Am I rude to not always say hello to DS girlfriend?

They’re both 17, been together 2 years. She’s absolutely lovely and we get on well. She comes to our house 2 to 3 times per week. Sometimes I pick her up, sometimes I greet her at the door, sometimes I knock on DS door and say hello but other times, like today I don’t see her at all. She arrived when I was out, DS has taken food up for them to eat in his room and I’m in bed now and I can hear her leaving.

Its not rude to just leave them to it is it?

No. If you'd been downstairs, it would have been polite for her to have come and said goodbye to you, or vice versa, but not now you're already in bed.

Of course not.

Why, who is complaining ?

Of course not, I thought you were going to say something like when you see her out and about or pass each other in the house and you ignore her 😂

If you worry that you may be offending her by not seeking her out when she visits to say hello then what does that say about her? She’s the guest so she should be making sure she says hello to you (again, nothing wrong with just not seeing each other and it not being a big deal)

No it's fine. If she walked past you and you didn't say anything that would be weird, but not when she's already in his room and you're then in bed. They probably would prefer you not walking in there?
