Say "H, I'm apprehensive and nervous about this trip because of the awkward sleeping arrangements. It would be a great relief if you could simply accept that I need the space for my own reasons so that I can relax and enjoy the trip. on top of this, letting your H know that just having the OPTION of another room is important in making you more comfortable. you're not saying you'll have to sleep in one room or the other, but having the option is important to you at this stage.
Great ideas.. thanks so much for them!!
We are doing the talking/listening wheel tonight as homework for the communications counseling we are going to .. I think this will be what I ask him to listen to for me.
I need to go practice this as it is not how I'm use to talking with him.
I need to change that.

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
