Is he ashamed of me?

Asked by Ladybug2014 (179) October 27th, 2014 from iPhone

I have dated a gentleman for 14 months. He says he loves me very much. He has met my family. I have met his family. He is older…15 years older. I’m black he is white. I feel we are super close. My family adores him. However his mom does not approve . She is in her late eighties and he never takes me around his “old” friends. People he camps with, live concerts, special events… He does not take me to these events. I think it’s because I’m younger and African American. I think he feels people will be judgmental. I have mentioned this to him on a few occasions and he gets upset. So I drop it. I feel left out of a big part of his life because I’m never invited. What could be the real reason? I would take him anywhere….
