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!

Were there at least snacks in the closet?

Oh F that. He's a tool for asking you to hide, but at the same time, have some self respect!

Did you come out a lesbian?

I wouldn't be staying there until he can be a man about it.

Both of my oldest sons lived at home, the oldest moved out at 22, the younger at 24. My wife and I set the rules of no overnight "guests" and both boys accepted that. We weren't trying to control them or be prudes but they understood that with a younger sister and 2 younger brothers that we were not wanted the younger kids exposed to that. And yes they did pay "rent" but it was only what they could afford each month just to help with bills.

Did you perhaps also stop sleeping in the same bedroom as your wife so that your kids weren't exposed to "THAT" ? You shouldn't raise your kids in the ignorance (and later shame) of sex ; that's how they were made ! You can go with metaphorical explanations though, but sleeping with your wife while forbidding your oldest sons to have people over seems quite hypocritical...

#67 - Yeah. I think #64 means they prefer not to have their older kids bringing home numerous partners because they want to instill some morales in the younger ones, in a way.

@67: There is a huge difference between sleeping with the one you are married to for quite some time and a boy (which you essentially still are at 20-ish) bringing home a slur of sexual partners. And even if they were in a steady relationship, discretion can still be a factor. Even the married parents shouldn't be banging each other on the kitchen table if one of the young ones is sitting in the next room...

I am just baffled at the amount of perfectly reasonable comments that got downvoted... Really ? How uptight are you people ? Sure, "their house their rules", but has it occurred to you that OP's boyfriend has no means of paying for his own place (ie long studies like med school, etc) ? As long as it's done discreetly and politely, I don't think sex should be prohibited to young adults who still live with their parents, it's a natural and healthy activity !

Their house, their rules. Doesn't matter if he is 14 or 40. It's also possible that OPs boyfriend is just a baby-man and OP is simply realizing it a bit to late.

You make a perfectly reasonable case, yet it still doesn't negate the 'their house, their rules' rule...

You hit the nail on the head. My bf is going into Med school and he still lives at home to get some college in before we take on real world bills like housing and etc. I'm going to college as well and still live with my parent. 22 and trying to get a degree. We both want to move out on our own when we feel ready and our parents agree...his just don't agree with premarital sex

I remember being 22 and still pretending that my boyfriend had 'just arrived in the morning' instead of having stayed the night when my parents visited. It's funny the hold parent's judgement can have over people. Hopefully he'll feel more comfortable living according to his own values soon.

There's a red flag right there! He should be proud to have you over not afraid!

Yet if OP is still with him, it's a big YDI.

I deserve it then. :U
