Well, even if that's true, I'm still stuck in a long term relationship I can't escape. Plus, my parents are catholics and don't want me to have pre-marital sex anyhow, yeah and I'm tired of hearing their excuses for why they don't think I can move out.
It is true.
Why are you stuck in a ltr you can't escape? That seems very odd to me. If you don't want to be in said relationship, end the relationship. Even marriages with children often end in divorce. You simply have to be decisive and say "This relationship isn't for me, I'm done with it and moving on with my life."
Whatever your parents religious beliefs are have nothing to do with your own beliefs & values. Sure, parents do their best to influence their children with good morals and ethics and all that, but you are not obligated to believe in their particular religious beliefs nor how they dictate your sex life. Your sex life, or lack of, is none of anyone's business but you and your partners. Pretty simple. If you don't believe in those particular religious beliefs and are otherwise morally/ethically/whatever a-okay with premarital sex, then by all means go ahead and do whatever you wish. It's none of your parents business if you're having sex or not having sex. You'd be under no obligation to tell them, even if they asked. It's BIZARRE that parents think it's their business at all what their adult children do, or don't do, in their sex lives. Their bodies are their bodies, yours is yours. Pretty simple, IMO.
I have no idea why they're opposed to you moving out so can't really comment on that. Sometimes, though, parents are better judges of our abilities than we are and they may truly be looking out for your best interests by having you live with them. Now, if it's solely that they wish to prevent you from having premarital sex, well that's an entirely different type of manipulation and control & if you have the financial means as well as ability to completely care for yourself on your own, by all means, just go rent a place and pack your belongings.
