My house used to be spotless when it was just me and my husband. But then his friend came to stay, and fights and tension started. My husband didn’t care about my feelings or the stress I shared. It all finally worked out when I took matters into my own hands.

When my husband offered his friend a place to stay in our home, he did it without asking me. I had no idea that having his longtime buddy there would turn into a nightmare. The situation forced me to take bold steps to fix things.

This is a photo of the bedroom after my husband’s best friend, Vance, had been staying with us for a few weeks. I can’t describe the smell, but trust me, it was foul and unbearable! Vance moved in because his house was being renovated.
