It's up to your ex to talk to them - in my opinion he should learn to stand up for himself a bit more, if he's at university then his personal life should be nothing to do with his parents. I'm sure they're just looking out for him and are worried he'll get hurt, but you interfering will only make them more firm in their view.

do you not have any male friends atthe same university he could stay with instead? or could they drive him down to visit you for the day?

If neither of those options work, simply explain you will not be having sex and are just friends. despite whatever happens :P

Oops, I've clearly lost my skim reading skills over the holidays ... :cool:

Still, the rest of what I said still stands - he should talk to them. However, if he's still at home, ultimately he'll have to respect his parents' decision.

OP

they didn't like me so much, apparently i didnt socialise with the rest of the family enough (begs the question who was i going out with, them or my ex), so ringing them probably wouldnt help matters

anyways he's said to them we r just friends no f-ing etc but i dont think they trust him anymore

i do have male friends but they are not people he knows, and i think hes already told them that he would be in my room and me with a friend anyways, i tink again they just dont trust him

its really getting me down cos i really want to see him, i really miss hanging out with him

standing up for himself more tends to backfire with his parents, they really still live in like the 1800s (for instance whenever he stayed at my house his mum rang to chek he would be sleeping in a separate room, even tho he never did lol)

my parents are like his, and i think it might help if you talked to them. maybe you can go and visit him as well you could always split the train fare if its too expensive.

OP

yeh i dont think the cost is the issue but he knwos id happily split the train fare with him, thing is i want him to come here so he can see what its like and so we can have a good time and go out - i know if i went home id only see him like one day and we wouldnt be able to go out or have half as much fun with his parents around as we would have if he came here

ill talk to him when he comes on msn though and say would it help if i rang them

what do you think i should say if i did?
