I am a bit worried about this since my boyfriend still don't know my family background. I come from a poor family and my father and brother are sick. Do you think he will still love me if he finds out?

if he realy loves you the family back ground dont matters but it depends on the partner.i am the same too i was very poor but i am married to a great guy has a great job as a insurance expert and big company in germany and now we live happily with our little girl. so dont worry about it.if he is filipino its difficult because i had filipino boyfriend, work as an engineer and i am very poor so the family dont like me at all.

Yes he is a Filipino. He comes from a very rich family. Although we are both professional, I am really worried of my family background.

Well a person if loves someone actually then loves his or her family too, but it is better to start a relationship based on facts and figures. Have you told something different for your family then may be he might not take it easily,as lying is one thing which can hamper a friendship.

I can't speak for your boyfriend but if you are falling in love, I would recommend you talk to him. Let him decide. Lying is never a good thing. Then he will feel that you lied to him and that might run him off.

Hi ritchel! Your family status in life should not be a factor in doubting your boyfriend's love for you. I do believe that true love does not measure wealth or achievements. Don't doubt his love, have faith in him and his love for you. Take care always. lovelots..faith210

if he really do love you, he will accept you from who you are and from where you are. whether you are poor or not. If he cant stand it, then he doesnt love that much that he cant accept you. [; If you know he loves you much then you shouldn't worry a things. Good luck girl!

I cannot really tell since I do not know your boyfriend personally. For me it would not be a problem. I know that people tends to be practical these days but I still believe that love conquers all. If I really love someone it doesn't matter if he comes from a poor family as long as he has a dream and he is hardworking. And of course as long as we love each other. =)

Family background should not be important. You are in love with the person not the family and if he truly loves you, it will not matter to him.
