In this episode, we dive into the frustrating world of informal living arrangements and the friction that occurs when personal boundaries are treated as mere suggestions. We share the story of a tenant whose quiet home life was turned upside down when her roommate’s partner moved in without warning, consent, or a contribution to the rent.
As the extra inhabitant settled in, the groceries began to settle out. From disappearing snacks to missing meal-prep essentials, we explore the compounding financial and personal tension of supporting a guest who was never invited to stay.
Whether you've dealt with a \"fridge phantom\" or are currently navigating a tricky co-living situation, this episode serves as a cautionary tale on the high cost of ignored boundaries.
