Boyfriend broke up with me because of curfew, is that fair? (Page 2)

Question

So basically, I hit rock bottom last summer when I lost a good job in corporate. I moved out of my parents house at 20, finished college at 21, and started working that very next month for a career I had interned with. I did all of that just to end up back home at 24. Now, I'm 25 and started dating an amazing guy. My parents have this beautiful thing called a "curfew", which leaves me with little to no time to spend with my boyfriend. I currently work as a receptionist for a nonprofit organization and the money is crap. I have benefits, 401K and paid vacation, but the salary is such crap that I find that I cannot afford to live on my own with a $600 a week salary in my state which the avarage one-bedroom is $1200. I also owe student loans and paying for my car. I also pay for my room at home (which I have no issues with) since I'm an adult. I just hate that I'm treated like a child. 
My boyfriend is 28 years old, has a decent job and lives on his own. He offered me to live with him but I shot him down as I felt it was too soon to move in with someone. My parents call me when I'm out always, they want to know what we're doing at all times and they hate it if I say that I'm staying the night. As a matter or fact, my dad has banned me from staying the night with my boyfriend. I have to be home every night at 11pm. He'd take me out at 5pm on a Sunday and my mother is blasting my phone by 10 pm giving me the hour warning. My boyfriend is sick of it. He told me that it's hard to have a relationship with a "child" that I need to do something about my parents being overly protective. Mind you, I have a brother who's 19 and he's allowed at friends house whenever. I really love my boyfriend, but he's said that he's had enough. I'm hurt. I told my parents and both of them told me that he's not a good guy if he'd break up with me because of that and to focus on my career. I want to believe them but they're part of the problem. I can't have a normal dating/social life.
