Talk to your parents and tell them you're an adult and you can do whatever you want, without having them tell you what to do, how to do it etc.
if they don't like it, then thats their problem. when you're an adult, you live your OWN INDEPENDENT life.. yeah sure your parents are still a part of your life, but they don't have a say in what you can do anymore.
ask them, "did your parents still control you when you were 24?"
if you don't have the courage to say those things, then say you want to improve your lifestyle by making your own independent choices, and you feel that your relationship with this guy is a decision that YOU need to make, not them.
