Well, it was a suggestion, since you have been talking a lot about assertiveness and standing up for yourself more. I do think she is very pushy -- I would be resentful of that, if it were me. To tell you that her husband won't mind the messiness and that he can sit on the couch with a plate is dismissive of YOU, as gently as you tried to tell her that it wasn't your preference. She should have picked up on your cue that you were not comfortable with having a guest. But I understand your sentiments.
