Search Results: getting respect at work

My boyfriend (well now future husband) disagrees and in his own words ''I'm marrying you, I'm not marrying your parents nor anyone else''. Also, he explains how for so many years he's wasted time impressing others and he's tired of that already. He stated that from now on he'll just treat others how they treat him. If he's disrepected than he will not respect that person, regardless of who it is.

Long ago, my parents' dislike towards him cause some issues in the relationship. However, according to him the major reason he broke up once is because I didn't stand up to him too much at the time and he was getting tired of trying to give a good impression. He wanted to just be himself and screw the ''impress us, eat our crappy treatment till you prove us wrong and be patience'' thing.

Meanwhile, I never had to work hard nor prove myself to his family nor anyone else close to him. His friends and family liked me (and still do) from the start and all they care is that he's happy. Though, if I were disliked I would at least tried a bit to give out a good impression.

Okay so I don't have much dating experience, and I've already created a mess. I legit don't know what I'm doing.
But I was talking to this older guy, he's 6 years older than me. And I had been talking to him for two months, but he still hadn't asked me out even though he'd told me he was in fact interested in me. And we tell each other secrets about ourselves that we don't tell anyone else. However he's kind of still living with his mom and all that and doesn't seem to want more in his life than his shitty job and room in his mama's house. Which I dislike. However now he's actually like "You know what, we can try it and see how it goes" But he only recently decided that after my friend (whose like a brother to me but works with the dude) told him that there was another guy trying to date me now.

Now this other dude I've "kinda" seen a few times over the course of months. He's a customer, and after like the fourth time he saw me he asked for my number, he looked about my age and was kind of OBVIOUSLY flirting with me, so I was like "He's cute, why not. Obviously not getting anywhere with other dude anyway." So this guy actually took me out on a date almost right away, and wants to go out again. And he's moved out of his family home to take care of his grandmother, which I can totally respect. And he's pretty accomplished. THIS DUDE COOKS, AND knows electrical work, carpentry, and he can work on cars. Now I don't know how good he is at carpentry or electrical work, but he's a cook at a restaurant, and he helped me fix my car. And he's just friggin hilarious. Feels almost like he's too perfect for me though, and if there isn't anything wrong with him then I'm worried because he could do A LOT better than me. like A LOT. But he's also said if he can't get a better job here then he's gonna have to move back to the original state he came from for better opportunities. Which again, I respect this ambition, but it also means he might be leaving.

What do I do? HELP? D:
