Hi all. I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable here, but I just feel so upset.

I am 22 and my boyfriend is 26. We are both not very sexually experienced, and we have both got some issues- me being very tight down there and him going soft. His parents live abroad, but he is very close to them. His father has come over for a visit today from his country and I met him in the morning. My bf has told me that his parents know everything about him, and he speaks with them about anything. He is often calling and texting them.

A couple of things happened before that made me think that he may be talking about private matters about us with his family. Then, yesterday , he told me that when his father comes he will be sure to ask about his intimate issues to get advice. He told me he would also be willing to speak to his mother about my intimate issues.

I started to get a little uncomfortable, and I outright asked, do you tell your parents we have sex(oral). And he told me that sometimes after we do the deed, he lets them know that we’ve ‘just had fun’. He told me that since he is a virgin his parents in a way are keeping an eye on him in this regard, and he wants to keep them updated, since it’s not that usual that a 26 year old male is a virgin.

I’m not sure what else exactly he has discussed with them and I’m worried he’s shared more intimate things, especially relating to me. I feel upset and quite icky. Sex is something very private to me. When I was speaking to his father I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable knowing what his son has told him.

Am I overreacting here? I definitely do not want to control my boyfriend, but I just feel violated.

I don't think I would be able to continue in the relationship after that. Who the fuck goes bleating to Mummy and Daddy after having sex?? And why aren't Mummy and Daddy telling him that things such as this are best kept private?

Utterly creepy.

I find the OP's situation weird af but...

I had vaginismus when I first became sexually active and yes I told my mum, who supported me going to a gynaecologist.

I was really, really upset about it as a young woman. Am I a weird hypocrite?

usedtobeasizeten · 01/06/2023 19:03

The weirdest thing is you’re wondering if you’re overreacting? Do you imagine for one moment other people do this??

Stickworm · 01/06/2023 19:08

Just realised you were replying to someone’s nickname in here - I thought you were talking about your lady parts 🤣 as you were!

cheddercherry · 01/06/2023 19:35

Beyond how weird this is to begin with just take a second and think, do you want this to be your life? Every private moment shared, every boundary crossed?

He obviously doesn’t see an issue with his closeness to his parents, that’s fine for him, does not mean you have to have your boundaries pushed to fit in with them. Down the line there will be more and more issues that pop up like this.

Redrose28 · 01/06/2023 19:39

Thank you to those of you for the warnings. At the beginning, I did notice some signs, like he wanted to send a picture of us in bed(not naked but with me obviously not wearing a top), until I stopped him. I feel absolutely devastated. He was so good apart from this. It’s his birthday tomorrow, so I am going to stick it through for his sake, then most likely break up.

I don't think you are too tight.

I think it's your vagina sealing itself up in horror at the whole situation.

😂😂😂

ChekhovsMum · 01/06/2023 19:49

Can you imagine the sheer horror of having a baby with this man?
Just read a few of the threads on here about interfering in-laws who are too involved in people’s pregnancies and postpartum life, and run a few worst-case scenarios in your mind.

whitebreadjamsandwich · 01/06/2023 19:53

Regardless of all this weird as fuck stuff, 22 is too young to be having shit sex....set him and his floppy dick free

My anaconda don’t want none unless you got buns hun.

OP, you need lube! Coconut oil is perfect if you don’t need to use condoms.

Grumpy67i8 · 01/06/2023 19:55

Too weird. The longer you stick around, the harder the split. And 22 is way too young to settle.

What the fucking fuck? A photo with your top off?! What next - home video for the amateurs section?

waving at camera

”Hey it’s me! Your boy! Getting laid!” thumbs up, grinning

What was he hoping for? A ‘get in there, my son!’?

Pleeeeeeeease let this be a windup. If it is, you made my night. If it’s not…god, I’m so sorry for you.

Apologies guys, I think I wasn’t fully concentrating when I typed that. What I meant was , we were both in bed, he had a top on whilst I had no top on, but I had a blanket covering my breasts. It was obvious that underneath however, I wasn’t wearing anything

No, no, no and no again. This is beyond weird...

QueSyrahSyrah · 01/06/2023 20:38

Run as fast as you can go OP, I'm sorry.

He's so incredibly inappropriate to discuss any aspect of your personal intimate relationship with his parents, and he sounds strangely enmeshed with them which does not bode well for a future together.

Red flags all over the place.

DragonflyLady · 01/06/2023 20:39

That’s a huge invasion of privacy. Just leave. Leave. Leave.

TheNewSchmoo · 01/06/2023 20:40

Fucking hell. Dump, dump, dump, dump, dump. Dump him. Wrong 'un. Dump him. Quickly.

Greenpolkadot · 01/06/2023 20:40

Bloody hell op..!!
I'd be hanging up the ' closed ' sign

Marmablade · 01/06/2023 20:46

This is awful and no you definitely shouldn't need to put up with it.

I haven't personally experienced the difficulties you speak of but my god the thought of what I was up to being shared with my DPs parents would make me unable to fully relax for sure!

QueSyrahSyrah · 01/06/2023 20:47

SnipSnipMrBurgess · 01/06/2023 18:09

I don't think you are too tight.

Also this. Mine slammed itself shut and put the bolt on just reading the OP, and I don't even know the weirdo.

NineOfNine · 01/06/2023 20:50

This is so weird and creepy.

If I were in this position it’d put me right off the idea of being intimate with the other person ever again.

I’m also really surprised that this isn’t a unanimous YANBU on the voting!

My boyfriend told me he informs his parents when we have sex- AIBU to be upset?
TheNestedIf · 01/06/2023 21:54

That's weird and cringe inducing. I think you should dump him, but not before you've spent a few days letting him think you've arranged a chat for him with your dad / brother / great uncle / milkman (whichever is least appropriate) about his erectile disfunction.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 01/06/2023 23:23

That is so incredibly inappropriate and intrusive it makes me cringe
