We all go through difficult times.

If you had a friend who was going through a difficult time, would you let them stay with you for a few days? What if a few days became much longer?

This woman opened her home to a college friend going through a rough time.

Her friend said it would only be a few days, but she was there for three weeks!

And it wasn’t easy.

Read the story below to find out what happened.

AITA for kicking out my jobless friend who turned a “few days” visit into a three-week stay?

I (24F) have been friends with my college roommate for 6 years.

We were super close in school, but grew apart after graduation.

She moved across the country.

We mostly kept in touch through social media.

This woman received a message from her college roommate.

Last month, she messaged me, saying she was going through a rough patch. She lost her job, and her boyfriend dumped her.

She wanted to visit for “a few days to clear her head.”

I felt bad and said yes.

Her friend stayed with her for three weeks.

Well, those “few days” turned into three weeks.

She’s been sleeping on my couch, eating my food, and using my stuff.

And she was not contributing anything.

I work from home, and she’s constantly interrupting my workday with her drama.

She suggested that maybe it’s time to go home.

I suggested maybe it’s time to look for a ticket home.

She burst into tears.

She said she has nowhere to go, and I’m her “only support system.”

Her friend disrupted her Zoom meeting.

Yesterday, I had an important Zoom meeting.

I specifically asked her to be quiet for one hour.

Halfway through, she starts blasting music and FaceTiming someone in the living room.

My boss definitely heard, and I was mortified.

So, she snapped and told her to go home.

That night, I finally snapped.

I told her she needed to leave by the end of the week.

I even offered to help buy her plane ticket.

She called me heartless. She said a real friend would support her “no matter what.”

Her friend started posting stuff on social media about “true friends.”

She’s been posting vague stuff on social media about “finding out who your true friends are during hard times.”

I feel guilty because she is going through a lot.

But I’m also exhausted from the constant emotional labor and lack of boundaries.

Now, she’s wondering if she did the right thing.

My apartment is tiny.

I never signed up to be someone’s indefinite crash pad and therapist.

So, AITA for kicking out my friend when she’s down on her luck?

Her friend is a mooch. She’s right to kick her out.
