In Slate's advice column, a reader expresses concern over not being able to spend the night at her boyfriend's family home after eight months together. Although there is an open invitation to hang out, they have never stayed overnight due to the lack of a suitable bed and respect for family dynamics. The columnists encourage her to initiate a conversation with her boyfriend about the possibility of addressing their sleeping arrangements, suggesting that the hesitance may not solely relate to logistical issues but also to deeper emotional considerations surrounding family respect and comfort.
It's totally reasonable to ask your boyfriend to revisit this topic, as the reluctance may stem from deeper feelings about family dynamics.
Discussing future possibilities about overnight stays, given the circumstances, is essential for both comfort and relationship progression.
