How to go visit long distance bf with strict parents
For context I am a college student (17F) and my boyfriend (18M) and I have been together for a few months. My parents are immigrants(might be important). We met at school, but now that the semester ended we’re doing long distance. He lives about 3 hours away from me.
My parents know about him, have met him, like him, and even say hi to him on FaceTime when we talk. They know his family wants to meet me too. I’ve been really open with them about the relationship and they have generally trusted me while I’m away at college.
But for some reason, when it comes to visiting him for a weekend, it’s an absolute no. It’s not really a money issue either, and I’d be staying with his family. I’m struggling to understand why they trust me living away at school but not visiting someone they already know and approve of. I miss him a lot, and 3 hours feels so close, and I can’t even give my bf a good reason for them saying no bc it doesn’t seem like there’s a good reason. My parents are also talking about how they don’t want the family hosting me either, even though they are offering and want me there. I’m so confused and upset and I don’t know what to do or how to convince them, tears haven’t worked. What do I do?
