<human>: Thank you for reading. Please keep an open mind while reading this; it's a special situation due to cultural differences.

We have been together for 7 years; so through high school, university and we both have jobs now & focusing on our careers. We've had our downs (just like any other couple on the planet), but we are happy. We make a good team.

**Twist:** My parents don't know. I'm from a South Asian family, muslim (I don't practice) and he is European. I was not allowed to date back in HS, and if they found out I had a BF, things would have been very different. They would think they failed as parents to have a daughter stepping over the cultural boundaries (lots of emotional blackmail – lets not get into that). They would be hurt, and lose trust. I didn't tell them because I knew they would push us to get married. I have been very responsible, and this is for their own good that they don't know.
Now, since they think I don't have a BF, they are trying to get me to meet people/trying to set me up. Not pushing arranged marriage, I definitely have a say. I would like to tell them that I have a BF, but I am not even sure what our future holds. I have a feeling we both know the things we want, but a little intimidated to actually talk about it. I'm 23. I would like to be married by 26 or 27. I want to know that we do have a future and we are on the same page. This way, I can also introduce him to my parents. (They think he is my friend). 
Any advice?

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: I'm not sure how to discuss our future with my bf of 7 years. Even if we dont get married for another 4 years, I want to make sure we are on the same page.
