I (32M) have been dating my girlfriend (24F) for 4 years. I also have a sister (23F) who I’m close with.
For context, my sister and I are both very outdoorsy. We grew up hiking, camping, getting dirty, sleeping in tents, the whole thing. We like to get scared in the middle of nowhere. Like in the Blair Witch project. We’ve done these weekend forest camping trips for years. Small tent, roughing it, no luxury, lots of adrenaline etc.
My girlfriend is kind of the opposite. She likes fancy vacations, dressing up, hotels, etc. Which is totally fine, we just have different interests.
A couple months ago, my sister and I went on one of our usual weekend camping trips. After that, my girlfriend told me she was uncomfortable with us sharing one small tent. She said it was extremely inappropriate and asked why we couldn’t have separate tents. She started asking weird questions like how close my sister and I sleep to each other, do we cuddle etc. I honestly didn’t understand where that was coming from, but I didn’t argue much about it at the time.
So sister and I are supposed to go on another camping trip this weekend. Earlier today, I called my sister and asked if we could bring separate tents. She kept asking why, and I eventually told her the truth, that my girlfriend was uncomfortable and thought it was inappropriate.
So yeah, my sister freaked out pretty badly. She screamed and called my girlfriend an insane psycho and said I can do way better than her and that I should hold off on buying the engagement ring. She also said she’d be scared alone in a separate tent in the wood.
