Hen Do sharing rooms

[LMSLMS]

I'm going on a hen do this weekend and one of my friends has been told she's sharing a room with someone she doesn't know, this would be fine however we've just found out it's double beds, how would other people feel about this, would you be comfortable?

Absolutely not. I’d rather sleep on the floor tbh. Or the sofa. I fart and snore so absolutely no way would I inflict that on anyone - friend or stranger!

Totally no.

Sharing a bed with a stranger? HELL NO

I wouldn't share a room, never mind a bed

I wouldn't want to share a bed or a room with a stranger. I wouldn't want to share a bed or room with a friend. I wouldn't want to go on a hen do! I'm fun😀

Wouldn’t bother me

I'd not like sharing a room with a stranger, let alone a bed. I'd pay the extra and have my own room or not go if not enough rooms available to get an extra one.

Same.

I share double beds with my friends all the time when we go away but not sure about a stranger.

I'd not like it but I'd do it as a one off for the hen

Pillows down the middle to avoid the roll together/ bum touches

Then hope I don't fart all night

I wouldn’t want to share a bed with a stranger and I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t want to share with me.

Apparently I sleep talk and my partner says I often say very random things that would probably unnerve or confuse someone who doesn’t know me. Some examples are:
”WILFRED… get that bag of coal away from me, I’ve just about had enough of you and your stupid eyes!” (I don’t know anyone called Wilfred)

”it’s all black and the wolves are coming…”

”I DID NOT WANT THAT ONE!” DP confused asked which one? What did I want?
“I WANT THE OTHER ONE!! Please please don’t get it again I don’t like it”

”shhh don’t wake my owl he doesn’t like that, I don’t want him to go because I just love him so much”
DP was getting ready for work and I was still asleep and apparently stroking the duvet and smiling when I said this.

Based on these examples (and this has just been in the last few weeks, there have been many more over the years) I think anyone sharing a bed with me wouldn’t get much sleep 😂.

DP used to think I was awake and joking because he said I say these things with utter conviction and sometimes he has to answer or I’ll carry on wittering until I’ve had a response. We’ve been together 10 years so he doesn’t bat an eyelid anymore but I don’t think a stranger wants to be shouted at or told it’s dark and wolves are coming so I would definitely think twice before I agreed to share a room with anyone!

Why don't you share with her if you are friends?

I've learned, far too late in life, that life's better when we go for it, take a risk.

I'd previously have been the person who paid the extra and had my own room, but after being widowed and realising how expensive it is having to do that every time, I share with anyone who'll have me now. Men, women, friends, aquaintances, strangers. It's never been awful and the vast majority of times it's been a very positive experience, adding something good to my life.

Double or king size/super king?

Double bed... no way. Thats a bit too intimate. Plus being slightly podgy.. bit over aware of taking up space.

Bigger bed, with own covers, a friend... have done before and would do.

Shared with stranger... again fine.

Shared bed with stranger... a bit uneasy.

How does your friend feel about this?

Yeah I absolutely wouldn't be willing to do this. I don't even like sharing a twin room with a friend, let alone a double with a strange. I'll share a twin with my sister for a couple of nights if I have to but that's about it.

I'd let the organiser know it's a no in this case. OP, can you share with your friend instead?

No chance - would rather pay for my own room

I wouldn’t share a room, and certainly not a double bed. I need my sleep and privacy and time to myself.

No

if it really is a double bed then absolutely not - I don’t even want to be that close to DH!

a super king would be ok if they provided a second duvet, but generally speaking I like my own space and happy to pay for that

How do you feel about it OP, seems odd you have not returned🤔

I wouldn't do that and if I'd already paid without being warned I'd ask for my own room or my money back.
I've just declined attending a residential event because everyone is expected to share a room with a stranger.
This isn't about being precious - it's not just that I value my privacy, I want a good night's sleep and some people snore like trains, or a restless sleepers, or up and down all night... bad enough if you know them.

This is reflective of terrible organising on the part of the organisers and I wouldn’t be too impressed but for a short time and the sake of the hen I’d suck it up.

Not ideal but i would on a hen do, I'm assuming she is known by my friend, the bride, so isn't an axe welding maniac who snuck in 🤷‍♀️

No. I wouldn't even share a room with a stranger, let alone a bed.
