I'm 19 and in college. My parents still don't let me see my boyfriend without one of my little sisters., What do I do? Options

As I stated above I'm 19 years old and in college, away at college as a matter a fact. I'm attending Duke now and about to finish my first semester. My boyfriend and I have been together for a year and a half now, on and off. We didn't try the long distance thing at first, but ended up going back to each other and were very happy and excited about spending time together during Thanksgiving break.

My parents are very traditional Hispanic parents and my boyfriend is Caucasian so it doesn't really help any there. My mother hates him because they've caught me lying to see him (like saying I was going to work, when I was really going to spend the day with him for his birthday). My father doesn't seem to hate him, just dislikes him because he's a boy and well "What do all guys want from girls?".

So as a result of this, they make sure that I have to take one of my little sisters on dates with me. One of them is 9 and the other 17. Of course, I mind and he minds that this has to happen, but when I take my 17 year old sister we usually drop her off with a friend or her boyfriend so we can have some alone time. But, this Thanksgiving break that didn't go as planned and she had to stay with us through the entire date. We were both very frustrated and wanted to just spend some one on one time together after enduring the long distance, but that wasn't possible. He fought through it and granted me the promise of going to a quincenera with me and my family. I was so excited that they were finally going to be able to get to know him and see a good side of him. But, of course, my mom denied him the opportunity of coming and said that she didn't want me bringing any boyfriend to family events unless I'm going to marry them.

When I told him this that was it for him. He couldn't handle being treated like this. Countless times he tried to tell me that the best thing to do was to leave my house and that I was welcome to stay with him and his family, but I have to think of my college education, which my parents are helping me with the very little that they can and the rest I'm paying with scholarships. My mother didn't even want me to leave Houston for college, but I went to Duke anyway, but that's another problem.

So what should I do? My boyfriend is tired of dealing with my parents after a year and a half, but we love each other very much. I know that the distance may tear us apart, but I'd prefer that to happen in due time and not let my parents tear us apart.

I have and they insist that if I don't like their rules that I can just leave their house. Over Thanksgiving break I was ready to walk out of my house, but before I did my Dad asked to speak to me and he talked to me about the consequences of my actions and how he was going to help me pay for school next year, but if I leave that he won't do that anymore... As of now my boyfriend and I broke up over break because of all the conflict with my parents, but I don't want to give up and have convinced him to talk to my parents with me and express how much we care about each other. Will that work? What if it doesn't? We really love each other and hate that this is still tearing us apart.

Well if you guys love each other like you say you do, then maybe you should get married, or at least pretend to be engaged, something along that line so that your parents accept it, since I was reading in your first post that he would only be accepted if he married into the family.

I mean if you pretend to be engaged how are they going to know?

Since your siblings have to supervise you, maybe you or your boyfriend should try paying one of them to pretend to be watching and go do something on their own while you two enjoy yourselves.
