Asalaamu Alaikum, my sister the first thing you should do is cut off all contact with this man. It is totally forbidden for a non mahram girl to be in contact with a non mahram boy and by staying in touch you will never gain any blessings or peace in your pursuit of marrying this man. You should also repent sincerely and be remorseful in the fact that you had a relationship outside of marriage and have the intention never to repeat such an act.
This is just one of the reasons why relationships outside marriage are forbidden because the girl and the boy get into a relationship resulting from friendship and they create these false dreams together which are hardly ever reality and then when it comes to marriage things don't go their way and then they end up in pain and anguish.
A relationship does not mean that whoever one is having the relationship with is the right person. A relationship is also not a guarantee for marrige. It is just two people committing to each other outside of marriage which is devoid of any blessings and usually always goes wrong resulting in pain and leaving scars behind which take a very long time to heal and get over.
Your first relationship should be with your husband not a non mahram before marriage. You have been naive to give yourself to a man before marriage and if things don't go how you want it to go then you will inevitabley be in a great deal of pain. This is the result of your own actions and in life we must take responsibility for the path we choose to take in life.
The best you can do is to cut off all contact and tell him that you want to go about things in the right way now as you fear Allah. If he is fine with this then you should tell your family and get their advice on the matter and see what they think. After not being in touch with him and getting advice from your parents then you should also make isthikhara. If it is positive and your parents also agree in wanting to meet the family as well as his then his family can come and meet yours but if they still do not agree and then leave it to Allah and whatever is best will happens for you and if that means that you do not end up marrying him then you must accept that this is for the best because a relationship is not a marruage and it may be that if you ever did get maried to him that things went so wrong and you would have ended up having a miserable life or even a divorcee.
So accept whatever happens will happen for the best but realise that you can only do the best you can and the rest is upto Allah but you should put your full hope, faith, trust and reliance in Allah and know that he will do what is best for you inshallah.
In the mean time concentrate on getting closer to Allah for time is not on your side. Repent and ask of Allah for forgiveness. Strive to get closer to him and make the best of every second and ANY second could be your last!
