<human>: Give me a shortened version of the text

Background: 

So my father is a very traditional Mexican father. He has always been very strict on my sisters and I. My mother left when I was a teen, and although I still talk to her, I can't rely on her for anything financially. My dad has our best interest at heart and he always pushes me to do my best. As such, he always pushes me to work in my field (legal), even while in school. I only have one year left until I graduate. Anyways, my current job is an hour away from my home with traffic but only 10 minutes from my boyfriends home (didn't plan this, he just lives in the city). 

My boyfriend would love for me to sleep at his house a couple nights a week to make it easier on me to go to work and school. However, I don't know how to talk to my dad about this. I know he won't like it. My dad currently pays my car insurance, and helps me out if there is anything major. 

I love my dad, and I understand why he wants things a certain way. But at this time, freeing up almost 2 hours a day/5 days a week could be so helpful to study, sleep, and relax. I want to be able to let my dad know this without him icing me out. I'm ok with him being upset and not understanding, but I couldn't stand him being mad at me forever (especially since he's older).

Thank you so much for your time and consideration to this post.
<bot>: How can I talk to my super strict dad about letting me sleep over at my boyfriend's house? I'm worried he'll cut me off financially, or worse give me the cold shoulder.
