From your initial post, it reads as though his grandmother was led to believe the girlfriend would not be with him.

It's completely possible that she invited him to stay, then he shows up with the girlfriend and his grandmother says, "no deal." If he didn't tell his grandmother that his girlfriend would be with him, it's his fault. I would imagine he knows his grandmother's beliefs on the issue.

I question if he misled her intentionally, knowing she was against it, but hoping that she would allow it since they showed up on her doorstep.

Regardless, I wouldn't judge the grandmother. She comes from an age where unmarried couples in the same home (even if in different rooms) was socially a taboo. If that's her belief, God bless her.
