For those of you that live alone, I’m wondering how many of you have a clear no spending the night policy at your place?
I have had gals that are allowed to in the past and it was fine, they’re rare.
This is MY space, not your second home. Some just start assuming they can leave their stuff or “have a drawer”, no you can’t. They then also start assuming they’re the gf, when you’ve not discussed it. Start messing with my environment, saying “hey I did this! What do you think?” Nope.
Also, because of my background, I also do not sleep soundly if there is a new factor in my environment - situational awareness is an issue that keeps me awake with someone new, it fades with familiarity but takes time. Likewise going to gals place to spend the night can be unnerving for the first few times.
If you’re seeing more than one person having a strict no stayovers policy makes it easier to schedule for the next day like Friday to Saturday what if the Friday gal gets it in her head she wants to have a late breakfast - NOT. It also avoids needing to put your foot down. I find it solves many issues.
Just something I’ve been meaning to discuss with you rapscallions…
Sound off.
