My boyfriend wanted to go on a 3-day trip with his youth group (girls and guys mixed) for Spring Break. I encouraged him to go and told him it would be fun. I, ofc, don't go to his youth group, so I'm not going on the trip, which is fine.
His parents could care less and let him go with no problems. HOWEVER, this made me mad (although I didn't let it show to my bf). Let me explain:
Last summer, my bf invited me to go on a day trip (no overnight stuff like on the trip he's taking now) to the beach with this same youth group. I was a bit hesitant but gave in and decided to go. AS SOON as his parents heard I was going, his dad butted in and decided to go too as a chaperon. He was glued to our hips the WHOLE TIME and kept saying things like "no hugging, no PDA (public display of affection)" to the group while LOOKING RIGHT AT US...to put it lightly, that day was HORRIBLE and we didn't have any fun.
Now, we're not bad kids. We've been together for almost 3 years, follow all his parents' rules, no matter how crazy we think they are. And when we want to go somewhere together, they are all over it and either don't let him go when I'm going or go as a "chaperon" either stay glued to us the whole time or try to keep us apart (when I went to the beach with him and the group, his dad made me ride the girls' bus even though I didn't know ANYONE....awkward). But when he wants to go with all these guys and girls on a 3-day trip with swimming and sleeping together at hotels, they don't give a rats ass....
Just needed to vent. I'm pissed as hell.
But any insight/advice is welcome.
