Go to my boyfriend's house for dinner. Do men and women need separate tables?

To tell the truth, it is acceptable for me to go to my boyfriend's house for dinner, where men and women sit at the same table. There is a saying that when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Maybe you are new here and don't know the customs of other countries, but you can follow the arrangement of your host. At this time, you are a guest, don't do anything to usurp the role of the host, and try not to change other people's customs, which will only make jokes. Observe and respect other people's local customs, and make a good first impression when you go to your in-laws' home. This is what smart prospective girlfriends should do.

The topic is about what happened in Jiaozhou, Shandong Province. In fact, this custom is not only in Jiaodong, but also in our hometown in southwestern Shandong. On occasions like this, men and women eat at separate tables. Let me give you an example to see if the situation there is the same as ours.

I went to my aunt's house to visit relatives during the holiday, and my aunt was chatting with us almost all the time. I started to go to the kitchen to prepare meals. When the dishes were served, only my uncle and cousin were eating with me, while my aunt and wife were simply eating some dishes and rice left over from the kitchen. No matter how much you try to persuade them, they won't have dinner together. Even if they are obviously relatives, they can't talk nonsense, but it's not good to persuade them to have dinner together.

This is a custom handed down from the older generation in our country. Although the younger generation may not be very particular about it, this custom still exists in the older generation. Young people may no longer pay attention to these old customs, but the older generation who have formed habits can't really try to change their outdated customs, so you can only do as the Romans do and accept this reality, because this custom has become a habit.
