This guy I've been seeing (moved away but still wants to keep in touch) knows my parents are more well off than his, which doesn't bother me at all. But he's brought it up more than twice, could it be bothering him? I don't want him to think I'm too good to meet his parents, because I'm not like that at all! How do I ease this tension for him? Or is it his problem, like he's embarrassed? I want to visit his parents someday in their enviornment but I want him to know it's ok, I like people for who they are not their money. I want this relationship to work!

Just tell him what you wrote ... it's sweet .. and to the point ... try not to assume his feelings or emotions ... that only stirs up more problems ... talk to him about it and pretty much the only thing you can do is keep re-assuring him how much you love him for "him" ... not his money, background, family history ... be truthful and blunt ... if he still seems bothered by it ... I would start looking into my other options ... !

it just sound like he may be a little uncomfortable with his economic status or where he lives, its good that you've expressed that it doesnt bother you at all, its something hes going to have to get over, and if you visit him and his parents and have a good time, then maybe he'll see that there was nothing to worry about in the first place

No as long as both of you have the same financial and moral thoughts. That is that both like and want to save money for the future etc............

Maybe he feels that he has to fit in to your world.
Let him know that he should relax and be hmself, so that your parents can see him the way you see him.
Let him know that nobody is judging him.
Take him home for dinner, and then go to his parents for dinner.
