To say he can't come to my house?

I'm having two old colleagues round to my house tonight for drinks, they've just text and said another ex colleague has asked if they can come too? AIBU to say no?

Context and so I don't drip feed:

My partner is away for a week, they're skint, waiting for payday so I said to come to mine instead of pub, I've plenty of wine in anyways.
We normally meet at pub, and on a couple of occasions this guy has come along/asked to come along, they've messaged me to ask, and I've always said yes. Because no reasonable reason not to and excol's feel put on spot being asked in person.
None of us really like this guy. He's heavily in to drugs, likes to argue with people a lot, is one of those people you can't really get a word in edgeways with most of the time - so catching up with my old colleagues becomes impossible as he dominates the conversation and talks over us whenever we try and change subject. It's so draining.

Anyways, he was also accused of getting in to bed with a mutual friend of ours whilst they were asleep, not sure what happened - he admits getting into their bed but states that was all...

Anyways, I really don't like this guy and don't want him to come round to my house, know where I live and also know that I'll be alone for the next week. I may be over reacting but it's an old creaky house and I feel on edge when I'm by myself at the best of times haha... ridic I know.

So how can I message back no... I have to guess that this person might see my message back ...

You don't owe this guy anything and he's muscling in on your time. You are well within your rights to say no. He shouldn't be pushing so hard.

Not this time no. I want to catch up with just you guys.

Personally I think your colleagues need to stand up to him and say no always.

Penguincake you are so right. I hate that that's how I am and many others I know...
I watch too many documentaries about people who stand up to these types and have an unfortunate fate... rare I know but it's scary how little can tip someone over the edge...

More likely to be assaulted if he's in your house. NO

Well done saying no. Perhaps in future your ex colleagues should be vague when he asks what their plans are. He will get the message.
