I’m 20F, he’s 25M. We met in January and have been dating since last month. He’s already met my parents - they love him, and he hangs out at our house all the time. Literally no one has any issues with him, he’s super welcome here. I invited him to sleep over for a few days this week just for fun, but he said he’s not comfortable with it - apparently it feels too “intimate” for him? Like, he’s got this thing about doing private stuff with other people around. I just want him to relax a bit. We’re all adults here, and everyone knows people have private lives. How can I help him feel more okay with it?

    Bad take

    It’s normal to not want to hang out with your partners parents.

    They’re not dating mommy and daddy, mommy and daddy shouldn’t be a part of your romantic relationships.

      “It’s normal to not want to hang out with your partners parents.”

      Yeah, for 20 year olds maybe- ah, now I remember what post I commented this other. OK that’s fair. If you’re like 40 years old and still say “I don’t want to spend any time with my in-laws at all” I personally would consider that weird though.
