I'm (28F) have been dating this guy (26M) for about 6 weeks. Unfortunately, I suffer from anxiety surrounding eating, sleeping, and travelling. I'm working through it with a therapist, but there's some things I haven't gotten round to dealing with yet, such as sleeping in the same bed as someone else.
Nevertheless, we decided to try last Friday. I had disclosed this anxiety issue before and I just got home from travelling for work (which is still a bit of an anxiety trigger). After doing breathing exercises to calm myself down for about 2 hours I asked him to move to the guest room.
Obviously I am going to discuss this with my therapist, but one of the things I thought of that might help me to take small steps is to make the guest room the default for now whenever he sleeps over. Of course I am going to discuss this with him but I'd like to hear your opinion too:
What would you think if your partner (or not-quite-yet-partner) would ask you to sleep in the guest room due to anxiety issues?
