I have a room rented to a friend and gave them a bed to borrow but now I’m renting out another room for 2.5 months to a cousin who’s coming to intern in my city. I want to ask for the bed back for my cousin to use while they’re here but how should I go about that? This friend that’s renting can be over dramatic and hard to deal with

You can't ask for that back without sounding unreasonable.

Obviously I don't know the details, but "really close friend" and "blatantly disrespect us" really don't go together. Sorry to hear about SO losing job but you have to draw the line somewhere. If someone disrespected me I my own house, that person would be out.of my house and my life within no time.

I wouldn’t take a bed I lent to someone back so I can lend it to another person.

That said, I wouldn’t tolerate someone disrespecting me in my home either.

Was the expectation that the friends use of the bed was going to be just temporary? If I was your friend I would assume it meant I could use that bed until I move out unless stated otherwise.

I’m not sure. I just gave it to him to sleep on for the time being since it was laying around

Good evening all,
With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then. Any similar experience to share?
