Controlling Parents at 28

[Anonymous]

My parents want me to stay a virgin and are being very controlling over my love life lately. I am an ADULT!!!

How do I get them to leave me and the guy I am seeing alone?

Other family members (I won’t say who) are telling me they don’t want me being intimate with my partner, either.
And I know when we meet in-person, my parents won’t let my partner and I out of their sight.

I am disabled and cannot drive, and there are no transportation options in our area that I can afford to use. My only option is to have my parents drive me to see this man, which they prefer, but I DO NOT. It is frustrating, and a rather embarrassing predicament.

I’ve never had s*x before, and honestly it will be quite a few more months before the guy and I meet. We are planning it all out right now. I’d happily oblige and be intimate with him if he wants. But I don’t think he will. But my parents are against it. We are both two consenting adults, for crying out loud!

PS: I know for a fact that no one else my age has this issue. And it is strange.

For clarity, due to having a low income and finances, I still live with my parents. I am 28. The guy I am dating is in his 30s.

My heart goes out to you. Ask your social worker or other healthcare provider for resources that can assist you with transportation beyond that offered by your parents. Also ask for resources to help you negotiate a legal privacy agreement between you and your parents. If they won't agree to that, find resources to help you find independent living.
