It's crazy to me, that you wouldn't visit your family just because you can't sleep in the same bed for a few days. It's just sleeping. Who cares?

I don't get the big deal at all. You sleep where your host tells you to and you shut up about it.

the first question is, was she upfront about her expectations from the get go? - znufrii Jan 12, 09:06 1
- Loosi said the couple doesn't even know about it -- nm - Guigue Jan 12, 09:07
In a way I'd say it depends if they were invited or if they asked to sleep there - Guigue Jan 12, 09:04
seriously! it's free!! shut the hell up and sneak into the laundry room at night if you must. -- nm - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 09:03 4
- The correct answer is bunk up after the kids go to bed, move back when you are done or before the kids get up. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:05 2
  - I don't know, I think agreeing to it, then sneaking around is worse. -- nm - mafic Jan 12, 09:10 1
    - Oh, I would be open with the sister. It appears her concern is for the kids. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:18
- It's just sleeping. They're not asking you to break up. It's such a...non-issue. -- nm - Amy Jan 12, 09:05
it's insulting and shows a lack of respect for the couple. -- nm - decline Jan 12, 09:02 5
- well, yes. but super religious people might well have issue with co-sleeping of non-marrieds. - IMC loves mandy lane Jan 12, 09:06
- very well put. the message I take away from the situation is "my relationship is better than yours, because I stood up somewhere and said 'I do'." -- nm - mafic Jan 12, 09:06
- Wait a minute...they' -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 09:04 2
  - they're staying free in MY house and asking them to not sleep together is a lack of respect for them? -- nm - Jim Jan 12, 09:05 1
    - imo yes. They are a couple and in a committed relationship. Just because they don't have a stupid piece of paper doesn't make them any less a couple - decline Jan 12, 09:10
If the expectation is "1 in bed, 1 on floor", I'm not going. - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:01 2
- Then you get a hotel. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:04 1
  - If I can't get afford a hotel, i'm not bothering. I also wouldn't be on the couch having sex with my sig.other. - Will Hunting Jan 12, 09:06
in my case it'd be a symptom of a larger problem, and in my immediate family's case, unbelivably hypocritical. - mafic Jan 12, 09:01 2
- Then you are the exception. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:05
- and if it's someone I'm living with, *everybody* already knows we're sleeping together, but you want the pointless charade of separate beds? - mafic Jan 12, 09:03
Yup. I am kind of amazed so many people here have a problem with this. -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 12, 09:00
I'd stay elsewhere. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 12, 09:00
the ex's grandmother has two extra bedrooms in her house - tRuMaN Jan 12, 08:59 2
- I had a GF, when I used to visit her folks, I'd sleep in the living room -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:01 1
  - And there were no children in that house -- nm - con_carne Jan 12, 09:02

- And, I'll go one further--you don't even ask why. My mom's made crazy sleeping arrangements that we later found out were because - Amy Jan 12, 09:01 1
