Is it unreasonable for me (15) to have my bf (16) to stay the night?

Is it unreasonable for me (15) to have my bf (16) to stay the night in the other room? My parents are saying it's inappropriate and I'm underage
which I do know however how is sleeping in separate rooms going to do anything which is against the law (UK consent age btw).

One of the reasons they said was because they don't feel comfortable having a "young man" sleeping in their household. I've been with my bf for over a year and a half and I trust him very much and he has always been very kind to me and my family. My parents have even called me immature because I would like my bf of the opposite gender to stay around for the night (bare in mind I am bisexual and have always had cisgender girls stay the night).

Me and my bf have no sexual intention and we want to keep it that way until we are both of legal age and feel we are ready. There was also one time where my bf came over and we usually have the door about half open and we were just laying in bed watching youtube and he fell asleep and no one seems to be bothered that we're laying in bed watching youtube. So what's the difference with us sleeping in different rooms with our doors shut.

I just feel like my parents are unable to trust me. I haven't done anything wrong to show them that I can't be trusted with this particular situation and they seem to think I am immature about it. What's so wrong about having the comfort and happiness of your significant other for one night? How come a lot of my friends who are the same age as me and in relationships have parents who let their significant others stay the night (and even sleep in the same room). I understand people are going to say we are "teenagers" but not everyone may have sexual desires at our age.

And why do parents always think that sleepovers are always going to lead into s3x. I don't understand.

I'm a guy but if were 15/16 and my parents cough blocked me like that I'd wanna move out lol

It's not just about the sleepover, they're not gonna trust any alone time you have together.

Then move out. See how you get along at 15/16 🙂

You say that as if economic dependence means teens would never wish they could live away from home.

To want to move out because of this is beyond immature and reflects on how you will be as an adult.

Are you for real haha. Adults definitely would move out if their current living arrangements prevented them from sharing intimacy with their partner.

Intimacy at 15?

And the OP claims to not want intimacy, but just to have him in a separate room. Which is pointless imo as u'll both be asleep to know ur there lol

Yes, loads of of people do and have done sexual things at 15, not strange at all.


I agree with this tbh. But I guess she wants to see him in the morning and have breakfast, cuddle and such.

While I have to admit that many people have done sexual things at 15, that doesn't make it okay. It's still illegal and they're still too young to approach sex in a mature way. If I was a parent of a 15-year-old who wanted their significant other to sleep in their bed under my roof, I would say hellll no.

That said I'd be okay with them sleeping in separate rooms under my roof. It's a shame OP's parents don't seem to trust her any further than they could throw her.

I didn’t say it was OK, just responding to Zain’s comment that implied disbelief at 15 year olds being intimate.


Yeah, that’s weird. Maybe they think he’ll sneak into her room at night?
