He’s fucking locked me out.

Basically this. I’ve text him as I can’t get in, I’ve just finished work. He’s on a works Xmas party.

Said he was setting off at 8:45 and he’d be home for 9 so I said cool, take the key.

Now it’s 10pm and I’m sat in a fucking bus shelter because he’s locked me out and won’t come back with the keys, he’s out and apparently I’m unreasonable for asking him to come home to at least let me in.

I haven’t a clue what to do, it’s 4°, my street is poorly lit and this place doesn’t shut til 12. I can’t afford a lock change so that’s out of the question and my mums not in. So I literally have to just wait.

Not helpful now but order yourself a key box online not too expensive maybe £10 and get an extra key cut and keep in there! It’s been a life saver with us with 4 teens that constantly loose their keys!

no need. Ditch the abusive fucker and the op is sorted.

It’s not worth the aggro turning up. I can’t be bothered listening to the shit that will last about 3 days and result in me apologising.

Why take the shit? Why not break up with him given what you've said about how long you've wanted out? Cut your losses.

He has my keys. The reason there’s one set of keys is because he lost the spare.

Why are you enabling him? He lost his key. You don't go giving him your key and put yourself at his mercy to bugger off on a Christmas party.

Another woman enabling an incompetent undeserving male. Depressing Confused

WiddlinDiddlin · 14/12/2024 04:13

Go home.

Smash window.

Get in, get stuff, get out and go to your Mums.

Never speak to the nasty cunt again.

Dwrcegin · 14/12/2024 03:58

I hope you were able to go to your Mam's house. Make your 30's special and leave him. You deserve better.

@FuckingFreezing1 .if you can-will u update let us know your in outtaa the cold/safe keepin you in my thots.x

CalicoPusscat · 14/12/2024 03:48

@oakleaffy I love your old rocking horse! What a beauty.

@FuckingFreezing1 I had a lovely evening by myself eating lots of food and drinking cups of tea. Very peaceful. I'm not saying that to be mean, but you can have this too when he's out of the picture. You don't need this hassle and he's interfering with your livelihood.

oakleaffy · 14/12/2024 03:45

@FuckingFreezing1 I’m outraged on your behalf.

What a grade A waster he is.

A selfish Scrote.

Go back to your Mum’s.

Can’t believe this piece of shit lost your Dad’s ashes ring.
Was it a gold one? Bet the druggy Scrote sold or pawned it.

So sorry you are going through this.

FuckingFreezing1 · 13/12/2024 22:34

More chance of stepping in rocking horse shit than him paying for anything like that.

Our old rocking horse says
“leave the Scrote”
even a child knows not to lose 🔑 keys - He’s a careless Scrote

He’s fucking locked me out.
CanelliniBeans · 14/12/2024 03:33

@FuckingFreezing1 you need to hold on to this as motivation to actually throw him out.
Don't forget this and just go back to 'normal'.
Don't give up the flat if it's in your name. Get rid of him.
As you said you've spent your 20s with him. Don't let this be your next ten years. You'd be happier alone.

FuckingFreezing1 · 14/12/2024 01:50

No he never does. It’ll be all night now. I’m gonna have to text in sick. I cannot believe this is my fucking Friday. He’s always done this. If ive text him too much (once or twice) on nights out this is what he does. It is a punishment, it’s all power punishment blame.
I feel degraded

Please lose him and rebuild your self esteem. You can do this.
I wouldn't let him have the flat (unless you really can't stand the place).

I'd just not cut a spare key, and do exactly what he's done to you.

Take the 1 key and go to your mums, block him on all SM and phone and see how he likes it.💐

marmia1234 · 14/12/2024 03:22

You said you have money. Call a cab and go to your mums. If she's not there, break something ( window /door jamb/ window frame/ door panel / whatever), until you are inside.It;s not as hard as people think it is. Have a big warm drink then go to bed with heaps of quilts on. Deal with everything else in the morning.Call in sick for the day tomorrow, and get everything sorted. From now on have a key to your mums , I've always had one - they are also handy for any medical emergency your mum may have , years down the line presumably, but you can let the ambos in.
Keep calling your mum!!!

ApolloandDaphne · 14/12/2024 03:17

Oh OP. You don't need to live like this. I hope your mum is in and you can go there.

FuckingFreezing1 · 14/12/2024 02:26

Oh it defo is. This has got sniff written all over it.

Knew a chef like this. He became hell for the neighbouring flats too. It was the threat of eviction that gave his partner the courage to stop covering for him and get the police to take him away.

He's only holding it together because you're responsible for everything. He ought to be done for drug driving if he uses the car while high.

pestowithwalnuts · 14/12/2024 03:06

Firstly I hope you had enough cash to get a coffee..it's bloody cold tonite.
Youv got to think to yourself ,' can I live the rest of my life like this '.. And you know you can't . You deserve much much better than this . You are worth far more than what this arsehole is giving you.
Keep strong lovely. And keep us posted. Some of us are still online if you need to talk

beachcitygirl · 14/12/2024 02:56

I'm so sorry you're in the situation but for the love of god - grow a backbone & practically until you can leave - get a spare set and hide them in your garden/or doorway.

Badgerandfox227 · 14/12/2024 02:53

OP I’m so sorry you’re in this situation. Please call your mom and ring the housing association in the morning/Monday to discuss access and next steps. If you pay the bills, he should be the one to leave.

Please take no more of this man’s behaviour towards you. Having no one is better than this.

CalicoPusscat · 14/12/2024 02:52

@Pinkbonbon she can say he was out doing cocaine and reneged on a previous promise to be back by 9pm which meant she was locked out in the cold and had to miss work. And that she's leaving him ASAP. All of this is accurate.

Admittedly I'd be feeling a bit vengeful in this scenario!

I would hope they'd understand.

Ipadannie · 14/12/2024 02:52

@FuckingFreezing1 I hope you're OK and got hold of your Mum. Can you stay with her til Monday then speak to the housing association? Please take care.

Thevelvelletes · 14/12/2024 02:52

Hopefully she's been in touch with her mum and she can help her.
Those of you staying up hopefully you can all handhold op.

Pinkbonbon · 14/12/2024 02:48

CalicoPusscat · 14/12/2024 02:43

Actually if you get a police ref you can contact landlords and say you had to leave because of domestic abuse so you need to be taken off the tenancy

She won't get a police reference for being locked out of the house whilst he is out though. Locked in, maybe. Or if he comes back and kicks off and she call them. But even then it may just be recorded as a lovers quarrel.

OP won't call the police. Either too worn down or scared of him. She should though.

JustJoinedRightNow · 14/12/2024 02:46

I would call the police actually OP and ask for help going home to get your things. He sounds awful

So sorry you're in this situation,I hope you have the strength to leave ASAP
