Everyone needs some alone time, whether for their work, hobbies, thoughts or just to relax in a warm bath. So, it's not rude and wrong to want some privacy in your home.

No one wants to feel overcrowded or uncomfortable in his own house. Presumably, everyone likes to host guests and to be someone's guest, it's nice to be surrounded by your beloved ones.

But some visitors, whether friends or relatives, tend to overstay their welcome, and polite reminders may not always be effective for them. One Redditor revealed how her husband's family visited them continually after the lockdowns were over.

She felt trapped in a never-ending cycle of hosting people, cleaning up after them, and hardly getting any time, even space for herself. She finally had enough and decided to take control of the situation.

She made an office/game room from one of the guestrooms. That indicated that some of her in-laws would no longer be able to stay with them and would need to rent a hotel room instead.

Her husband, though, wasn't excited about her idea when he found out what she did. He believed it was a rude move that had crossed a line.

Here is her full story with all details provided, so you can share your opinion with us.

1. It is not a sin to want to feel comfortable in your home

2. She is married and works from home

3. Their house has four bedrooms and was gifted to her by her parents

4. They earn decently and save money for a new house

5. Nick has a large family that likes to visit them, but it has become too often

6. "I feel cramped in my own house," described Redditor.

7. She has so many obligations toward her guests that she doesn't have enough time for anything else.

8. So she decided to change something.

9. She made an office from one of the bedrooms, and that reduced the space for their guests.

10. But it upset her husband very much.

11. He demanded to turn it back into the bedroom like it previously was.

12. And they had a fight.

13. Here are more details about their misunderstanding

14. He must have known what she was doing.

15. Here is the number of visitors:

16. She evidently needs separate office space.

17. "It is your home and your comfort has absolute priority on the one of any guests"

18. It's undoubtedly too much.

19. It's an invasion!

20. It's a marriage problem that needs to be solved.

21. "Seems like he is just taking advantage of you."

22. The husband is acting truly disrespectfully

23. "At the end of the day, the house is yours."

24. "Tell your husband he is responsible for the hosting"

25. Two spare bedrooms are more than enough for guests.

26. The office is more important

27. "It is completely normal to use your spaces for personal comfort"

28. "Don’t buy a house with him until you sort out his family issue."

29. It seems so

30. "I'd be done at this point."

31. He should have discussed it with her first, it's not fine

A good marriage and a sound relationship mean a lot of communication and mutual understanding. This couple clearly has a serious problem that needs to be solved.

But do you have some advice for her? What should she do to deal with her husband and his large family that constantly visits them?
