Don't know if I am or not?

DS1 girfriend is usually here from Friday through to Monday

When I'm cooking I always ask if she would like some, sometimes she does other times she might not like what I'm making or not be hungry at that time.

She often buys some things for herself and of course I would never expect her to offer to share food she has bought.

However I have an open fridge/freezer policy and she knows she is welcome to help herself to what ever is in

I'm just feeling a bit Sad as she has just made baked potatoes with cheese but didn't ask if I wanted one too.

Am I being daft?

I understand that feeling. I have seen people here before talking about how 'its their home too' as if we are being cruel, but I don't buy that and think they probably haven't lived it if they say that. No one should be made to feel crap and not have any options, DS and girlfriend have options, they can leave if they want to play happy families their own way. As you say it has nothing to do with loving themXmas Smile

I'd expect her to offer you one at least. My dp's brothers gf stays every Saturday night at his mum's house and his mum usually does a family meal for them (we don't live with his mum btw) and every week without fail they say they'll stay for dinner then sod off out to a restaurant. To me that's plain rude. I agree with a pp just hint at an offer for next time

Bloody hell, she's making herself comfortable isn't she!!

re hour long baths (when there is only one loo), using your shampoo and conditioner ffs Shock

No wonder you're pissed off! BOUNDARIES, my dear. What is yours is yours, not hers(theirs). No wonder you feel she/they are tramping all over your boundaries - because she/they are: they are literally taking what isn't theirs.

As I said upthread, you get to see where people are coming from in the little things. iiwy The Talk will be: get your own place.
