We have ds and his boyfriend coming tomorrow for Christmas. We’ve met the boyfriend once over lunch, and he is lovely.

Dh wants them to sleep in separate rooms. Now obviously when they are in their own city they must share a bed as they stay over at each other’s places.

But when our dd had her then boyfriend stay for Christmas when she was 21, we made them sleep in separate beds then. Our parents agree as they were not married, but did say things seem very different today.

The Sun is homophobic, racist and misogynistic.

They do understand what is meant by the word "woman".

I had to have separate bed to my now husband when staying over at my parents even though we were both in our 20s!
Was royally fucked off when my younger sister eventually got older and had her boyfriend over and they'd unclenched enough to allow them to sleep in the same room!! Angry Grin
Keep it the same treatment, otherwise the one you were harshest on will never let you forget it ha

@hypeg

Thank you for all the replies, I’ve just got through them. To clarify, it’s my dh who wants to keep the rule of separate beds, not me.
It sounds like your 'D'H is homophobic then. And if I were you I'd challenge him and overrule him. Your DH is being unreasonable. Time for you to step up to the plate, and convince him to change his mind, and if necessary overrule him.

So you’re fine with the Sun hating women, as long as they are ‘gender critical’?

Fucking nuts.

@OP sounds a bit more like your DH has a problem with your son being gay than The Sun!

I've let my dd have her boyfriend over from 17

"Because they were not married"

What year is it again? Have I gone back in time? Hmm

My father did this with me. Despite my then bf, now husband and I sharing a flat in another city. I thought it was madness at the time but dad is a devout Christian, his house his rules. I got it. And it was actually nice to have my own bed for once as DH is a massive snorer!
