    Of course the LW

    NEVER should have moved in with the man if he hadn't told them in the first place. Shame on him. This isn't about hiding HER, it's about him being dishonorable. He wants the sex and the cooking and half the rent paid, but he doesn't want to upset his parents. That is, he wants to disobey them but he wants to appear as if he's not. In other words, he is a big fucking liar. And this lie dishonors her and is disrespectful to her. I'd say a week is overly generous to remedy this incredible lack of character. She should tell him he can call today--or she'll call tomorrow to invite them over for dinner at the lovely home they are sharing.
