To end this relationship

I've been seeing someone for about a year. He lives with his parents which is fine but I never get invited round, and I live with my sister. Meaning if we want time alone we have to go out, and I'm finding it draining after a long day at work I just want to relax sometimes, not go out.
His parents seem a bit controlling and he has to have a family night one night a week.. again which I'm not invited to.
I put a photo of us on Facebook and he wouldn't accept the tag. Said it would upset his ex (this was about 3 months into the relationship)
I'm just feeling as nice as it is, it's not developing. Aibu to end this seen as otherwise he's a lovely guy?

Seems like he is not ready to go to the next stage of your relationship either because of ex or controlling parents.

If he wants that then that's his look out. You seem ready for a relationship but this seems like a lot of effort and a bit one sided.

I'd move on if I were you xxxx

How old are you both? Have you talked about living together in the future? Are his long term plans to stay at his parent’s house?

If his parents seem controlling and are still expecting him to be at weekly family nights, there is zero chance of you having any alone time if you go there. But odd that you’re never invited at any other time. Do they actually know you’re in a relationship? Are they not keen to spend some time with you and find out who their son is dating?

And what’s the situation with the ex girlfriend now? Is he open about being with you now? Could it be that he was just trying to be really kind to an ex who was struggling with the break up?

He wouldn't accept the tag 3 months into the relationship, so 9 months ago, is that right?

As far as him living with his parents, you live with your sister, so it's 6 of one, really.

You can end a relationship for any reason you want. Or no reason.
