Patch Job: Kicked Out By A Friend After Six Months In Her Guest Room

Description

She said she was healing. Her friend said she was freeloading.

This week’s confession comes from someone who moved into her friend’s guest room after a messy breakup—and didn’t leave. Six months, zero rent, and a whole lot of unspoken tension later, her friend changed the Wi-Fi password and handed her a formal three-day notice.

Yikes.

In this Patch Job, we break it down: the slippery slope from houseguest to headache, why real apologies matter, and how to make an exit you can be proud of. With wisdom (and some tough love) from our True Home Confessions community, we talk about boundaries, gratitude, and how to move on—literally.

One confession. A few fixes. That’s the patch.
