 Maybe your parents actually have some experience behind them, and are looking at facts you're choosing to ignore because you're afraid of being "alone". Might they have a valid *reason* for not liking him?
For example, why is he your "ex"-boyfriend? If you really put your old relationship under the microscope and thnk about it as an outside would, was it really, truly perfect? You wouldn't change anything?
If it was perfect, why did you break up?
And if it wasn't, then maybe your folks have a point.
Life is long... you'd be surprised how long. If you and your ex are fated to be together and your relationship is that strong, then you'll survive until you find your own home, outside your parents'. Until such time, you pretty much have to abide by their rules; that's the "price" you have to pay for free room and board.
I'd say that sneaking around with your ex isn't fair to anyone, and it's outright lying to your folks. Either come clean and be prepared to back up your position with facts, or move into a place of your own, where you're free to have your own rules.

 perhaps you should try and sit them down and explain to them how you are feeling towards your boyfriend! You shouldnt be afraid to express how you feel! Perhaps both your parents should have a conversation and see if anything good comes out of it!! Good luck!!
