Would you share with a random bloke to avoid booking two rooms?

I'm going away with a hobby group. Usually those of us who are single seem to be able to work things out and share with the same sex. This time a smaller group is going and there's only me and him who won't be taking partners. He's with a very long term partner who doesn't like to attend these things and I'm single.

I've known him for a long time in this group and have always found him lovely and respectful, both to me and about his partner. I wouldn't say I know him well or even that we're friends though. We have been drunk together (which I always think is a good test 😆) and still he's nothing but respectful.

Anyway, it's been suggested (not by either of us!) that we could share. I think I'm comfortable to share with him for a couple of nights, but I'm not sure how it looks or whether it puts his DP in an uncomfortable position.

FWIW it saves us each about £120, which is a significant sum to me, but wouldn't mean I couldn't go. It is frustrating how everything costs more when you're single though!

He might hate the idea, I'm just mulling it over at this stage.

I would but only if his partner (and him) we're ok with it. And he didn't snore..

Given that he's so respectful, Id check with his partner and if she's okay, say yes

I wouldn’t share with anyone. Male or female. Friend or stranger.

It wouldn’t worry me if my OH wanted to share with someone of the opposite sex though. He has done a few times already.

Would.you be happy listening to him having a lengthy shit through the bathroom door? Or for him hearing you? It's a.no from me, and I do travel.solo and have to stump up the extra. Sorry but I like my private space and sharing with anyone who wasn't related to me or I was intimate with would be a hard no

I'm a bit disappointed from reading the article that his demise isn't going to be related to sharing a room with a woman.

Nope. But I wouldn’t share with a random woman either.
