Weirded out by their stalker behavior, the woman went online to vent and share the heated text exchange that followed in a series of screenshots
OP begins her post by telling the community that she set (or at least thought she set) a healthy boundary with her parents: they were no longer going to decide who she dates or how she dates. Despite this, and the fact that OP is 24 and moved out, her parents showed up on her first date with a guy she’s been friends with for years.
According to OP, her parents at first wanted to chaperone, but when she told them no, they tracked the couple, waited outside the location of the date, and then demanded OP and her love interest speak with them. The pair declined the stalking parents, but the woman turned to Reddit to share the heated text exchange she had with them afterwards.
