Sick of fiend inviting me to stay?

Any activity we do my friend will always say “you should stay at mine”.

I like meeting up with friend but I don’t feel the need to constantly stay at her house. I’m an adult I have my own house.

Like we met for lunch and a couple of drinks (in a town that’s about same distance for both of us to get to but in opposite directions) and she asked if I was staying at hers.

… Like why would I carry around an overnight bag to stay at hers? And stay at hers when it would be the same distance for me to get home?

That’s just one example. She doesn’t live alone either so it’s not a loneliness thing.

How do you continue to stay no. Because she asks this every single time.

Clicked on to see who was the fiend. Have to admit.

I hope there isn't a domestic violence issue at home. If she needs someone to deflect the attention off of her, it might be the reason she keeps asking you to stay.

Yeah fine, but I doubt every time you meet up there’s an expectation for you to stay over.

Friend stop asking me to stay over at yours when we go out for the evening. I have my own bed and I'm 30/40/50 (delete as appropriate) ... now.

I knew this would be said. There isn’t. And 70% of the time I stay over he’s not there.

Same question. Same answer. She might even twig eventually!

But she is a fiend...

Puffykins · 24/10/2022 21:32

I had a friend who did this. It was usually because she wanted to show off something new that I would need to see in real life. Often several things. We're no longer close friends.

Pixiedust1234 · 24/10/2022 21:32

Never stay overnight with fiends. It won't end well.

BattenburgDonkey · 24/10/2022 21:32

Just keep saying no thanks when you don’t want to, it’s not a hard task or a big deal. I don’t get why you sound so grumpy about it.

Maybe just say "Thanks, but I'm actually not a fan of staying at other people's houses. I prefer to wake up in my own bed". That way it's nothing personal to her and applies to anyone who asked you to stay over.
