What do I do about accomodation for this trip?

Six of us going. One couple, 2 single men, one married man (wife not going) and me. 3 nights in a European capital.

An apartment with 3 twin rooms has been identified as suitable. I shall have to ask but as yet, I don't know who I'm expected to share with.

I know the couple well, the others are friends, but not that close. I've never been away with them before.

Obviously if I ask for my own room, the cost goes up for everyone (or I cover the increase?)

Or I just go for it and share with one of the men? I think I could live with that for a few days, I'd be perfectly safe with any of them, but the reality might be a bit uncomfortable. If I could choose, there's one of the men I'd feel more comfortable with, but he's probably also the one with a bit of a rep as a ladies man (although never made a move on me). Quite difficult for me to come out and say who I'd prefer though! Definitely not the married man.

WWYD?

FWIW I said yes before I knew who was going on the trip, I thought there would be more people and more women, but I'm looking forward to it and the people are a good fun crowd, it's just the sleeping arrangements!

Glad it's sorted.

Good result! Two of the guys will have the other apartment surely? You, weird couple and third man in original apartment given that you know the couple best.

Thank you, I'll have a look, although I was going to leave them to get on with it!

No, I don't think it's reasonable to expect the couple to split or that it's odd that he is coming and I'm surprised how many do. Tbh I don't think DH and I would have been willing to sleep separately and share with someone else on such a trip.

I think the surprise is the fact that they're permanently attached and couldn't possibly be separated for any possible reasons because of their weird relationship and the fact he's only coming along because they can't be away from each other....

Wow such character assassinations here.

Nothing wrong with the DH going on the trip - they're entitled to do as they wish, particularly as the accommodation has been sorted out to everyone's satisfaction.
