Update: My (32m) fiancé (31m) told his parents we weren’t together

So, Thursday night, Jack and I sat down and talked. I asked him why he didn’t tell his parents about us, and he couldn’t answer me. I told him how it made me feel, and he just shrugged. I asked if he ever did this with his previous relationships, to which he said no. I asked if his parents expected him to settle down with a woman instead of a man, and he said his parents would be fine regardless of who he ends up with. I then reluctantly asked if it had anything to do with Max (My son), and he said no again.

At this point, I’m even more confused and starting to get frustrated. I don’t understand why he’s hiding our relationship from them. I ended up asking him if it had something to do with me, and I was met with silence. I asked him what I did wrong, and he turned away from me and said that I didn't do anything wrong. I kept asking him, but he still wouldn’t answer me. I was getting annoyed and was going to go to the bedroom to cool down and try again tomorrow, but before I could leave the room, Jack spoke up.

He told me that he was having doubts about our relationship, and he didn’t want his parents to know about us in case he decided to break up with me. I didn’t know what to say, so I just stood there staring at him. When he noticed I wasn’t going to say anything, he carried on talking. He told me that he began questioning our relationship before we got engaged, and the reason he proposed was because he thought it would make him feel better about us. But it didn’t. I asked him if he wanted to break up, and he said he didn’t know.

I feel numb right now. I thought Jack loved me like I love him, but apparently not. The thought of him only proposing to me because he thought it would make him not want to break up with me hurts so much.

So I guess the reason he didn’t tell his parents about us wasn’t anything to do with them, but it was to do with us.

To everyone who said it was between him and his parents, thank you for giving me a shred of hope that it wasn’t me.

I really don’t know where to go from here. Do I give him time, or do I break up with him? I feel so lost.
