He Booked A Trip For His Girlfriend’s Birthday, And Now She Expects Him To Sleep In The Very Same Bed As Her And Her 6-Year-Old When They’re Away
A 27-year-old guy has a girlfriend the same age as him, and she’s a single mom. To his girlfriend, her 6-year-old son is the most important thing in her life, and she’s been looking forward to him developing a closer relationship with her son.
Unfortunately, things didn’t start out that great with his girlfriend’s son at all, and he admits that he didn’t like the little boy when he first met him.
Instead of seeing the lovely child his girlfriend knew and loved, he saw nothing but the worst side of this little boy.
“Even though I never expressed this to her, she could notice, but I never in any way mistreated her son or expressed my feelings and thoughts in any way,” he explained.
“So, after a couple of months, I’ve done my best to enhance our relationship, and I’ve been trying to connect with her son more often, and it has actually worked. I feel more connected to the little rascal.”
And as this was going on, his girlfriend mentioned to him that she would like to go on a trip when her birthday arrived.
He decided he would book a nice trip for his girlfriend to celebrate as she wanted, and he found a villa located right on a gorgeous lake,
He intended to book 2 separate rooms for them; one for him and her and one for her son.
“My GF suddenly asks if the bed is big enough for the 3 of us, and that really caught me off guard,” he said.

“I don’t know why, but I really, really don’t feel comfortable with the kid sleeping with us. Of course, if he suddenly feels the urge to walk in the middle of the night and sleep with us, I really wouldn’t mind.”
“But the fact that she wants us to plan this vacation with him in the same bed as us… To me, it doesn’t feel right, and I don’t know why but it ruined my whole mood in regard to this trip.”
He’s not really sure if he’s being too dramatic here, but he is really sure that this is bothering him like crazy.
This is a major step that he’s not prepared for just yet. He is planning to sit his girlfriend down and have an extensive conversation with her about this, but he’s concerned that she won’t understand where he is coming from and instead will misinterpret his feelings to mean he doesn’t want her son around.
“I just don’t want to sleep in the same bed as him and her,” he clarified. “I know how stupid this sounds; believe me, you don’t have to tell me. But any kind of suggestion or insight would be appreciated.”
What kind of advice do you have for him? Is there a way for him to gently break this news to his girlfriend in a way she won’t get offended by?
