DH's Ex in laws staying am I being curmudgeonly?

They are perfectly nice people, 4 of them, aunt of DH's ex (11 years's ex) and her house is tiny. My DH knows them well. They aren't any trouble.

But 10 days?

I'm saying I don't want to have sex while there's people I don't really know in the house. It's not that soundproof. So I reckon he needs to engineer a time for them out the house. He thinks I'm being precious.

Though there's a bit of me thinking if we had really noisy sex they might spend a bit more time out of the house.....

No sex for 10 days? My goodness, however will you cope?! FlowersFlowers hope you make it through this difficult time

if it's not that hard, no wonder you can do it quietly!

He invited his ex in-laws for 10 days at yours? Am I reading that right?

There was a ‘miscommunication’, my fat aunt.

He’d be waiting a lot longer than 10 days for rummy-pumpy. I’d be looking after myself, and letting him know it. In case he got a bright idea along these lines again. Sounds like a precedent being set to me.

Why are they staying at yours?

Bookworm4 · 15/08/2019 10:29

Your DHs ex’s aunt?? Staying for 10 days? I’m surprised you even talk to them!
Do you live in a holiday resort? All very odd🙄

chocolatemademefat · 15/08/2019 10:35

You’re complaining about no sex for ten days? Really? 🤣

Is it just me or is there a whiff of Cool Wife about this thread?

BertrandRussell · 15/08/2019 10:46

Hard though it is for mumsnetters to believe- there are those amongst us who actually like having people to stay. There are also those who aren’t madly keen on it but are prepared to put themselves out for friends and family on occasion.....

I don't think I understand the need for the 'ex in laws' to stay with you? Trying to picture that here...so my partners ex wife's parents? I have no idea who these people are and surely they would be staying with the ex wife?

Is there more to this? Connected by grandchildren and your DH. was a widow? Just trying to reason it out. Feels unusual.

BertrandRussell 10 days is a long time to have people to stay especially when they’re no relation to you even odder when it’s your partners ex’s relatives!

CruCru · 15/08/2019 11:08

If I’ve got this right, an aunt of the DH’s ex wants people to stay over but her house is small so they are staying at yours instead. I do find that a bit weird but not outrageously so - do you live in a farming community or somewhere similarly close knit?

Regardless of whether these are your husband's ex in-laws, it’s hard having lots of people you don’t know to stay. Can you go away for part of it and leave your husband to it? They aren’t your responsibility.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 15/08/2019 11:10

Ten days is a long time. I wouldn't impose myself on anyone for that duration in their own home; only if we'd all actively opted to go away somewhere together. There is such as thing as outstaying your welcome!

Cheeseandwin5 · 15/08/2019 11:10

Be careful - if you have noisy sex to get them out of the house, then your DH maybe inviting them every week (smile)

And if they happen to be voyeurs, you've likewise got a problem ...

Are you TTC? When I have guests when/where I’ll have sex hang first thing on my mind.
