I wouldn't do that personally, because it would obviously get in the way of the non-stop pound town from barely getting to see my long distance gf, but people are different.

I don't know if this is quite "break up" material kind of thing haha. I think it's a bit weird he didn't pitch in on the room, unless he paid for other things that evened out, or if you just make a lot more and are generous which is nice and all but still.
Just gas.. Which was about 40.00 (going to be about 80 both ways) ..

Well thats why I said, if I were your guy, I certainly would have asked first. I'm not sleeping with him after all......

But no, communal living doesn't bother me. But hey, I spend 4 days a year in a field with complete strangers sleeping next to me in tent after tent after tent. Communal living doesn't bother me one iota.

I would have asked before I invited him, before agreeing to him riding with us, and certainly before him staying in a room. I personally wouldn't have a problem with that, but its me, not you. You should have been asked first.

So what? Why do you care what this guy thinks of you? The fact you are concerned about "not wearing makeup" I find pretty questionable.

This whole thing is pretty odd.. Can't sleep because your boyfriends friend is there? Know him or not, friend of your boyfriends.. still..

And in addition to that, back to the messy hair, no makeup kind of thing.. Are you one of those uptight girls who can't go anywhere without being all done up? My gf wears makeup maybe once or twice a month. If she was so concerned about people seeing her without make up would make it seem as if she was really insecure or something.

No I don't care at all its just awkward.. I've gone out without make up before no big deal.. It's just weird because I don't know the guy even if it's his buddy

Good God people are paranoid. I wouldn't care about sharing a room with another couple, girl, or guy with my lady. I'm communal though.
I highly doubt she is concerned for her safety. No one here is "paranoid"

It was a nice couples trip and she was looking forward to private time with her guy to advance their relationship.

Brad Pitt himself could be the "friend" in this scenario and that doesn't make it any more fun or acceptable.

What the boyfriend did was rude and thoughtless. You never invite a 3rd party to share a hotel room with you on a romantic getaway, or anytime without first discussing with your partner.

I will concede that maybe this is a "woman thing", though I'm sure there are some guys who also would not appreciate sharing such a small intimate space with a stranger either, but her feelings are completely understandable to many reading here. I'd venture that most folks value their privacy more than you two

For those who don't get why this would upset someone on the receiving end

1: Planned trip to spend time TOGETHER
2: ignored for others
3: Complete lack of awareness for how his actions affects others

That is not a small issue in the grand scheme, That is speaking of someone's character

I wasn't talking about the OP, I was responding to you who said "No, just no"

Is there any chance the boyfriend could be bi? If my buddy asked me to go with him and his long distance gf, who he rarely see's, and share a hotel room, I would start wondering why he would want to c***block himself?

The thing is, SHE paid for it and he sprung this on her the last minute. If I had paid for a hotel room expecting a romantic weekend I'd be upset too. This is just another case of no consideration, which is actually pretty widespread these days.
