One of my friends got divorced about two and a half years ago, and she lives with her DS who is 17.

My friend has had a boyfriend for about a year now, and he sometimes stays overnight. Her DS is not comfortable with this.

Me and DP are quite close with her DS, as he stayed with us for a while during the really messy parts of the divorce, so he often comes to us for advice.

He wants his girlfriend of almost two years to stay overnight as well, but his mum has said no, she wouldn't be happy with it.
I personally feel like it's unfair on her DS to impose her boyfriend on him, when his girlfriend isn't allowed to stay overnight.

I'm preparing to be told it's none of my business, but I care greatly for both my friend and her DS - should I talk to my friend about her DS's concerns? Should I give him any advice? Or should I just leave it well alone?

ohyesIwill has a point, I think I'd be pretty pissed off to if you stuck your nose into this. It's her family. By all means be a sounding board for the DS, and it's good he can speak to you, but she's the mum, it's her house and it's no one's business.
