<human>: My boyfriend and I have been dating for 3 years and our best friends (we'll call them John and Anne) have been dating for 5 years. They will soon be getting engaged and we are all 21.

John recently graduated and went off to law school out of state and has been living in a small cottage just off of campus. We (me, my boyfriend, and Anne) haven't gotten a chance to visit yet, but are in the planning phase and hoping to go soon. This is where the issue arises: John's parents will not allow us to all stay in his cottage for the weekend. 

His parent's are deeply religious, and though they have never done anything to cause distrust, they are still not allowing us to stay together.

John's parents are requiring us girls to stay in a hotel so that the couples won't stay together overnight. Our friends, John and Anne, seem to think this is reasonable and that it wont be a big deal since we will all "chip in" for the hotel. My boyfriend and I see this as totally disrespectful to us and to John and Anne. We also see it is crazy that we have to pay for the hotel. If they really want us to stay apart after we drive 9 hours to see their son, why should we have to pay for it?

Reddit, am I overreacting?

Can you provide a brief rundown of the text in within 3 sentences?
