Times When Good Intentions Resulted in Disastrous Outcomes

Many of us have that one friend we love but know we could never live with. Whether it’s different personalities, cleaning routines, or lifestyles, keep that boundary in mind if they ever ask to stay on your couch. We naturally want to help friends when they fall on hard times, but inviting them to “temporarily” live with you can cause more harm than good to your friendship. 

The main issue is that they might never leave! Giving a friend time to “get back on their feet” can result in them lounging around your apartment all day in their underwear. Didn’t they say they were looking for a job? Hm. Overstepping a boundary like this can get so bad that a friendship can end, which is unfortunate.
