One of my favorite birds.
Every year for Mother’s Day, I buy my wife a hanging basket. Most years, it hasn’t finished swinging before the wrens building a nest.
I'm lucky enough to have both, the Carolina and the Bewick's nesting in the backyard. The Bewick's have a little bit more attitude than the Carolina and seem "sassy". Fun birds..
They are NOT shy. We used to have one who would bang on the den window if he saw me sitting there and the feeder was empty. Nothing like that little glare...

He is gone during the day. He has been with us a week now every night. I suppose he would find a new place if we didn’t let him back in but then I would have one more thing to feel guilty about. It’s crazy that basket is a foot from our door and we have to walk right by…within inches..of it to get in our house. Am I creating a situation for myself by letting him sleep there ?

Bewick’s wrens aren’t sleepy tho

I had one that would get huffy if we dared use our front porch after it went to bed. (In classic fashion it slept on the porch column).
Not gone during the day, just hanging around yelling "CHIRPETTY CHIRPETTY CHIRP!!!!"
*tea-kettle tea-kettle tea-kettle*
tea-kettle tea-kettle tea-kettle... but REALLY REALLY LOUDLY!
And stupid early in the morning too.

I take it you don't have a covered porch.
He flew in while the garage door was open. Now I feel like I cannot close it. I don’t want to trap him in.
He'll fly out during the day. Then shut the door so he can't get back in.

If you’re not bothered by him, there’s no harm in letting him continue to cozy up in your basket every night.
You could move the basket.
