Would you allow your partner to work from your house all the time?

Nobody wants to be locked out of their lives. We all need space and time to be ourselves in our own home, no matter if we're in a relationship or not. You need your space. Especially if you're used to having it most of the time. The woman in this story was protective of her own space, which made sense for her. She was used to going it alone, and didn't want someone else swooping in and taking up all of your resources. Just because someone asked you to do something doesn't mean that you have to do it. You're allowed to set clear boundaries within your relationships and stick to them no matter what. Just because someone has entered your life in a romantic sense doesn't mean that they get full control over what you do and where you are. The woman in this story was tired of having her boyfriend constantly take over her space. When someone is working from home and has to be on the phone a lot, it can be hard to share the same space. You want to make sure you're not stepping on their toes or interrupting their time. But if you're in your own house, this can get old pretty quickly. You don't want to feel like you're walking on eggshells in your own home.
