You sound reasonable about it all, including the roommates. That bit about flying in for the day is a stunt my mother would pull. No consideration about how it would actually feel for the person who has to do it. I once spent six hours on xmas eve waiting for the freaking train to travel 30 freaking miles. So of course that was my own fault!!!

Hope the bf wakes up and smells the coffee. My one regret in life is letting my ignorant superstitious chauvinistic parents bully me out of "what could have been". Does he really think their decisions are grounded on good values - my parents' were not.
