[quote=Anonymous]OP, imagine she's a housemate, you are room mates. I would start there. Many would not do this but I would start there. Give her a shelf in the frig. She should be respectful re: quietly coming and going, but you would not really know her hours. If the two of you had plans -- dinner whatever, the expected consideration would be to let the other know if plans have changed - but this also means not assuming time together just because you want it, or just because she lives there.

Now, since you have some financial interests here, she is not financially independent: if she drives your car both of you need to discuss that schedule. You are likely paying for groceries- she could/perhaps should grocery shop for herself but leave a receipt for you and you reimburse. Always considerate for both of you if you say, "I'm going to the store. Do you need anything?"

No heavy romantic activity while you're in the house, not overnight. You may want to "give her the house" on some evenings to entertain with clear notice of the time you would return.[/quote]
