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

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

Get your own house! Their house, their rules.

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.
