My girlfriend and I have been together for a year. Things are great, shes thoughtful, agreeable, and never complains. We haven't experienced any major relationship problems, save one that I have been keeping to myself.

Her parents are too involved in her life. I understand they're concerned with her safety. She's not *allowed* to stay out late at night, sometimes they get irrationally upset and angry at her when she does. As a result, we've never spent a whole night together and that bothers me. While this isn't a big problem now, it is significant to me as I think it limits our relationship and will become a problem later on. With her older siblings [30s] in similar positions, I don't think there's a good chances our situation will improve over time. Moreover I have the feeling her parent's do not like me. They've never made the effort to get to know me or even communicate me. I feel like they've already decided they wouldn't like me too much.

Perhaps this second part deserves its own post but I feel its worth mentioning here. I discovered an excellent deal on a multi city flight. My ex-girlfriend who I am in amicable terms with resides in one of these cities. We agreed to remain friends when we separated two years ago and I would like to hold up my end of the deal and catch up over a meal. I told my GF about this and she is not happy about it. She said I could meet with her but I know she's not fine with it. She would be fine with it if she came along with me, but her parents would never allow her to travel. She already knows every point her parents would bring up if she tried to discuss the topic with them. I went ahead and booked my ticket, I dont think its fair that her parent's irrational concerns affect me. I decided I wont meet my Ex but I will tell her I'll be in town and my situation. I question my future with this otherwise great girl who I can't spend extended with or travel with.

Girlfriend's parents are too controlling of her activities and I want to catch up with her. I'm worried about it long term.

GF's parents are too controlling of her activities. I need to know if I should confront her parents and if so how
