We would have loved more respect to our own space and boundary, and our host not to force her own agenda on us.
On the check in day, we arrived 15 minutes earlier. My bf called Martha just to inform her that we have arrived. Martha immediately shout at us and said that we said we arrive at 3 and it’s not 3 yet. She was shouting like crazy, and my bf’s dad (who was dropping us off) said just hang up, because you can’t talk to this person with any sense.
Once we checked in, Martha had been talking and talking. With the taking off shoes part, we were fine because we understand and would kindly follow. But she kept talking and insist that she takes us to this restaurant, which I kindly refused and politely told her that she just need to give us the name of the restaurant, but she still insist that she walk us there. This was extremely uncomfortable. All this talk was in our very small room, with the 3 of us, we don’t even have space to put down our luggage. I had to kindly ask her to give us some private time for her to leave our room, and she said she’ll wait for us outside!
Once she took us out of the apartment, my bf repeatedly told her that he grew up here and lived a few blocks away, she totally ignored it and keep on talking her own talks and insist to take us to that restaurant! That really annoyed my bf because he really had so many plans to take me to his favorite restaurants and show me Mexico City. I privately told my bf let’s just walk there with her (because doesn’t seem like she’ll leave us alone on this) and not going in. So we walked with her to this restaurant, at door I kindly told her that we have other plans and we won’t go in. Now, she start to hold on my arms and insist that i had to go in and see if I like it or “if it pleases your eyes”. At this moment, my bf really can’t hold it any more, he told her that we really have our own plans and we are leaving. That’s how we got out of this.
On the 2nd night, we came home really late like 5am. We were just going to walk super quietly into our own room and sleep, once we walked in, we saw Martha. She frowned at us and said you forgot to turn off your light. I immediately said I’m so sorry That I forgot. She then told me that She needs to talk to me. I was shocked why she needs to talk to me. My bf really didn’t like it as this is very creepy. Who needs a lecture on our busy trip! We really just wanted to be left alone by her, and that she doesn’t force her own agenda on us!!! We were so quite and didn’t even make a sound in her house. We were rarely home and were only there to have short sleep and showers. Then she wrote me a long message the next day about how she felt that my bf doesn’t want her to talk to me freely and she needs to talk to me. It’s very simple, we only stay 3 nights, have our own very busy plans to visit family and friends. and please just leave us alone. Martha was very confrontational so I couldn’t say these things to her, because I don’t want to get into an argument with her as it seems will be no ending from her.
We are very quite and private people. Martha is formidable and we felt like being bullied at this stay. We were extremely quite and didn’t even make a sound in her house. We were rarely home and were only there to have short sleep and showers. We really just wanted to be left alone, and that Martha do Not force her agenda on us. We do not want be invaded into our own personal boundaries
