Am I old-fashioned? (Sleeping arrangements)

[Pretty in Pink]

Your house, your rules. I respect the right of each family to adopt rules that reflect their personal values. If I am a guest in your home then I will abide by those rules. Isn't that part of being a good guest?

 

FWIW, I would allow a mature couple in a long-term relationship to share a bedroom in my home even if they were not married. A friend or relative with an ever-changing roster of significant others...not so much.

I would have no problem with a couple who were living together or in a committed relationship sleeping in the same room at my home. The example I want to set for my children is of loving acceptance and that commitment is more important than a piece of paper.

 

Will I let my friends and relatives bring some random person to my home and gleefully allow them to shack up? No. Will I allow my committed friends and relatives sleep with their partners (straight, gay, bi, trans, whatever) in my home? Yes.

If they aren't married, they spend the night in different rooms. Period.

For us? It would depend upon the situation. Generally? Your house, your rules. Guests shouldn't be pleading their case. If they really want to be together, they can stay in a hotel.

Your house, your rules.

 

I had a good friend and his partner here earlier this summer. They can't be married in their state, but they've been living together for 10 years. It would have been silly to say they could stay, but in different rooms, AFAIC.

 

I had a friend who was to be separated from her husband at her in-laws home because they were married--but not in a church. So, realizing that they left and got a hotel room.

 

It depends on you.
