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

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?

Quite a few people on this thread haven't been very kind and have reading difficulties

Kindly, I don't think this is the case. I think it would be easier if you could say why you have this odd living arrangement with someone who makes you feel so unsafe. Your writing style and use of words doesn't make it clear, and you keep changing your story.

Do you really have hypothermia?

Can you not extricate yourself from this and find somewhere else to live?

Yes I remember your other thread where you let him touch you because you wanted company. I didn’t think it was a ‘cuddle.’ Anyway I would make sure you were not doing that any more.

Ah right thanks for this

I think OP just means she feels the cold, not that she has clinical hypothermia with a core temperature below 35 degrees.

Look OP, this man isn’t treating you well or making you feel safe. The police telling you he has or hasn’t been convicted of knife crime is going to change that, and neither is arguing with posters about whose fault it was you were pushed down the stairs.

Listen to everyone on this thread and your last one, and move out.

You can ask the police, but I don't think they will disclose his criminal record, but they will tell you if he has one
Either way, if you feel intimidatedreport his behaviour to the landlord and move out asap

OP, if you could get away from this living situation for a while, without losing your job, that would be a really good thing that you would be doing for yourself.
Maybe you are used to living on the edge like this with a criminal harassing you, and stealing from you and physically abusing you, but for most of us, the scene you set would be a nightmare.
I hope the police can help you and you can get help to make the difficult decisions which are now urgent. Good luck !

No you haven't read this properly. He pushed me at the top of the landing so that resulted in A&E visits.

A harsh cuddle didn't. I only left my grandmother's knife out for a few hours early morning and heard him go to the kitchen at 3am at which point he stole it. I have hypothermia so frequently fall asleep on the sofa where it's warmer.

Quite a few people on this thread haven't been very kind and have reading difficulties so this is the last from me, I'd rather speak to the police about his exact knife background.

You have hypothermia? Permanently?

Why do I get the impression this man is your airtime but you pretend he isn’t?

This thread is truly one of the strangest I have ever read (and that’s saying something). None of it makes much sense.

Your violent housemate is responsible for injuries so severe that you had to go to A&E twice? He has a past that includes prison and you cuddle with him because he asks you to? He stole your only knife and your other knives have also been stolen? And you have hypothermia? What on earth?

TheShellBeach · 06/01/2024 14:41

Not quite.
She allows him to cuddle her if he allows her to sit and talk to him.
It's mutually beneficial, as it were.

So much to unpick, but how many knives have gone missing?

And how long have you had hypothermia for?
