(OC) Visited my long distance bf who lives in rural Romania and shared a room with him and his parents

[merde@sh.itjust.works]

do they share the room all year or is it only in the winter because it's easier to heat one room with wood?

All year. The house is very small. It’s basically that room + kitchen / place to eat + a hallway. The toilet is outdoors.

welcome to lemmy by the way (if that isn't a new account for an old lemming)

Or at least that is what you believe

Is he Indian

For those wondering, that's apparently called a masonry stove, specifically a tiled stove. These were pretty common where I'm at and people still sometimes keep them for decorative purposes.

My grandma still uses one. Have to get wood for her every year.

German here. Those are still quite common on the countryside. My parents and my aunt have one, some neighbours too.

Does he live there year round? How did you meet? His parents didn't have an issue with you staying even though you're unwed?

[sunisup@lemmy.world]

Yeah. We met on a language exchange app. Not at all, quite the contrary, lol. They were excited.

Ha, cool, congrats!!
