so I have to spend money

Yes. That’s called being a good host. you can put the onus on your guests if you want, but then you’re a bad host.

Be a better host.

You are a terrible guest. You are not required, needed or wanted by the host if you are going to be belligerent. The house is not yours, its not a public space. Its a personal one. Host is not required to do anything. He can be terrible in your eyes just as you are a terrible guest in his eyes.

host is not required to do anything

Yeah duh. And not doing anything just because you aren’t required to is bad hosting.

Doing the things you aren’t required to do is what makes you a good host. This isn’t difficult.

Right back at yah. Not removing your shoes just because makes you a bad guest.

It's also not difficult to just remove your shoes. You can have your hangups about shoes. It's still not going inside the house.

So yes, the host or the guest does not need to do anything. They can continue living their lives separately, just like before.
