I share a bed with my lesbian roommate

A year ago, I had to get a roommate because rent was too high. I put an ad on Facebook (only my friends could see it) and the first to respond was a friend from high school. She didn't have a bed (she was crashing on the couch at someone else's house) so I (awkwardly) proposed we share mine, as it's a king size. To my surprise, she agreed as a temporary solution. It's been a year and were still doing this. Is it weird? And no, we don't do anything, just sleep!

    I'd say it's normal. Sometimes just needing a place to sleep takes precedence over where it is or who it's with, just as long as there isn't any awkward sexual tension involved.

    Though if you were feeling uncomfortable or awkward about it, I'd talk to your roommate about saving money for her own bed. It wouldn't hurt, and if it's as innocuous as you're describing, chances are she won't get offended.

      She is saving for her own but she doesn't make a lot of money and I'm not really uncomfortable with it, I mean, in a kind of childish way, it IS nice to have someone there, I guess in case the monsters in the closet decide to start a revolution or something. I just don't think it's that normal and wanted to get a second... or third... or twentieth opinion on the matter

    Regular, it's only you're very imaginative, if you know what I'm saying.

    Totally normal! Many perverts may overthink, but this is very normal.

    I don't think it's normal, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I think it's great that people can live together, even sleep together without sex. It's not good to be alone, and it can be a great comfort to have another person there even if that's all you have, their presence. Sex is a wonderful thing but sometimes it only complicates things. In your case you both simply have a financial arrangement that seems to work very well for both of you and I'm happy for you.
