Stay with friend or in a hotel?
I am going to visit a friend of mine who lives in NYC in about a month. She has a very small two bedroom apartment. She shares it with her fiancé and another roommate. She wants me to stay with her, on her couch. I'm someone who likes my space. Additionally, I don't crash on peoples couches anymore. That's something I did in my 20's, I'm 35 now. I really just want to get a hotel. I'm only going to be there for the weekend, but I know she is going to get snotty with me if I tell her I don't want to stay with her. How would anyone else handle this?
Re: Stay with friend or in a hotel?
Great idea!
And also, when you tell her you'll be staying in a hotel, try to make light of it. "Dude, I'm 35. This body can't take sleeping on a couch!! If only I were still 20....". or just SOMETHING that takes the onus off "I don't want to stay in your small, cramped apartment".
Another vote for "girls weekend in hotel" but make some time to meet up with FI for lunch or dinner and some time to visit with him too.
I live in a two bedroom NYC apartment (with just H and our cat!) and one room is solely storage and his drum kit! If I was your friend I would invite you to stay with us and be SO RELIEVED when you said you got a hotel! I love my friends but I'm someone who likes my space too, especially when there isn't much of it. I'm sure a girls weekend in a hotel or even a lunch date and a mani-pedi session will give you lots of time to see eachother (and not share one bathroom between four people!)
