I’m 20F, he’s 25M. We met in January and have been dating since last month. He’s already met my parents - they love him, and he hangs out at our house all the time. Literally no one has any issues with him, he’s super welcome here. I invited him to sleep over for a few days this week just for fun, but he said he’s not comfortable with it - apparently it feels too “intimate” for him? Like, he’s got this thing about doing private stuff with other people around. I just want him to relax a bit. We’re all adults here, and everyone knows people have private lives. How can I help him feel more okay with it?
Agree on this. But if the boyfriend already feels uncomfortable staying at her parents house for just a meal, sleeping and having a shit, then something more is going on with him.
People who downvote and don’t comment why they disagree are cowards in my book, btw.
Bad take
It’s normal to not want to hang out with your partners parents.
They’re not dating mommy and daddy, mommy and daddy shouldn’t be a part of your romantic relationships.
I didn’t downvote but I think the “something more is going on with him” has a nefarious tone and seems unwarranted for something as innocuous as not wanting to share a bed with a new partner inside her parents’ home.
