DEAR ABBY: My husband and I decided to go our separate ways and have filed for divorce. Although I moved out, we agreed to keep prior engagements. One of them is a trip to Europe to visit family and friends.
When we talked about traveling together, my understanding was that it meant sitting next to each other in the car and on the plane. Now he is making the hotel arrangements and has asked me if he should book a room with two beds or two separate rooms. This is confusing and it's making me feel awkward. How should I answer? -- THE EX-MRS. IN MICHIGAN
DEAR EX-MRS.: Be honest. If the idea of sharing a room with your almost-ex-husband makes you uncomfortable, tell him you would prefer separate accommodations.
I'm seeing the reason a separation and divorce means not traveling together for pleasure.

Well, it COULD cause a delay in the divorce. So there is that.

Honestly after having 3 kids i don't care who sees me nekkid! I sure as heck wouldnt care if it was DH!
I have a very unlikely openness about nudity for being such a prude! I usually don't care who sees me naked, especially other women. Of course, living in Japan and getting used to public baths probably helped with that, but even as a kid, my mom would walk around naked all the time, and when my step-father wasn't there, so did my sister and I.

I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you.
She's lived and slept with the man for presumably YEARS. ANd, she AGREED to go on vacation, he isn't twisting her arm. If SHE wants to get her own room, then book your own room! Grow the freak up. Geez.
Gawd, i HATE these whining types who want everyone else to somehow magically know exactly what they want at all times but won't lift a dang finger to help themselves! Ugh!
So would she feel less awkward if he had just assumed she would be okay with one or the other and made the arrangements based on that? Or just made his arrangements and left hers up to her without saying a word?
