Home Boundaries: How Much Privacy Does You Need?

[MicahRaine]

I know some people who won't let you take out their trash cans while they're away on vacation, and I know others who have an "open door" policy where they allow and encourage others to enter their homes at any time without any warning.

So, how much privacy do you like in your own home?

For me, it depends on the person. For some people (even for a few who think I'm their friend), I don't want them to ever know where I live. For others, I'm happy to invite them over. And if we're really close to each other and we're "ride or die" friends, all you need to to is knock on the door and maybe wait a few minutes or give a quick call to let me know you're showing up on my doorstep.

Now, if you're really super close to me (and Raine) and you're one of the few people we share almost everything with, you probably have a key to our house and you're welcome to walk in even if it means interrupting our lovemaking by knocking on the bedroom door. Just don't make the latter bit a habit.

Friends can come over any time, but do not have a key, and may be happily greeted but politely told its not a great time and to come back in x amount of time if I'm busy.

Everyone else can go away and stay away.

We def agreed we dont want anyone knowing where we live if/when we move to texas. For now though, it is what it is

[MicahRaine]

Fair enough. That's how I feel about /leaving/ Texas lol

[DizzyDesii]

I hate when people show up invited so unless its one of the big 3 holidays yearly, i dont really want anyone coming over

[MicahRaine]

Yeah that's so valid lmao

I’m selective about who I let into my home and my life.

If u want privacy get your own place

[MicahRaine]

This just confuses me because in this question the assumption is already made that you have your own place.

[DreamLife7]

If you have your own place why wouldn't you have privacy? Makes no sense and having room mates isn't your own place

Bruh 🤦‍♂️👆
