One man found himself frustrated with this after he and his wife initially agreed to host one of her close friends for a short period of time that ended up turning into an ordeal that stretched over multiple months. The friend had gone through a breakup, and her boyfriend had kicked her out. Preferring to avoid the family dynamics at her mom's house, she asked to stay with them.
While the couple showed goodwill to the woman at first, things soon became tiring as she put little effort into finding a job, rarely contributed to chores, and took multiple vacations without indicating when she would move out. On top of that, she stayed in the living room, meaning that half their apartment was off-limits when she slept late.
The man tried to have a conversation with her about leaving, but she got upset. She kept giving him and his wife different dates for her departure, making him feel increasingly disheartened.

'I feel trapped in my own home': Unemployed 30-year-old stays with friends following break-up, gets upset when asked to leave after 5 months
Every house guest should be aware of the concept of overstaying their welcome.
The truth is, even the most generous and caring of hosts only have so much patience with having other people in their house, not least when what was meant to be a short stay turns into an extended period of time. It may be true that none of us are immune to falling on hard times and needing the support of somebody else's roof over our head, but this is a situation in which being proactive is a vital element. After a certain point, it is not the time to relax.
Nonetheless, that is exactly what ends up happening in many situations where people allow friends or family to temporarily stay with them while they get back on their feet. Many long-term house guests find it very easy to take for granted what is being gifted to them, and they do not take it kindly when the patience of their hosts runs out.
