22 and Controlled.

Alexis

i’m a 22 y/o female whose only ever brought one guy home to my parents(my bf who i’ve been on and off with for 5 years) My parents love my boyfriend, they love having him around. My boyfriend means so much to me but because my parents are so strict about things we never have alone time. I don’t just mean sex. We literally cannot have deep conversations because we constantly have to be around my parents. I’m “allowed” to go to his place but not allowed to sleepover because it’s considered disrespectful. He can sleepover but he has to sleep in the guest bedroom. Because of the constant surveillance it’s putting a toll on our relationship, and we act like friends more than bf/gf. We cannot show any affection with each other. Life together just seems so routinely now because we can only do so much, go out to eat (which is the only time we’re ever alone) then come back to my house and literally hangout with my parents. My man is nothing but patient and sweet but this is killing me. My parents are amazing and give me free will and respect me with everything else but this. I have been nothing but respectful in front of them, I try not to let them know too much of my relationship business because apparently it affects them so much too as if they’re the ones dating my bf it’s weird. I just don’t know what other option is there but move out or put up with it.
