family. I was also already thinking about her being dependent on me eventually because she didn’t have the same drive as me to achieve something in life. They believe a relationship should be balancing each other out and meeting each shoulder to shoulder. My parents said that I should date a lot more to figure out what I want. There was eventually a lot of back and forth with my parents but I decided to breakup since I agreed with the points my parents brought up.
