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

[ClinicallyProven]

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.

Nope, absolutely not.

Would I fuck. I like my own space.

And I wouldn't be impressed at you suggesting you'd share a room with my DH to save cash if you did the same hobby, frankly. It's odd and inappropriate when you but know he's in a relationship and wouldn't describe him as a friend.

I wouldn't share with anyone, male or female in that situation.

I’d be fine with it in theory if it was just a room to sleep in and the rest of the time was taken up by the activity. And if there were other spaces in the accommodation for everyone’s use. I’d be fine if my male partner were staying with a female under the same circumstance. But I stay in 18 bed dorms with actual strangers relatively regularly, and campsites with randomers too.

Good god, no. The poor partner.

No and I wouldn't share with a woman either.

Can you ask if one of the couples could spend the nights apart and split sharing with you both so the woman shares with you and the man shares with him?

It reads like you want to so go for it.

Me personally, I wouldn't. He may snore, take ages in the toilet, stay up late and read ..... Just so many things you don't know about him.

So, for practical reasons rather than moral, safety or 'how it looks' reasons

No way, annoying situation for you though

No. Not a chance.

Agree. Apart from the optics, you may well get a very disturbed nights sleep!

Absolutely not. But I wouldn’t share with a woman either.

I would, but I'm coming from a place of having no money. If he and hus partner are ok with ut, why not.

I did , his other half knew ( and knew me too )

I would not want to share with anyone I didn't know very well, male or female. Bathroom habits, bedtime rituals etc.can cause irritation.

No, but then I dislike sharing a entire house with DP .
Snoring, the hours on the toilet, farting, etc and that's my own partner. Make it a man I barely know and forget it.
He should say no too. Disrespectful to his partner and all to save a few quid.

No way. And if I was the blokes partner, no way would I be up for that either

I'd have to speak to him and his partner and make sure everyone is comfortable with it.
I'd prefer to save the money by sharing.

No!

I wouldn’t. I have a group of friends that have been going away together for over 10 years . I share with the other woman, and if either one of us doesn’t go then we have a room of our own. I wouldn’t be comfortable with my husband sharing with a random female friend either. Seperate bedrooms within a suite perhaps, but not a twin room.

No (and I say that as someone who’s shared a room with hobby group men on trips but there was more than just the two of us in the room)

I wouldn't want to share with any one, although do often share a bed/bedroom (depending on the set up) with my oldest friend when we go away together.

I would absolutely trust DP to share with another woman, although I know that he would feel uncomfortable, so it might be that your friends partner would not mind.

I agree with this. Presumably you've spent enough time with him to know wether there might be any kind of sexual attraction between you (from one or both sides). If this isn't the case, his partner is okay with it and you generally don't mind sharing a room with other people, I don't see the problem.

Absolutely not. I just wouldn’t feel comfortable and even though he trusts me I think it would be disrespectful to my DH.

if his DP doesn’t care and you feel comfortable then why not?

No way.
I wouldn't share with anyone fully stop.
