Now all of a sudden my parents think we're having sex and that I dont need him. they told us we couldnt see each other anymore. What do I do? I really love him and I cant just let go like this.

I know it sounds like they don't know what they're talking about, but they only want what's best for you. Looking back, I'm glad I listened to my mom, or I wouldn't be with the amazing guy that I'm with now (we've been together for 4 years). Things happen in strange and confusing ways... just relax, and go with the flow.

 Parents can sometimes lack understanding. Try to explain it to them, but without anger, without judgment on their decision. When dealing with anyone you want to understand your side. You have to do so without any wining or anger. Put yourself in the position of an adult. Meaning, handling their objections with your answer. Such as:
I understand how you feel, I respect your thoughts, and I feel as if you lack trust in my ability to make good choices by ________________________________.
Don't just attack. Do that, and there's no way you'll get your point across. Do it in a mature manner, you may get them to think.
