Have you ever had the demanding house guest come and stay at your house? You know, the one who seems to have lots of requests despite the fact that they are getting a free place to stay? Recently I had a house guest who said to me, “Am I going to get my own room?” I said, “Yes, you are going to sleep on an air mattress in my office. We only have two bedrooms, and the second bedroom is basically Sonja’s storage room.

Whenever you’re a guest at someone else’s house – be it a friend’s or a woman’s – you have to make yourself small. You have to respect their space.
