Let's say they only used him/her for whatever type of purpose/reason and you know it from the start (and not because of fondness), would you inform your SO about it or carry it to your grave?
In this case, it's better to be the silent type and say nothing about it.

Yeah that's a good possibility. Ahhh.... I'm getting too old and tired of melodramas.

Your OP is way too vague for me to judge. Since nobody here knows you, your parents, or your SO, why don't you just lay it out there so we can make an informed decision?

Let's say he was being used as a guide towards my future only as well as status (though he's not a college student but I don't care, at least I'm for real).. while my intentions are sincere, then telling will cause nothing but further problems. What if telling the secret jeopardizes the relationship (you with your SO as well as him/her with your parents) completely to the point it's irreversible?

That's still pretty vague. Assume we're all nitwits here and spell it out.

Do you mean that they approve of you dating him because they think he is a "good catch"? That's pretty typical of a lot of parents.
And you are worried that if they find out a certain something about him (or about your relationship with him) that they won't think that any more? That's also pretty typical.
Why does it matter what they think? Are you underage or something?

It's nearly impossible to answer your question without the messy details.

LOL....

wouldn't want to give an answer without knowing a bit more, using, to some degree (though I hate use that term), is something ppl do.

Nope I'm not underage but I'm planning to finish my studies on US. That's the reason they're into pretending to be all cool with him. Hopefully he never finds this post here (since he doesn't know this sn, he won't find me).

Lastly, nope they don't think too positive of him (there was never any type of fondness, it's rather the opposite).. it's all about pretending. Basically he's a tool being used.
