Imagine coming home after a long, stressful day at work, only to find your wife’s friend, Berta, has turned your home into her personal crash pad. Berta has a habit of showing up unannounced, often in an emergency, and late at night. She never asks if it’s okay to stay, and neither does the wife. The husband feels like his boundaries and consent are being violated, and he just wants some peace and quiet in his own home. But when he finally confronts his wife, she thinks he’s being cruel and controlling. What’s a man to do? ♂️
