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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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, my boyfriend told me that we wouldn't move in together as we had planned to do for a long time. His mother forbade it. He is 27. FML
Today, my boyfriend couldn't go on a date with me because his mom said no. He's 23. FML
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
Today, during an argument between me and my boyfriend, he called for his mom. She came up and told us both off and told us to stop screaming, as if we were kids. We are both well over 30. FML
Today, I went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. After hundreds of passive-aggressive comments, my boyfriend and I went into the kitchen. I started complaining to him about how his parents were horrible and mean. Little did I know, his parents had followed us in and were right behind me. FML
Today, my boyfriend's parents decided that I was untrustworthy and that if they ever saw him with me he'd be heavily punished. They're travelling hundreds of miles just to make sure he stays in the house and doesn't talk to me. FML
Today, I was invited by my boyfriend's parents for dinner at their house. The dinner went well I thought, until I was getting ready to leave. Before I could make it out the front door, I could hear them discussing their disappointment that their son would ever consider someone like me. FML
Today, I changed all my plans, after months of him begging me to, so I could go to the same university as my long-term boyfriend. After I sent in my deposit, he told me we couldn't live together in college because I was "invading his space." FML

Their house, their rules.

Oh no! His parents want you to respect their home and their rules /values! It's awful when parents don't want their university student kids to risk getting pregnant in their own homes

Regardless of whether it's "Their house, their rules", this doesn't bode well for the long term. If he has super-religious parents who are always going to be up in his business, and he's not going to stand up to them, you may as well get out now, because they will always have their nose up your ass for every single thing you do.

I’m willing to bet his parents are not super religious they just don’t want their son ******* in their house they are 23 years old they need to move into their own apartment

I’m 27 and my parents still do that when I’m at their house. It’s a religious thing

If you want to fight about something out of his control, about something that doesn't belong to him(not his house) you've (or maybe your boyfriend) got bigger problems than a son respecting his parents' wishes.

I’m 25 and engaged and my mum is still not comfortable with us sharing a bed until we’re married. It’s frustrating however I respect my mum enough to follow her rules in her house. If you’re too immature to respect his parents you’re too immature for sex

Their house their rules. If not their house, and it is your dorm or apartment or whatever, the dorm or your rules. Suck it up buttercups.

Here's an idea - you want privacy and the ability to be in the same room together all the time? Rent a hotel stay together there. Husband's parents were the same so we started staying in hotels once we were that age. Of course we were also married at that point to get them off our back, so it didn't matter at that point. I would say though, that 23 is old enough to have some financial responsibility and the ability to rent a hotel room.

Your boyfriend’s parents are WRONG. They do have the right to ask you not to have sex in their house nor to sleep in the same room. But denying you any privacy is completely wrong. And show of much they don’t trust their son or you. Or how insecure they are. Anyway a really shirt situation.
