Showing Original Post only (View all)How long would you allow someone to sleep on your couch? [View all]
I have had a friend sleeping on my couch since just before Halloween of last year as he was moving back to my area after living out of state for about 10 years. I have been feeding and buying the necessities for him for the entire time he has been here; but he has made no effort to find a job or a place to live on his own.
At the end of last month when the six month mark had arrived, I told him he could stay for one more month and then he would have to leave. He has family in the area but he has been resistant to speaking much with them although there has been some contact.
He knows he has to leave tomorrow at the latest but I am not entirely convinced he has someplace to go.
So, DUers, what would you do in this situation?

How about "showering" them with rice as they leave and start their new life! nt
