Today, my parents told me at 22 years old, I cannot date the significantly older man I've been seeing for the past 5 months due to their religious beliefs. Too bad I'll have to fall out of love over the weekend since we work together. FML.

I'm sorry, but why do you have to do this exactly? You're 22, a grown adult capable if making your own decisions, who gives a **** what your parents' say or want? It isn't their life, THEIR beliefs should have no bearing on YOUR relationship, if you're happy that's ALL that matters. As long as this guy isn't abusive or a deadbeat, this is really none of their business. My mom has a co-worker who has different beliefs, and skin color, from her husband, when his parents found out they were together and getting married, they disowned him. However, they're still happily married, with kids, and the husband regrets nothing because he's with the woman that he loves who accepts his choices, unlike his parents. If your parents can't accept who you love based on superficial things, they're the ones with the problem. Think about it, they'd rather have you, their own child, sacrifice your happiness for something as shallow as what is basically a difference in opinion between them and this guy. That's low, they need to get their heads out of their ass and join the 21st century.

This. Can't control someone's life because you believe something. It's nice of their concern. Or business.

I don't actually, I have a good relationship with my parents and they are incredibly accepting of who I am and my choices. It's why I get passionate about topics such as this, I cannot fathom parents treating their kid(s) (especially since they're an adult) this way, it's unfair and unacceptable.

You're a grown ass adult. If you want to be with someone then that's your chose not your parents or anyone else's. If you let other people tell you what you should do with your life you are not gonna be happy with your life.
