Is staying with a male co resident too weird?

using a throwaway for obvious reasons

I’m currently a PGY-1 in emergency medicine and pregnant. Things at home have completely fallen apart. Last time I posted, 99% of the comments said I should leave. My husband is an attending in a different specialty, and he treats me horribly.

One of my co-residents (a guy in my EM program) found out what I’m going through and offered to let me stay in his apartment until I can figure out a permanent situation. He’s genuinely just being supportive and trying to help me but I’m thinking about how this looks or if it’s a terrible idea. My family lives in a different state and I can't just abandon this residency. I worked too hard for this.

Would it be weird or unprofessional to stay with a male co-resident? We would share a room but just friends
