I live with my parents and my younger sister. This year, due to my exams which contribute to me going to university, my whole family has been on edge.
For most of my life, I wasn’t really allowed to go out more than a few times a month but when I got a boyfriend this year, I obviously wanted to see him more. It is important to note that I met him at my job. As I hadn’t told my parents about him, it was getting hard trying to sneak out to see each other.
So, even though I don’t trust them, I told them about him. It all went wrong after that. Even though they promised to be supportive of the relationship and I still made plenty of time for my studies, my mother started calling me names and limiting my time with him from a couple of days a week to 1-2 hours around our neighborhood.
At that time we had been together 2 months. My bf didn’t like the idea of it but he didn’t want to anger my parents so he was willing to commit to those hours but I wasn’t, so I started sneaking out. Eventually, my parents found out and again, started calling me names such as being a woman of the night and using the term ‘first come first served’ because he is my first boyfriend.
They threatened that if I kept seeing him I would have to move out. To which I did, and they didn’t like it as a week later they started knocking on my boyfriend’s door and calling his workplace and causing trouble for him and myself. Because of that, I came back home, just so that they would stop harassing him, and they made me quit my job as well.
Now, I don’t have money for any of my little luxuries or even to go out, and when I ask them for money they say they don’t have any, but yesterday they came back from a five day holiday in Spain.
I am still together with my boyfriend, 4 months later, but I am considering moving and cutting any form of contact with them. My sister is not on my side and thinks I am just acting out and it got me thinking. AITA for never wanting to see them again?
