Is it normal to hide a relationship from your parents when you're 21?

Ok so I've been wondering is my relationship issues normal? I've been seeing this guy secretly for probably about the past year if not longer. We've known each other 3 years prior to getting together. One of the main problems is my guy's father is my step dad's boss. My stepdad has ran his mouth about my personal business to everyone he works with. So now guy's father doesn't want "guy" and I to even associate. Keep in mind both sides of the parents do not know about me and guy. So this is where it gets tricky, "guy" and I live together but once again we're lying to our parents. The thing is he's 22 and I'm 21 and live in my own place and pay our own bills. With no help from either side of parents. Personally, I really don't care if my parents know it's just "guy" doesn't want his parents to know because of the headache of being harrassed. I dont know what to do...can anybody give me some type of advice?

    I know how you feel, my ex girlfriend was 24 years old and we were together for 3 years and she never told her parents. The way i see it is if youre not important enough than dont be with that person. If youre not worth the drama, hes not worth your love

    Don't be afraid of your love for him. Explain your feelings. Maybe your parents can learn to set aside their immature reasonings? You won't know until you admit it and if they don't approve then who needs them?

    Tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may.
