Woman rents a house for herself for the holidays, visiting couple demands to take the primary bedroom: 'They don't automatically have the right to the best sleeping arrangements'

We've all known that couple who assume the world revolves around them. 

There is an annoying thing about being friends with a couple that nobody is really talking about. It's not all couples, but some couples just act like they're the first people who have ever been in love. They expect everyone's plans to revolve around them as a couple, and they assume they can bring each other to every function. They're attached at the hip and expect everyone just to be okay with that. But we don't have to take it. We can set boundaries of our own. Nobody is better than anyone else just because they're in a relationship. Couple privilege already exists everywhere in the world; it doesn't have to exist within our own friendships. There are certain things that make sense to give to couples. They might get the invite to a double date or get given a joint gift. They might get preferential seating at a restaurant or access to couples' resorts. 

But we don't have to give that to everyone. Especially in our own home. Just because there are two of you doesn't mean that you are twice as important. So it's up to us to reinforce the boundaries of our relationships. We can pick and choose who we give preferential treatment to, and it doesn't have to all revolve around couples. That's the situation that this woman found herself in after she rented a cabin for herself. She already felt pressured to invite her friends; she didn't want to give up her bed.
