Pop, rock, classical, or instrumental music abounds in the world and is just waiting for you to discover it. But first, you have to know where to look.

Why are live performances and music festivals so intriguing to music fans? Well, real music enthusiasts have a fantastic platform and a rare opportunity to interact directly with their favorite bands, singers, and musicians at music concerts.

This is a fantastic method to find music you already like but with a fresh perspective. You never know—you might even discover a new favorite!

One such thing that fosters sentiments of harmony and compassion is music, and when you attend a performance, you may be surrounded by hundreds of other like-minded individuals who share your interests. One of the OP's mutual friends messaged her and her boyfriend with an invitation to a music show.

This show was on Wednesday night, meaning they'd have to leave Wednesday at noon or so. Not to mention that the OP and her social circle are planning to attend a weekend event in a different state.

They all intend to arrive there at different points during the week due to differences in work schedules. Now that the OP is going to the music show, she'll have to share a room with this mutual, who is a male.

The OP doesn't want to make her boyfriend uncomfortable or to worry unnecessarily, so she's asking if it'll be wrong to split a room with only one friend.

The OP writes

One of their mutual friends messaged both of them with an invite to a music show

Their friend is planning to stay in a hotel after the show and offered to split it

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the AH:

1) Worried about booking a hotel room with a friend of the opposite gender to split the cost after attending a show 2) My partner will be aware of this, but absent

Let's head into the comments and find out what other redditors think about this story

Is the OP planning on telling her boyfriend?

The OP and her boyfriend have to talk about it and a decision made

This Redditor wants the OP to look at it from another angle

This redditor has an important question to ask

Info: If the roles were reversed, how would you feel about him spending the night in a hotel room with another woman if you were not there.

This Redditor advices the OP not to do it

The OP should tell her boyfriend about everything beforehand

The OP should just get her own room

This may just strain the OP's relationship

The OP needs to talk to her boyfriend about it first

Not everyone will be comfortable with their partner sleeping in the same room with the opposite gender. Depending on how the OP and her partner feel, it may be worth getting her own room, but sharing a room is okay if the OP is comfortable with it and she trusts this mutual friend.

In the end, the OP was declared not the AH, and you can drop your own opinions below.
