How do I convince my parents to let my boyfriend come along on our trip back to Hong Kong?

My parents have been talking about possibly going to Hong Kong to visit our relatives, this will be my second time ever being there. I want to ask if my boyfriend can come along, but I have no idea how to or how to convince them to let. I think my parents do trust him to a point, they allow him to sleep over (separate rooms) quite a lot and I’ve been allowed to sleep over at his place quite a lot as well. However, my parents ARE quite strict at the same time and rather traditional. The main problem I foresee is that when going to Hong Kong, there is very little living space and we might be living with our relatives. He’d obviously pay for his ticket.

Answer #1

well it seems like your parents are already cool with him. So unless it is strictly family or it’s a financial issue… I don’t see how they would say no. So just ask.

Answer #2

It’s more that if we go, it’d be for one or two months and I’m not too sure they are going to be great with that. Also, therei sn’t much living space there :/ all our relatives are squished into tiny apartments.

Answer #3

*isn’t

Answer #4

Well you could tell them you’d pay so you two could stay in a hotel or something? If there’s not enough space then I really don’t see them saying yes tbh…Or just tell them that he’s super responsible and such and if you two sleep in the same bed there won’t be any problems. Just basically say nice things about him until they say yes lol.
