I have a new bf, but parents love my ex?

My ex and I dated for almost 3 years, but broke up 3 months ago. I started dating someone else recently and I want to introduce him to my parents because of respect. They love my ex and still ask about him a lot, they would like us back together. However, that ship has sailed and I'm happy with my new bf.

Is it too soon to take a new bf home since they still ask about my ex? I have made it clear to my parents that it's over. Also, my new bf doesn't have a job because he just moved back with his parents to go back to college this summer.

My new boyfriend's family has been nice and I've gone to dinner at their home twice in the past week. His mom is a little over protective of him, but she's been nice to me so far. It does bother me that he doesn't have a job, but we have done job applications together so he can get hired.

    In my opinion, it's your boyfriend, not your family's. If he treats you right and there's the chemistry between you, stay with him. And so what if your family liked your ex? There's probably a reason why he's your ex! Do what makes you happy, and don't mind what your family says. And if you want to introduce him to your family, go for it. Just ask him if he wants to first. Boys have feelings too!
