AITH for not letting my cousin stay at my place after they lied about how long they needed?
I (M/F, 23) live alone in a small apartment. Recently, my cousin (26) asked if they could stay with me for “a few days” because they were between places. I agreed because I wanted to help out family.
Those few days turned into almost two weeks, and there was no real effort from them to find another place or give me a clear timeline. They also started being pretty messy and not respecting my space, which made me uncomfortable in my own home.
When I finally told them they needed to leave by the end of the week, they got upset and said I was kicking them out with nowhere to go and embarrassing them in front of the family.
Now some relatives are saying I should’ve been more patient since they’re going through a tough time, but I feel like I was taken advantage of.
So AITH for telling my cousin they can’t stay anymore?
