<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

My SO and I have been together for over two years. We have quite similar personalities/interests/quirks, but have rather different backgrounds: I'm from a more conservative, religious, and close-knit international family, whereas his family is more laid back, non-religious, and his parents have both re-married. Education-wise, I'm a college graduate (and will be starting graduate school in the fall), whereas my SO never went to college.

I will say that the fact that my SO has not been to college does **not** bother me, as long as he is passionate about what he does (he has a good job in IT) and strives to succeed in his field. My family, however, has increasingly been telling me that they want the best for me in life (which is great, I do appreciate that.) Since I live in a different city, we often Skype, and they constantly want to know if my SO is with me. When I say no, their response is, "good." My older sister chatted with me asking if we hang out very often, because I should have my own time to relax, and just go on fun dates with him. It's a bit hurtful...they seem to be saying that I should not be getting attached to this man because he will not provide a good life for me. 

I love spending time with him, even just sitting around, but my family makes me feel wrong for doing so. I feel so comfortable with him, especially after a day of putting on an act, so to speak, for the world. He has never wronged me, and I enjoy thinking about our future--but I become sad when I think of my family's stance. They mean a lot to me, and I know that they mean the best...I just wish they could accept my SO more. 

Has anyone ever been in a smiliar situation? I'd appreciate any advice on this.
<bot>: My SO is not the man my family dreamed up for me, and they keep remarking on how I should stop spending time with him.
