He’s fucking locked me out.

859 replies

FuckingFreezing1 · 13/12/2024 22:04

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.

He’s at a house “chilling” with his no mark friends. I’m still in McDonald’s. This isn’t my life this isn’t my life what the fuck is if

YOU prioritise you. .n FFS,do NOT engage wi king cunt any further.screenshot save,share msg wi polis. His reign of being the big man is over.

pikkumyy77 · 14/12/2024 02:04

Correct. Let this be the last night you beat yourself up for letting him shit all over you and meekly asking for more.

FuckingFreezing1 · 14/12/2024 02:03

I’m 30 next year. This has been my 20’s. Maybe 30 is the new 18 and I can start all over again.

This seems the way to go to me, or even break in and get your stuff. He will be left with the bill not you.

i don’t think I have ever been so sad and so angry at a MN post ever. I am brokenhearted for you. If I was your mum I would scoop you up and you could stay with me forever rather than go back to him. Do you feel able to call your mum or do you have a sibling you could call?

I'm so sorry your life has been reduced by this horrendous man.

I speak from experience. Sadly, but now just get mad I stayed as long as I did.

FuckingFreezing1 · 14/12/2024 02:02

I think this will have to be breaking point. I can’t hack it anymore. I’ll be doing this same shit in my 30’s, 40’s 50’s and then before I know it I’ll be a sad lonely old lady who has nothing to show for her life but the piss poor self worth and disregard from this.

hope you’re doing ok OP, what a horrible man you’re partner is. I hope that you find the strength to to leave him as soon as possible, you deserve so much better than this.

Incakewetrust · 14/12/2024 01:59

I would also text saying I've called the police.
To be honest, I WOULD actually call the police. They could probably trace his phone and get your keys back for you

MuchuseasaChocolateTeapot · 14/12/2024 01:58

Mumtobabyhavoc · 14/12/2024 01:53

It's not, so fucking sad. You're completely discombobulated from constant abuse. Who cares about a keyring? Call the police. Explain you're in an a abusive relationship and you need help to get into your place to get your essentials so you can leave. Pack a bag or two and don't look back. Go to a shelter if you have to. Stop enabling. He's given you time to get out and you're wasting it going in circles online.

CalicoPusscat · 14/12/2024 01:57

@Mumtobabyhavoc do the police do that? I definitely think it's a good idea to have the relationship registered as abusive. If I were OP I'd text him afterwards and say "police informed" but that's just me, I'd be hopping mad.

OP can't stay in McD ALL night

BeNavyCrab · 14/12/2024 01:57

What an absolute piece of trash. He's got no respect or concern for you, it is all about him. The only good thing that has come from this is that he's showing you unequivocally who he is. You have to leave, this isn't a healthy relationship but you know that. I wish you all the strength to leave him and get yourself safe. I don't think there's anything gained by arguing about what he's doing to you. If he can't see it now with you literally out in the cold on the street, he's not going to see it later. Even if he was super apologetic and said it's never going to happen again, I'd struggle to believe him!

PiggyPigalle · 14/12/2024 01:57

Please don't just leave the flat. If you are both on the tenancy and he doesn't pay the rent, they'll come after you for it.
Sort it in the days to come now you know you're done with him.
Hate to think of you stuck there instead of being in bed.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 14/12/2024 01:53

FuckingFreezing1 · 14/12/2024 01:34

I’m not battling him for the flat he can have it. I’ll talk to my mum. I just want my keys so I can get my stuff. This is so fucking sad but I want my keyrings, they’re from places I’ve visited. During happier times, before I knew him.

FuckingFreezing1 · 14/12/2024 01:52

I don’t even want an argument. I just want my keyrings and my stuff.
He’s not getting an argument out of me, I just want to go home, pack my case and leave. That’s all I want.

I am furious for you. This is outrageous. Please enjoy telling him there'll be no more 'mithering' from you, he can relax away without you. Tosser.

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

OP posts:
raspberryripplecheesecake · 14/12/2024 01:50

Chilling with his friends? What an absolute shit. He could fall asleep and who knows when he will turn up. No-one has the right to make anyone feel this crap.

Do you know where?
You are entitled to ring the police and tell them your partner won't let you back in your property.
If you don't want to actually do that, tell him you are about to. This is abuse now.

SuperLoudPoppingAction · 14/12/2024 01:49

I hope you can get into your house soon, op.
It seems like he's deliberately staying out later and later as some kind of power play. He seems so nasty.
Hopefully this can be a turning point for you. You don't deserve this and it is so much nicer to be on your own than with someone so horrible.

CalicoPusscat · 14/12/2024 01:48

Omg the nerve of the man. What a fucking self obsessed idiot. Has he given any indication of when he will stop 'chilling'?

If your mum is back please go there because he might even stay the night.

Thevelvelletes · 14/12/2024 01:46

Perhaps talk things through with your mum and take stock of your situation.hopefully the HA can rehouse you if you give up the flat.perhaps someone with HA work experience could advise the best way to do this.
Wishing you all the best op.

I'm gutted for you. He's a twunt.
On a practical front, Why don't you practice here what you want to text him? People here have often great ways to put things that help & reduces him evading the question.
I think you're at the point that you need to make it crystal clear about the situation, if not to even remind you when later you feel weak, as seems like you're already done with him.
I'd be tempted to send (but appreciate you might be fearful of repercussions)
'You said you'd be home by 9 so that's the only reason you were trusted with my keys, the only keys to the flat. You've stayed out purposely, despite me telling you repeatedly you've locked me out in the cold for 4 hours. Your actions are cruel. You could've dropped the keys with me hours ago. Instead you have ignored me & I can't be in my home, sleep or go to work'
I'd like to end it with fuck you, but I might just do that in my head.

I wouldn't even go to the effort of explaining what he did and how it hurt. He doesn't care.

Just leave..he doesn't deserve your effort of an explanation.

I just don’t want it. I want a new start.

And you can have it OP and you will feel so much happier.

Leaving him will be the biggest kindness you can do for yourself… and the best Christmas present!! He treats you with utter contempt… and you deserve so much more. Don’t give him another 6 years of your life.

You mentioned your mum.. can you stay with her whilst you get back on your feet?

You also mention a lack of friends… can I ask why you feel that you don’t have any? Is this something you’d like to change?

Fair enough. Bad night to be making decisions, well other than dumping him.
"It's not fair." He sounds like an eight year old.
