Hey! I'm 20 years old, at university and have been with my boyfriend for nearly 2 years. My parents are Chinese and old fashioned, but I've grown up in the UK. Since getting together with my boyfriend, my mum has always been constantly reminding me to not spend time with him and to never sleep with him until marriage. When I bring up going on holiday with him or moving in with him, my parents flip out, saying it's against their culture, and that other people will think less of me for sleeping with a guy before marriage.
They always have the last word, and I know they're not normal and I am an adult, but they will hear nothing else. Of course, they cannot physically stop me, but I would never hear the end of it, and I have no other family here in the UK or sibling to talk to if it doesn't end well.
Any ideas on what to do here?
