AIBU?

To think this is a bit disrespectful?

If an adult child brings their SO to visit their old family home, and in full view of their parents and siblings, start to kiss passionately? It was so uncomfortable I had to leave the room.

That's grim. Totally inappropriate in front of anyone.

PDAs are gross anyway.
Peck on the lips, holding hands etc is fine
Full on make out session? Unnecessary.

Thank god I'm not alone in thinking this! I could see how uncomfortable others looked but no one else left the room, so I thought maybe I was overreacting.

Are you a sibling? Who initiated the snogging?

Yes I am a sibling. It was my sibling who initiated the kissing with their SO. I honestly feel a bit nauseous.

I'd be telling your sibling to grow up.

Urgh. They need to grow up or are they actually 15?

I wouldn't say it was 'disrespectful'. Childish and embarrassing perhaps but not sure how it indicates lack of respect.

I just left the room, @islockdownoveryet. I'm not very good with social situations either so I didn't know if I was overreacting

Haha how cringey . I would have told them loudly to stop it ! And probably laughed at them.

I called it disrespectful because surely if you enter your parents' home, you should act accordingly? I wouldn't sleep with someone whilst staying in my parents' house, and I wouldn't kiss them in front of everyone either. But I am a prude Grin

If its your sibling, whats stopping you saying "FGS, pack it in you two!"

Nothing worse.

Well done for not throwing something at them.

I'd have had to shout 'Get a room!!' at the very least!!
