Current Events > I have a friend that feels he's entitled to stay at my house

(+) Yeah! (+)

Backstory: friend is a former roommate. He now lives an hour away, but we still talk a lot. Well he came into town and stayed with a couple of friends. He called me out of the blue to hang out, which we did a couple of times since he's been down here

Now he was supposed to go back home like 2 weeks ago which he hasn't for some reason. He texted me this morning asking if he could crash at my house until Sunday (basically an entire week) because the people he's staying with are "driving him crazy".

I told him no because

A) he was supposed to be home 2 weeks ago and his friends are probably mad that he's still there longer than he said and I'm not going to let that happen here

B) my girl stays with me on the weekends, and I work during the week so weeknights are the only alone time I have. If it was like one night then yeah I'd be cool but not the entire week and especially not while I'm at work I'm not comfortable letting him stay at my place by himself

He's basically trying to guilt trip me by saying shit like "we used to live together, I thought we were good friends, you let your girl stay there all the time" instead of just saying ok.

I mean I kinda feel like an asshole because I could let him stay for a bit but I just don't want to because I like living alone. Not for an entire damn week at least, my place isn't his free hotel room.

i'd never speak to this person again

It's ok. You're advocating for yourself.

Bleeding hearts are trampled upon due to a lack of boundaries.

Looks like you have boundaries, fortunately.

Entitlement would be him assuming he gets to stay there, this is just him making poor attempts at convincing you. I mean really, "you let your girl stay there all the time" yeah no shit that's one of the reasons he can't stay, lol
