How do I (30M) navigate my relationship with my parents (60s) given that they disapprove of my GF (30F) of 3 years?
I've been dating a girl for 3 years now. We've been living together for about 1. My parents have never met her. Understandably they've been dealing with health scares for my grandparents - some of whom have passed in this period. My gf has very little vacation time - which she used to see her parents. This last week, we finally decided meet in person since I've turned 30 and every person is asking me about marriage. The meeting went fine at face value, but afterwards my parents literally said "This relationship is wrong for you. She won't adapt into our culture." They want me to be open to casual "non-committal" dates again which I don't understand how that wouldn't be cheating.
Both me and my GF are from different immigrant backgrounds. I always expected some pushback from our extended families, but I'm at a loss how to take this news from my parents. I haven't hid her cultural background either, and if they raised strong objections in the first 6 months maybe I would have considered breaking it off, but at 3 years this just seems too late. I haven't told my gf their opinions yet. I'm not considering breaking up, but I don't want to just have my parents resent me and partner.
TLDR: Finally introduced gf to parents. They do not like her.
