What do you compromise? Nearly anytime you speak about your relationship, you talk about how you never do anything you do not want to do, and if she doesn't like it too bad. You do not sound like someone who compromises. And you have posted about how you don't like to sleep with her in a bed, you prefer to sleep by yourself on a futon. If you are a warmer and more giving person than you sound on the board, then good.

You have no idea what compromise means. Your post makes no sense, which isn't surprising at all.

I'm not sure. Knowing your idiosyncrasies isn't part of my job description.

I never do anything I don't want to do but when I compromise and give a little. I want to do that. If I really don't want to do something then tough. If I give it some thought and consider that maybe I should concede more then I will do it without resentment. I prefer to sleep alone. She definitely has no qualms on getting more space.

Actually I do not only do I do it but I also know what it means in a dictionary. Don't project in order to cover your personal problems.

I bet she wishes you had more understanding too

I wouldn't have objected and I would leave the house for that time. I'm quite disappointed that she lied to me by telling me she was leaving to travel to her parents' place again. She even made it believable by packing bags like she was staying overnight. She really did the most and I don't appreciate it.
She should have told you. You are right, this is just as much her house as it is your house.
My parents moved in with me temporarily and my mom invited her annoying relatives over all the time. I tolerated them but sometimes I had to say No! I can't stand entertain them, I have better things to do.

At the end of the day, my mom and I still love each other, but she learned to respect my boundary.
