I think I'm correct with this - housemate with knife

[Sheepbaaaa]

Housemate has become increasingly violent and stole an antique knife of mine night before twelve night. NC as embarrassing, one of my friends on here would recognise this instantly so hello.

I know that he has been to prison before but not sure if that was for physical violence or knives.

I do have a right to check, don't I?

Google him

His court date and conviction will show up

This.

The FUCK did I just read?

Come tell me again that I was being dramatic telling the OP to leave the house 🙄

That is shocking and not normal. Plus with the knives concern I would be worried.

where is he now? Where are you now?

Housemates don't ask each other for cuddles. He's already been violent, why are you still there?

Why are you still living with this person?

Twelfth night and an antique knife? Are you writing from 1850?

This dude has a criminal record and pushed you down the stairs. WTF OP!

What the fuck is wrong with you???

you have had multiple knives stolen in your home and been twice assaulted (directly/indirectly) with some stranger you live with and are on here farting about asking if a you have a right to know about his past…. Like who cares????

move out / go stay with family / do whatever

I would want to be as far away from this person as humanly possible…

I'm tapping out now but on the micro chance that this is real:

OP you need to LEAVE the house. Immediately. Your housemate is not safe to be around. Having him blocked on WhatsApp isn't going to save you (though why you needed to block him is probably a whole extra adventure). Make whatever arrangements you need to in order to not be living with a man who has landed you in hospital twice, stolen two knives and who has a criminal past bad enough to have served time.

And wise the fuck up.

Maybe he's taken it to sell it, but either way he's still stolen from you.
You could Google him, in case the case was reported or you could contact your landlord, if you have one, surely they would evict him if he's committed a crime against you

You had to go to a&e with an injury after he ‘cuddled’ you? What did a&e say? Did you report the incident as a crime?

My daughter is twenty and lives in a house share and she only has one knife. She cooks, washes up and put her things away so that she knows where her stuff is and so that kitchen isn't messy.

I'm pretty sure when I was young it wasn't a big deal to me how many knives I owned.

Try reading all of the OP's posts.

Where is he now?

Sheepbaa it makes not a shred of difference if this man has no historic criminal record at all, the fact is that he has been violent to you.
Report him, get yourself out of there and don't let him have the opportunity to do it again.

Is this the guy that you let grope you so he'll let you chat at him for a bit?

@Nonomono he's upstairs. I have deposit etc but low income p/t so might have to drop MSc if I go f/t

You sound very odd. Either this is AI or you are mentally unwell yourself. Who uses an antique knife to slice an apple?!

Regardless of the stealing of a knife, with the increasing violence I’d get him evicted or move myself. You do not want to put yourself at risk of attack.

Oh for heaven's sake this was a knife my grandmother left me and I used it as all other knives were stolen. I was very close to my grandmother.

Who stole your other knifes?

Did you report them?

Try reading all of the OP's posts.

I have.

I don't understand why people are going on about how weird it is she has only one knife (already stolen) and an antique knife.

Why is this the focus of people's posts?

@kittensinthekitchen Sounds familiar to me too.

Has the same person stolen your other knives?

You sound very odd. Either this is AI or you are mentally unwell yourself. Who uses an antique knife to slice an apple?

How fucking offensive are you? Telling someone that they sound odd. So what if she is 'mentally unwell' for a start.
