You are reaching with this one and inventing things that were never even said by the OP. Disrespectful would be to go into the house and sleep together anyway regardless of when his parents said. It's not disrespectful to disagree with it and choose to sleep somewhere else. Also, way to contribute to the culture of **** shaming .

The girlfriend 100% respects the mother's wishes. She isn't staying there at all, nor is she asking to.

But her son did ask...knowing where she stands. That's the equivalent of telling your parents if they are Muslimor Jewish (especially those with kosher homes) that you want to cook pork for breakfast when you already know that they don't allow any pork products to be cooked in their home and the only way you will stay with them is if they allow it. Pretty disrespectful IMO.

Where did the OP say that the son asked if they could sleep over?

Not allowing two adults to share a bed has nothing to do with religion.

i think most people forget the most simple thing here: people don't like to go to places where their freedom is restricted. i am dumbstruck that the OP is wondering why the son won't come under her ridiculous pretenses.

let's be real, the two people are mid-20-somethings and have been in a relationship for two years. they've probably had sex multiple times already, time for mom to stop treating them like high schoolers and start respecting them as adults.

the "my house my rules" mindset is probably at play here, and plays a large part in why the son doesn't want to come home.

That's what I am saying.

Yet you are making things up to suit your argument even though don't know them.

i think mom in the OP might just "bend her morals" when she is told she can't see her grandchildren. parents always tend to abandon their ridiculous conservatist and traditionalist values when they are told they can't see their grandchildren.
