I don’t know nature of your friendship but I don’t think I’d be ok sleeping with a friend for no reason. How did she react to your proposal? I guess I’d be rather confused.

Maybe because I don’t find it comforting sleeping in the same bed unless it’s a romantic partner. I am hard to sleep with (very very restless and I snore) so one has to really be into me to put up with this.

I shared beds with friends or relatives (my daughter mostly) out of necessity: in hotels or sleeping over and lack of beds. Last time I attempted to sleep with my daughter was after death of her husband and she was in such bad shape that she wanted me to be in the same bed (she had horrid nightmares and was afraid to sleep) but after first night poor girl said she’d rather have nightmares and be up than hear me snore and put up with my kicking her and pulling blankets off her. That made us both laugh despite gravity of a situation.

So what did the woman say to your proposal?
