Long distance relationship Advice needed!?

So I need some advice, My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 1/2 years and we go to colleges on different sides of the country. We only get to see each other over vacations because we live in the same city. My problem is that his parents are super controlling and have rules like we are only allowed to see each other for 4 hours a day max, he has a cerfew of 11pm, and he isn't allowed to stay over ever, and im just getting frustrated. We are 20 and 21 and I want to be able to go out and not be tied down by his parents rules. For example: I was just thinking about New Years and I mentioned going to my friends party where we would have to spend the night so as not to have to drive back at 1am and the answer is always ';you know i can't'; .. Im getting so annoyed with the situation and I need some advice for what to do!? (p.s. i have tried talking to his parents and no luck.. i feel like their stupid rules are breaking us apart and they don't care)Long distance relationship Advice needed!?
Unfortunately, anything you say to his parents will mean nothing. This is between you and him, and him and his parents. I would suggest explaining it to him. Just tell him that he's a grown man, and these rules are ridiculous. He needs to stick up to his parents. If for nothing else but the 4 hour max thing. Maybe the curfew is a courtesy to his parents, which I might could understand, but the 4 hour max is just too controlling. The only thing you can do is talk to your boyfriend. If you try to talk to his parents, it will probably do more harm than good. I would just tell him that you guys only get to see each other so often, and the rules are really hurting your relationship. It's hard enough to be in a long distance relationship, let alone have those kind of restrictions on the rare occasion you do get to see each other. Honestly, it's your boyfriend's place to put this right, and he needs to. He needs to grow up just a little bit and talk to his parents because that is just ridiculous. I would tell you try and move on, but I'm sure after over 2 years it's not that easy. Me and my fiance had some problems with this when we originally got together. I just told him if he wanted our relationship to progress, then something had to give. So he broke away from his parents. It's not his parents' decision if he can stay at your house. It's his. He has every right to say 'I'm not going to be home tonight, don't wait up.'Long distance relationship Advice needed!?
that is absolutely ridiculous. he needs to tell his parents that he is not a child anymore and not allow them to put such rules on him. im 20 and if my parents did that when i came home from college, i would tell them i was not going to come home until they could acknowledge that i am not a child.
omfg i feel so bad for you...you guys are 20 and 21...adults!! you should be able to do what you want. confront him but not harshly...tell him how you feel.
you are both adults. If you've talked to him about it and you've talked to parents about it...you are obviously not okay with the situation at hand. A relationship needs time when you are physically around each other, and someone here needs to get a hold of their balls and realize they arent 16 anymore.





It's not the parents rules, its why is he still abiding by them? He doesn't live with them anymore. maybe you need to see other people for a while, see what happens then.
