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, 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 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, 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 went to my boyfriend's house to meet his parents. After hundreds 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, 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.
