2 Athletic Austrians Living with my Girlfriend

[SwissChocolate]

As the subject suggests, I am in a somewhat weird situation with my girlfriend of six months (who reminds me of a sweeter version of Lagertha from the bomb ass show Vikings so that'll be her code name). There is a foreign exchange student program at my school which will award you a fuckload of volunteer service hours to host students from Austria. Funny enough, my girlfriends mother decided to sign up right away and now her and her family will be living with them for two weeks, and they aren't bad looking either.

I can't say I blame her, but neither can I say I don't feel a little weird about the situation. I mean, if I was in their strange Austrian shoes I probably wouldn't think twice about getting things poppin' with Lagertha. I don't feel that worried about cheating because Lagertha is super loyal and a great gf but I was wondering how I should approach the situation/ lay down the law with the Austrian guys.

I'm wondering if I should give them a warning when I meet them for the first time tomorrow and/or talk to Lagertha about it... or if I should just act like I'm not phased at all to give the impression that I trust Lagertha's loyalty and have enough confidence in myself to be assured that she would never even consider cheating on me.

I am curious to see your answers as it is my first post on the boards.

With Thanks,
Alec

What do you want to warn them about? You will only show your insecurity to them, and mainly to Lagertha. Remember, they live together and they talk. You just show up like you are the great BF and she is your great GF, and that is it. They are just guys in the background, perhaps very friendly but nothing else.

You trust Lagertha without hesitations, and that is your frame. She should meet your trust, meaning she should be loyal to you. If not she doesn't worth it anyway.

Don't start talking about those with Lagertha either, she will know right away that you are showing insecurity by asking about them. If she brings them up in conversation herself, you don't say anything negative about them either. You say: They both seem like great and interesting guys. It simply doesn't bother you at all that they live together, you trust her and that is all...

Treat them as you would any other friend, warning them makes you seem insecure..which can backfire 9/10 times. Just treat them as you would any other friend and who knows, maybe you can help hook them up a couple times too.

Thanks for the tips Drck & Whizzy. It turns out they were far from attractive which made things easy.

The opposite of insecurity is confidence NOT security. No man is 100% secure in life, anything can happen (storms, accidents, death), confidence means understanding anything can happen and be prepared to grab life by the horns for the ride of your fucking life (literally).

Real confidence comes from experience. This is a great experience. You will probably feel a range of emotions, and unexpected things may occur. Take it all in like a man. Handle it the BEST you can (thats all any one can expect from you) and learn from it.
