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.

Well I'm sorry but it's partly you own fault for giving him your keys, if he's stupid enough to lose his keys then he should be the one who's locked out, also when a man said he's going for a quick drink he can't be relied on to still to it, not all but most of them are unreliable.
There is no way anyone would get my keys, they'd be waiting for me not the other way around and why can't you get the keys from him. ?

After 6 years of shit like this who’s to say I don’t hate myself.

You are worth more than this.

Velvian · 13/12/2024 23:13

Tell him you've bumped into an old boyfriend and you're staying over at his.

What time does your mum get in? Does she hide a key anywhere? Is there a hotel nearby? You sound really fed up and this might be tge end of the road for you.

marmia1234 · 13/12/2024 23:12

Ideas
1Ring your mum. If she's out surely she will either come straight home or transfer you some money . You don't have a key to her house?
2 If it's a ground floor flat I'd jimmy a window open, if you can't get hold of your mum.
3.Get yourself buzzed into the building and knock on the door of any woman that you know in the block, even if it's just to say hi. Explain the situation and ask if you could just sit on her lounge for a couple of hours . I'd let you in.

CocoapuffPuff · 13/12/2024 23:12

Would the police (non emergency number) be able to help? I know its a long shot but he's left you in a very dangerous situation. You can't possibly be safe hanging around for possibly all night alone in December. It wouldn't hurt to call them, to ask for help?

TheCatterall · 13/12/2024 23:11

@FuckingFreezing1 i know you are knackered and it’s freezing and it’s all
shite - but please conserve you battery life in case you need it.

when he comes home - just leave it. Rest. And tomorrow- quietly start making plans for a future without this soul sucking arsehole.

you deserve better. You are a fabulous lovable sausage. Get yourself sorted slowly away and walk away from him leaving him wondering what the fuck happened. Good luck.

also - for now. Maybe try wandering a bit to stay warm? x

HollyBaubles77 · 13/12/2024 23:11

In the same breath, you would be lambasting OP for not giving her ‘darling’ partner the only key as he was going to be home before her and the horror that he may be locked out in the cold. See where I’m going with this. Men apologists, go away now!!!

Florol · 13/12/2024 23:11

Hey @FuckingFreezing1 I hope you are OK?

Wonderi · 13/12/2024 23:10

If you can afford it I would stay in a local travelodge or something.

No way would I be wanting to see him today.

I understand why he has the key if he was planning to go home earlier than you but I think this was a very silly decision because he has already lost multiple keys and if he loses this one then neither of you can get in.

At least once you’ve separated, you won’t ever have to deal with this shit again.

ShilohTikva · 13/12/2024 23:10

Yeah if you live In a flat block, like others have said see if you can buzz at least into the building so you won't get sick in cold

NotStayingIn · 13/12/2024 23:09

But why do you keep giving him your keys??? You wouldn’t be locked out if you’d just kept YOUR key. He’s a useless twat, but you are enabling him and simultaneously fucking yourself over. Surely that’s on you.

Mumtobabyhavoc · 13/12/2024 23:02

It kinda is... 🤷‍♀️

It is absoloutley not the OPs fault that her OP does these things.

It is under the OPs control as to whether she accepts this / stays with him. But his actual behaviour is not her fault.

Can I just say some of the replies here are not just unhelpful and unfeeling, they are downright hostile.

You posters clearly have no concept of what it is like to be in OP's shoes. Some of you reveal a deep lack of sympathy let alone empathy, instead you're sitting here complacently, smug about your ability to manage your own life 'better', loftily judging her organisational skills and decisions.

You should be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

This. Thank god for decent people. Some posters on here should be ashamed of themselves

BitOutOfPractice · 13/12/2024 23:08

Hey OP I hope you are somewhere warm and safe now.

I think this might be your final straw moment. I hope it is so that some good comes out of it and you leave him.

As for the people shouting at the OP, ffs are you all so perfect? Back off.

Wow! Does it make you feel good to be such a cold nasty person with that stupid fake fucking shrug?

FoxtonFoxton · 13/12/2024 23:06

Personally I'd get a taxi/bus to the nearest hotel, stay over and take the opportunity to have a good long think about how best to split up. If you can't do a hotel, go to an all night supermarket/café/McDonalds just to keep warm and with other people for now. If he's this much of an utter cock you need to start 2025 without him.

SecondUsername4me · 13/12/2024 23:05

I'd be tempted to book a cheap room, go check in, and turn off your phone. Let him sweat a day or two.

My thoughts exactly! I can't believe how cruel people can be.
@FuckingFreezing1 I really hope you can find a solution not only for tonight (you really can't stay outside) and for the rest of your life. Can you move back to your mum's for a while? He's such a selfish bastard and you deserve so much better.

Absolutely 💯 this. People are being very unkind. Not everyone can forward plan or organise well, and perhaps don't always think things through logically. It doesn't make them bad or worse people. They are still human at the end of the day, and deserve kindness and empathy 💗

I hope you are ok, OP. Please get yourself somewhere safe and warm, and look after yourself 🥰

Maurepas · 13/12/2024 23:04

As said above - try ringing other flats' bells so at least you'll be inside if they let you in. It's 5 degrees in London so probably colder where you are. Also there is a new flu epidemic starting, a neuro virus epidemic too and you are probably weakening your immunity by staying in cold (although I am not a doctor) also is it safe out there? And who knows how late he will be - 1am, 2 am, 5 am - later??

LozzaChops101 · 13/12/2024 23:03

Rooting for you to remember your anger tonight and make the changes you need to!

Unbelievable that he’d put you in this position, I’m sorry.

NunyaBeeswax · 13/12/2024 23:03

Why are you living this way op?

Here's what should have happened dwoth a decent human being as a partner..

"Can u bring the key?'
"Of course, I'll be there asap"
The end.

Bluntly, Why are you with a cunt?

BeAzureAnt · 13/12/2024 23:03

I know your mum isn't in, but can you call her and get her to pick you up so you can get some sleep where it is warm?

stripypanda100 · 13/12/2024 23:03

not that you should have to OP but to keep warm... can you not take a bus ride for a while?
i would be furious at his selfishness and kick the bastard out at first chance
If you did pay for an emergency locksmith you would have new keys ... so he would be locked out in the cold later when he decided to come back home🤣🤣🤣
Ahhhh KARMA is great

You are in a shit relationship @FuckingFreezing1 don't hate on yourself, you deserve better than the dickhead you are with. Have you got family and friends nearby you can stay with? Can you afford to rent somewhere else and move out from him or move in with your parents?
