I would bleieve your b/f before i would believe any man i did not know. There is many different views on these basic things. Some depending on how traditional they are in there beliefs, some will end a relationship if one set of parents do not approve. And then there is other familys that do not enforce this. My fiance told me that if my family did not approve we could not continue our relationship too.

Now as an educator it is best to learn as much as you can. But i would not let these words of this man bother you. It is one man's opinion. Did he have sources to prove what he said to you, i am betting not. If your relationship is still young and 3 months is. Then just sit back and see where it takes you.

You have a advantage that most of us women do not have. One he is a citizen, not using you for a visa. Two he has a job, you will not be supporting him. And three he has a home of his own. Lets not call the kettle black yet, till you give his family a fair chance to say yah or nah. If he has no intentions of living in his home land again. He may let love make his decision for him. I have a basic 100 questions you should ask before considering marraige. But is more towards islam, but still a good guide for anyone.
