Today, I had to hide in the closet all morning because my 22-year-old boyfriend didn't want to admit to his parents that he had his girlfriend stay the night. FML

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my boyfriend convinced me to skip school with him. His mom came home early. I had to hide in his closet and wait 6 hours for her to go to her book club meeting. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I snuck into the bathroom together at his house for a quickie. Just as we unzipped our pants, his step-dad knocked on the door. Panicking, I jumped into the closet to hide. When his step-dad came in, he went to put some towels away. In the closet. FML
Today, I learned that my 29-year-old boyfriend won't stay the night at my house because he lives at home with his parents and doesn't want to have "the discussion" with his mom about me. FML
Today, I admitted my fear of small spaces to my boyfriend. His response was to immediately lock me in the hall closet. FML
Today, my boyfriend snuck into my house and hid in my closet. Knowing that I have a phobia of people jumping out of closets, he nonetheless thought it would be funny to see how I'd react. I had a panic attack and was taken to the hospital. FML
Today, I wanted to talk about marriage and our future with my boyfriend of over 10 years. My 30-year-old boyfriend responded by hiding under a blanket and pretending he couldn't hear me. FML
Today, I’m a 28 year-old information security professional living at my parent’s apartment, and I preferred to literally hide under the bed for an hour, instead of facing some unexpected family relatives. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I had a fight about his parents. We're both 23-year-old university students who aren't allowed in his bedroom unless the door is completely open. Nothing he says to his parents will change this. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I got into trouble with his mother for me still being at their house at 1:00 am. I'm 24, he's 22 and we really were studying. FML
Today, I found out my son has been sneaking out of his room at night to see his girlfriend. He's a fully-grown 23-year-old man with a job and his own car. He doesn't need to sneak out. What an idiot. FML

That was terrible of him to do to you, yet at the same time if he's not supposed to have girls spending the night in his room (as he is still living under his parents' roof), you 2 probably should've found a different place or simply not do it... The time will come when you will have your freedom!

1, I hope they dropped by his house and that's why you had to dash in the closet 2, if it's cause he still lives with his parents maybe you should try and upgrade your man, YDI 3, maybe he's really ashamed of actually claiming you too his family, FYL

Pretty stupid if you don't know it's more common than you think to live at home into your 20s or 30s due to living in something called reality. Not being able to afford college, having a kind normal family. Having parents that were so over protective that they ruined all sense of independence and any encouragement to get a job or go to school, maybe sick parents. I pity anyone that gives you a chance with that judgemental attitude. You know what they have? Security. But your high and mighty self would be homeless if your independent plans fell through. Hilarious, right?

That's pretty Damn bad of your boyfriend. If he can't stand up to his parents about you, he isn't the right man for you. I mean, yeah, "their house, their rules", but that has a limit.

No, it doesn't have a limit. It really is their house. If you or anyone else don't agree, move out.

Did you get to meet top cruise?

I hate to break it to ya, but the fact that he's 22 and still doesn't have the balls to stand up to his parents or take responsibility for his actions spells trouble for your future. Either he needs to grow the up or you need to move onto someone who's mature enough to help you build a future together, rather than hiding his problems in a closet.... :/

If he still lives under his parents' roof, he should follow their rules. I understand he's an adult, but his parents are the ones paying for his stuff.

Lol I remember once, I was sleeping over at a friends place. We had sooo much fun that night! then we finally went to sleep.. her mom knocked on the door, she told me to hide in the closet. Except I hid in there for like a half hour or so. Wasn't too bad of an experience. But yeah, I wasn't suppose to be there lol.
