To think that this was a bit gross!!

A family member owns a holiday let and invited us to come to stay. They were staying at the time too, as they often do when they dont have bookings. They gave us their bedroom and slept in a different room so that DH and I could share the double bed.

One particular night, we had quite a few drinks. Once we went to bed, DH and I had sex. I know we were extremely quiet as we always are due to DC sleeping in bedrooms next door at home. Also, the other bedroom that my relative was in was far enough away to be certain they wouldn't have heard anything, but I woke up in the morning and felt awful about it as we really shouldn't have done that in their bed. We were staying with them for a week so we should have just held off. It was DH who instigated it and I think alcohol was definitely a factor.

This was a couple of months back and I still feel pretty awful about it.

I'm building it up in my head to be something terrible and am dreading seeing said family member in future.

YABU - you really shouldnt have done that
YANBU - its not that big a deal

This is 100% nothing you should worry about.

To start, you had discreet sex with your husband whilst on holiday, in a rental house. I can't imagine why on earth this would shame you.

Even if it were a private house, I genuinely wouldn't think it was a problem. I mean, don't be gross about it—don't make a lot of noise or leave dirty sheets or boink on the kitchen counter—but as far as I'm concerned, don't be embarrassed about private behaviour in a private space.

I have had guests stay at my own place for multiple nights, as most of us have, and I've never given particular thought to their sex habits. Now that I am, I both certainly hope they had a lovely time and am delighted that I don't know more.

Honestly, OP, this is the furthest thing from worrisome.

We have lots of visitors staying with us over the year. I honestly would expect the couples to have sex, would not care a jot. Actually I think we've had two or three conceptions of various children in our home.
Please don't worry, OP. It probably never crossed their minds. So give yourself an early Christmas gift and let it go. Thanks
