'Jake is sounding like a jealous sister wife': Man lives with best friend and his wife on subsidized rent, chews out wife for taking a half day at work

Having a roommate can be a difficult situation to navigate, especially if one of you is third-wheeling. I know plenty of couples who live with one other person, and it can work if you're conscious about it. As the couple, you have to make sure you're not PDA-ing too hard in front of your roommate. And as the roommate, you have to assert yourself as an equal third. This balance can be tricky, though, as it can quickly feel like its two against one. 

But what happens when the couple is just doing a favor to their friend? This is what happened in this story, when a couple opened their home to one of their best friends as a gesture of good faith. But the dynamic between him and his friend's wife/ second roommate became fraught when their houseguest had some choice words about her work. Read on for the story and see what you think.
