My 16 year old daughter for years has suffered with mental health problems it really affected her school friends her life for years finally I got her help she went to a therapist a couple of years later she’s now on meds which has helped her a great deal she completed her GCSEs and is now starting college on a level 2 course so I’m really pleased for her I never thought she would get to this point as she was so bad she was suicidal so I’m so thankful!
anyway she met a lovely boy a few months ago he very respectful he’s also starting college the problem is they live an hour apart and can’t see each other during the week they have college etc so she has asked me if he can stay over one or two nights a week they have already been sexually active and she come to tell me she and her boyfriend are ready so I took her to the contraception clinic she now has the coil fitted.
the problem is Dh has a issue with him staying over instead he would prefer once every other week but I don’t have a problem with once a week my daughter could go to her boyfriends sometimes but she gets anxiety travelling back from hes house a long way from home so preferably prefer her boyfriend to come to our house once or twice a week does Dh have a point with it being to much as he likes privacy and he’s own time or is every other Saturday appropriate??

I can see both sides. I can see DH’s PoV - not waiting someone staying in his home every weekend. I don’t think that is being controlling. I can also see your PoV - being happy DD is now socialising and making that socialising easier for DD. I think DH’s every other weekend plan would also give DD space to try to build relationships and mix with college peers and complete college work.

I think given her anxiety travelling id want him to be staying at yours.
