You sound young...
for the reasons your parents don't like him, I wouldn't break up with him... but you seem young and still live at home, wait until you are 18, get out of the house and do what you want.

That's no reason to break up with him. Your dad just doesn't want you to be in a relationship. I don't see any reason why you had to give that gift back either. It was your birthday, why not?
I have no idea how old you are, but a year is a long time to be together (in the teenage years). I would definitely say NO to breaking up with him. Your dad's crazy.
Also, dads are normally over-protective of their daughter's having boyfriends. Especially the first.

How young are you? If you are so young that you cannot support yourself, then you have no choice but to respect your fathers wishes.
There are alot of customs in other countries that American girls don't seem to get. There have been times when a marriage failed and the father took the children back to his country to be raised in their ways. So maybe your dad is just afraid for you. However just because he came from another country is not a reason to not like him. Almost all of us, your father included, had ancestors who came from other countries.

if you're having doubts (considering a breakup) in this relationship, it means that you're not 100% sure of this guy too.
Talk to your parents nicely and find out the reason why. I'm more there is more than "he is not from our country".
My ex-bf's parents never liked me and i thought it was because i wasnt from their country. It was really tiring for me, trying to please them whenever i could. We continued to be together despite disapprovals for 3 years. Until he finally broke up with me saying that a relationship is never possible without blessings from our loved ones.
What i am trying to say is, either you make your parents accept him. OR it is going to be a tiring journey, especially for him.

In my opinion to enjoy life and making friends etc are different compared to entering into marriage relationship. I partly agree with your father that he wants you to be married with the boy of his own country. In marriage relationship one will remain satisfied if similarities between two families are more. Because one is more acquainted with his/her own environment. It depends on individual also that how much change in the environment one can tolerate. The gap becomes wider when one goes beyond caste then religion then state then country and so on. Before marrying somebody one always finds all positive aspects in his/her counter part. After marriage when they start living together, remaining negative aspects start coming up making relationship bitter. I think before going for marriage decision you talk to your boyfriend on such issues, try to know about the similarities and differences both between you and your capacity to cope with them. Here is lying difference of culture, nationality, loyalty, level of thinking, way of approach, monetary conditions, way of life and lot many things. Give some time to yourself and to your boyfriend to think on these lines. Then decide whether to marry or not to marry. DONT BE REBELLIOUS, just because your father doesn't want. Think yourself first. If you are convinced then convince your father also. If not convinced then find another boy friend or agree with your father's decision. GOOD LUCK.

If your parents don't like him, don't date him. Do you live under your parents roof, follow their rules. It's their house. When you get out on your own and start taking care of yourself you can do whatever you want to do.

You mean break up. NO, you shouldn't, unless you don't like him, either. Or you know why they hate him.
