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?
It’s funny, when I was in high school and college, I felt a great sense of pride in “conquering” my partner’s home, but as a married adult it does give me some mild ick to get frisky in the guest bed. I mean I still will, but there’s definitely a loss of enthusiasm and willingness to do certain things.
