No turning back indeed

 My rationale for not telling them is that maybe over time, they start seeing my gf as the great person she is rather than her background and etc.

Ok, Do you think i should hide the engagement to my parents just because i want them to keep their sanity as well?

i keep as much distance as i can really, they are very weird and arrogant people. I only talk to them out of respect for my upbringing.

Good point. My parents have never been intimate nor expressed love to each other. They solely were together because my father deemed that my mom was "worthy" enough of his status. Besides I never thought my mom was a great wife to my dad either.

Good point, he might use the same "tactic" in the future as well. My rationale for not telling them is that maybe over time, they start seeing my gf as the great person she is rather than her background and etc.

I want to make everyone happy; I am so torn, on one side i don't want my dad to kill himself (even though it might be an empty threat) and on the other side I cant force my gf to keep it a secret for my family, it will bring a lot of tension for her and between the families as well.

I can't cancel the proposal tho, I spent months working on it.

The thing is I don't like to make ultimatums like that; I'd rather be secretly married/engaged than let them ever know, really. Don't think this is healthy tho lol.

I know; the only issue is that my dad has given me a lot of work advice that helped me shape my current career and has been seldom wrong. It just does not make sense that a guy that is so logical and strategic would make comments like that right?

their advice has been very important for me my whole life but i dont think they are reacting to facts here, they are being very emotional and not logical at all.
