The Late-Night Drama: Friend or Foe?

In a saga of late-night visits, a woman finds herself at odds with her close friend who has a habit of showing up unannounced. The friend, who lives two hours away and is not on good terms with his brother, often finds refuge at her apartment. Despite her pleas for advance notice, the unexpected visits continue, even at 2 am. She’s left questioning: Is she wrong for not answering the door? Or is her friend crossing a line? The drama unfolds as she grapples with setting boundaries and maintaining her friendship. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…

“NTA. Showing up unannounced is super rude. Talk to your friend and let him know it’s unacceptable. Your friend doesn’t live there, and he’s not entitled to use your apartment as a crash pad.”

NTA, set boundaries with unannounced visits. Communicate clearly and consistently.

Don’t be a midnight intruder! Give a heads-up, people!

“NTA. He’s taking advantage of your kindness because you’re his only friend. He knows if he lets you know ahead of time that he wants to come, you might say no and then he’s stuck. So he shows up and hopes you’ll have pity and let him in. Telling him to call ahead and ask hasn’t worked for this reason. Don’t let him in if you don’t feel like it. He needs to figure out that you are not his second home. He needs to stop this behavior.”
