Indeed, I wish there was a good way for me to say no. Normally I don't have too much trouble, but with her it would be far worse to tell her she can't stay with me for one night. The problem is that when I decline an invitation to hang out with them or say she can't come over or whatever she decides it's because I have something to hide from her. And obviously it must be that he and I are dating again, he's cheating on her. She just knows it.

I suggested to him that perhaps it would be better if she goes home tonight since I have homework to get done and I don't really have space for them anyway. Plus her kids picked up lice at daycare and that makes them the last people on Earth I want in my apartment. He kinda caught me off guard and I didn't really have the chance to say no. I'll just have to be more with it in the future.
