For a bit of context, we are both 26, in our first relationship, and we met on a hinge in June 2022; we made things official in August, and things are going great for us.
Two months ago, my boyfriend and I began having sleepovers at his home; he lives alone and bought his home a year ago with help from his parents.
We have had a series of sleepovers which began during the holiday season last year, and since then, it has been common for me to sleep over on the weekend, and we usually do groceries together, watch tv and so forth.
With that being said, both of his parents aren't too happy about that; lol his dad demanded that he slept on the couch when I stayed over at my boyfriend's home over the holiday season, so he assured him he would do so while his mom knows that we are sleeping together but sure doesn't want him having me over every weekend or so.
My boyfriend now hides the fact I'm at his home every other weekend and seems to live two separate lives; for example, his parents demand he attends church on the weekends, so I usually stay home and wait for him to come back and hour late, as we can't be seen together on weekends, which means no family dinners or socializing with his family in general.
So now I'm confused as we are both 26, and so forth, so we are moving forward in exploring things safely, and the fact his parents are thinking about us doing stuff is a bit weird.
My boyfriend's parents are traditional catholic in their 70s, and he is adopted internationally as a baby, so I know there are many complexities in this discourse.
Do parents usually think about this stuff?
Thanks!
