Boyfriend getting new roomate on tour. question

Hi

I've just got a question for the ladies who have a man in the forces or if you may know the answer.

My boyfriends on a tour with the RAF in Dubai and he's just told me he's getting a new roomate tomorrow.

I just want to know if it could be a female, and would the RAF allow a woman and a man to share the same room?

Please let me know.

Thanks

He's with the RAF - he's prob in a smart hotel Wink

No, not if it's an actual room. If it's a sleeping bag under a basha, then possibly.

DP says no, it wouldn't be a woman.

Thank you BiBi8. I hope to God not. I won't be happy with that.

Vanishingly unlikely to be a woman.

Unless they have requested each other.

But even the RAF (and its starry hotels and soft towels) would look askance at a married person shacking up obviously with a colleague.

We're not married but we have been together for 3 years.

Mixed sex sharing of multi occupier rooms is prohibited so as said above unless its a basha very unlikely to share and especially not when guests in the UAE.
But seriously OP why wouldn't you be happy, do you not trust DP to act like a professional serviceman?

No. He's there for 4 months I think it's completely inappropriate for him to have a female roomate.

It would be completely inappropriate so it wouldn't happen, don't worry.

He won't have a female room-mate.

You can get into a serious disciplinary mess for unauthorised shagging sharing.

If he's going to be unfaithful whilst away, he'll find a way and it'll be nothing whatsoever to do with the designated room-mate.

I was wondering why this is on your mind. Has he said something? Or are you having suspicions?

Babyboy15 · 24/01/2017 21:31

He's just said he think's he's getting a female roomate tomorrow and I said he better not be.

That would not go down well with me. I would have suspicions to be perfectly honest. Even if they did assign my DP a female roommate, he would refuse as he wouldn't want to put me in that position.

Penfold007 · 24/01/2017 21:41

He winding you up especially in Dubai.

Maybe he's adopted a puppy?
