Yes, it is. Go away and take your “are you obese” stuff with you. Not OP.

Not that PP, but it was a legitimate question, since [b]OP didn't explain exactly why they can't share a bed. Please don't act so insecure that you want to shut down questions you find embarrassing on an anonymous message board.

This is an IYKYK type of situation. Just be happy YDK.

If OP and here husband ARE obese it would probably be obvious why they can’t share a queen.

We handle it by staying in hotels rather than houses, or just sucking it up when we absolutely have to. But yeah, we sleep in a queen bed maybe once every two years or so at this point. We're spoiled but it affects our sleep and we love sleep.

I'm "grieving" or "insecure" if my wife and I comfortably fit in a queen bed? Whoah boy. You have issues.

The inviting relative was recently widowed and misses sleeping with their spouse. Read the original post. TMYK

I mean we share a king bed but for one night over a holiday sharing a full bed is not a huge deal. No, we might not get quite as much sleep but it’s not like we are sharing a twin or something. It’s just one night, I agree it seems sort of rude to tell your hostess you aren’t spending the night because her queen sized guest bed won’t cut it for you.

Eww why would you sleep with dogs or let them in your bed?

The issue is that we can no longer comfortably be houseguests in most cases. A relative wanted us to stay in her smallish guest bed after Passover seder and we politely declined, although not before enduring some judgmental comments about us not wanting to sleep wrapped up in each other (she's recently widowed and misses that). I admit to feeling a little sheepish about our two separate beds, but it's working. Anyone else find separate sleeping a boon to their relationship?

OP is one of both of you obese? A queen

For one night seems doable. Maybe not to OP.

Esp as she may be lonely as a new widow? OP can you be flexible for a night here and there? Even a hotel may not always be able to accommodate, you don’t want to be restricted to only sleeping at home 365.

Because we like having them there. Are you too stupid to know that many do this? Or is it that you just can’t stop yourself from typing “Eww” at people on the internet because you are self centered and aggressive and can’t insult anyone in person because they’d kick your @$$?

OP here. Um, no, we're not. And judging by the two (so far) pages of replies, it is worth a thread. If you disagree, why comment?

But we recently moved into a house that has a guest room that one of us sleeps in throughout the week depending on our wake up schedules. It's been amazing to have. When we travel we do sleep in the full or queen that is provided because it's completely tolerable. Just not what we would choose at home. But I wouldn't feel at all bad about declining a less than comfortable sleeping arrangement and am curious that your family does. It's your money!

We do the guest room thing too - no bed is big enough to address the snoring ...we make the best of it when we travel.
