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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

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

Unless their statement is "we are paying the bills" the parents can do whatever they want (:

So hang out somewhere else. They have a right to do this, and if his parents wont change, he cant help it. It's not worth fighting with him over. You are 23, grow up and get over it. When my now husband and I were dating (in our 30's) and I took him to meet my parent's, we weren't allowed to sleep in the same room because we weren't married. Did we throw a fit about it? No. We respected my mother's rule... because we were mature adults. If this is the worst problem in your relationship things are good. Don't blow a good thing over something so petty.

Why are you still in college? Get a job. And your own place to live

Most degrees that are actually worth getting usually take more than 4 years to earn. I’m a civil engineer, the most dedicated of my peers could pull it off in 5 years, the average was 6 years if you had any sort of life or job outside of school.

What exactly are you fighting about? Since you have no right to demand they change their rules there is nothing to fight about. Suck it up. Don’t be the girlfriend who bitches to him about his parents. Doesn’t make for good long term plans.

Came here to say this. What's there to fight about? It's not like he decided that.

It’s still their house if you and your bf don’t like the rules maybe it’s time for him to get his own place.

For all the rent he is paying, he should get privacy. How much is he paying? Oh...

find what type of music they don't like and play (or sing) it constantly while in his room till "they" ask you to close the door
