How Do You Handle Your Girlfriend Being Uncomfortable Around Your Family After An Incident?

[JacksonTyler]

So, my girlfriend stopped by my house to drop off something she bought for me. Neither of my parents work on Monday so I just told her she could leave it with my mom or dad at the house.
She texted me around 12 PM that day telling me that the house was locked and nobody was there. So I told her my dad was probably in his shop down the hill.
(My dad owns mechanic shops through out our town so on Monday’s is around the only time he gets to work on his toys)
So she walked down to the shop and said that the shop door was open so she just walked in. Turns out both my parents were in the shop because when she walked in obviously she caught them having sex.
They did not see her, I have not brought it up to them because it’s just as uncomfortable to me even though I didn’t see what she did.
But now she won’t come over to my house or come to our family cook outs even though she says she’s fine with the whole thing and laughs it off obviously it’s not because she used to spend every day after school at my house watching tv and playing games with my brothers and I plus my parents. She was so close with my mom now I’m guessing she just feels uncomfortable and this happened like a month ago. I don’t want to keep bringing it up but how could I go about maybe making her feel more at ease? I never really thought walking in on someone could be that weird I mean it wasn’t her parents I should be the one feeling uncomfortable. Any help would be appropriate I’m not trying to be mean or spoiled or anything but it’s just frustrating when she won’t talk to me and I don’t know what to do.

Answer is to drop the subject. She will either get over what she feels or she won’t

The phrase 'least said soonest mended' comes to mind.

Your girlfriend will deal with this in her own way, in her own time, and frankly, you are not the best person to help her with it.

She can talk to her friends, and work out her feelings for herself, which may take a little time.

If she brings it up, listen to her while she talks it through, if she doesn't leave it alone.

This will mend a lot quicker if you don't make a deal of it, let her deal with it in her own way in her own time.

Why's she concerned - surely you warned her he would be working on his toys.

Try to forget it. Leave her alone to sort herself out.

[Tilly2]

I don't actually believe any of this.

A load of twaddle.

[Ringlet]

This all sounds a bit suspicious. What answer are you hoping for? If it is a genuine question, I don't understand why she should be so upset because your parents were having sex? How does she think you came into the world? She needs to grow up. OK, it would be mildly embarrassing to walk in on them, but you say they didn't know she was there - so there is no cause for embarrassment. It just sounds like a broohaha about nothing.

There's a reason that men put up a sign saying 'Tool Room'.

Suggest your GF pays more attention to her surroundings.

Ohhhh I'm interested, these toys are they American muscle cars ( I'm asking because you sound like your in the USA. ) And did your girlfriend walking in on 'your parents having sex' involve Swarfega seeing as how your dad is a a mechanic ?
