[Antithesis]

Rube, for what it's worth, here are my thoughts:

1. You and your girlfriend (it seems) asked for a favour from her parents in having you in their house while you have nowhere to stay. If you are staying in their house, no matter how unreasonable you may think their rules are, it's their house.

2. You're saying he's never had the stones to come up to you with any issues, but this seems like an excellent time to clarify your feelings toward you commitment to his daughter with him. It may (or may not, who knows) do some good to explain to him what your views are, perhaps also with his wife there, and have a frank discussion about it. While you may say it's none of their business, really, it is their child so they do have the right to some information.

3. If you can't deal with it, then say, listen, thanks for the offer for a roof over our heads, but we are adults, so I'll get us a hotel room. Not much they can say about that.

4. Like Jiri's saying, your refusal to go over there for dinner on Sundays - no matter how much sense it might make to you - probably doesn't paint you in the best light with her parents. You say you have a PVR, can't you record the odd Eagles game you couldn't watch live (don't they play at 11 usually anyway?) and watch it later?

Like I said, it might not even be worth .02, but that's my reaction to your conundrum.
