It makes him hesitant about marriage

I know that not having my parent’s approval of his career path has made my partner hesitant about marriage. How could it not? Nobody wants to feel like their partner’s parents prefer she were marrying somebody else. Even though they think he’s a great man, they’ve just made it so clear that they don’t like what he does for a living—that they fear he can’t provide for me. How is he to ask those individuals for my hand in marriage?
