All the self-righteous nimrods on this thread bashing this dude are probably the same types people that let their kids run around out of control screaming at restaurants, yell at fast food workers when they mess up their order, and wear these shoes. Sucks to suck.

Guilty. Its fun to see the grandkids go nuts at the all-you-can eat buffets. They are short enough for the sneeze bar to have no effect and they never wash their hands. They reach in and try and touch everything.

And i wear Crocs.

re: Frustrated Husband

1) Your wife is not great about setting boundaries around your relationship that honor your working from home. Red flag.

2) Your wife's friends sound like a couple of free-loading nasties with badly raised children. That your wife feels so good about setting her/their needs and priorities above yours, in your house, creates another boundary issue AND messages fundamentally that she takes you for granted.

3) Your inability to engage with her about all of this makes me wonder about your ability to communicate together as equals in the relationship.

Couples unwilling to build effective boundaries around their relationship allow tension and resentment to creep in. My biggest question here is whether the two of you respect each other.

re: Frustrated Husband

I agree 100% with the OP.

Although these people are "your guests" , many people think the owner is a grouch if they don't just let people have the run of their house. I can solve that problem. How about we come to YOUR house, and do these things? Would you put on a smile? Would you be ok with everything?

On the other hand, these guests are leaving. If it were me, I would look forward to visiting them, and give some payback. see how they like it.

I think this is a situation for the open robe. It's just what it sounds like. Wander the house wearing your robe, open, with nothing on underneath. It might not change your current situation, but your wife will never invite guests over again.
In college, my dorm was on the ground floor, right near the main drag. Our Resident Advisor was a tour guide for prospective students, and he'd often bring tour groups into our hall to show them a 'typical' dorm. He would often tell us to clean up and behave. We got sick of that crap. So, we'd find out if he was bringing a tour by, and watch him through the window. Just as he entered the hall with his group, someone in our hall would walk down the hall towards the bathroom with their shower supplies, buck naked. He stopped bringing tours by after the second time we did that.
Your body is your greatest defense in this world.

Listen to this guy, show your penis to children.

re: Frustrated Husband

Women are spoiled children. If you let her or her friends walk all over you, they will just continue to do it more often. Expecting women to have any sense of responsibility or self awarness that goes beyond immediate gratification is naive to the psychology of them.

Women have no self esteem, they gain self esteem by following and copying the strongest person around them. If you do what a women wants, you are following her, thus weaker than her, thus inferior, thus not respected.
