Locked out of DH's garage

Am silently fuming as DH has converted our garage into his 'studio' and refuses to give me a key. It has been about a year now and I didn't think much of it first, we agreed it was his place to work, is filled with his things and I had no desire to go in there.
However it has been dawning on me that I don't like being locked out of part of my house. There have been occasions when I wanted to access things (like blank DVDs or paint brushes) and couldn't get them.

I do go in there with him but I have asked for a key, several times over the last few months and he says I don't need one, it is just his stuff, he doesn't want me in there going through things etc.

If he had just given me one first I would have no interest but now it has become this big issue and his refusal is making me want to go through it (which is not like me, I know he has porn there & I don't mind, but he knows I know this so must be something else right?)

So AIBU to want a key, surely if he had nothing to hide he would just give me one?

Actually, for what it is worth :)

My STBXH locked our garage for well over a year.

Occasionally he forgot to lock it up :)

It was stocked with a bit of food, a lot of tools and some booze :)

I could not resist helping myself to a couple of bottles of very rare wine, but then, I had paid half towards them and he had the rest so he got the better deal lol

I do make fun a bit but it was not good at the time so I do sympathise with the OP.

It will be where he keeps the heads of his previous wives ...

Just read the whole thread - and no real conclusion!

OP, hope you are ok. It is weird and wrong to have a part of your own house which you aren't "allowed" access to. IMHO, there should be no need for a "discussion" about this, he gives you a key and that's that.

Have you managed to get inside the shed on your own yet?

Did we ever get an answer

Heymacarena · 09/11/2013 08:17

I don't think so.

I hadn't realised it was almost a year on from the OP!

Sallyingforth · 09/11/2013 10:27

We haven't heard any more because she's now locked in there.
If new wife asks the same question on MN we must warn her.

RedSoloCup · 06/09/2015 22:58

JollyGolightly · 06/09/2015 23:04

OP updated on one of those "whatever happened to..." threads a while back. She was still locked out of the garage and they were still together.

definiteissues · 06/09/2015 23:05

I am newer to MN than 2012 but now I want to know what happened too ha

Patapouf · 07/09/2015 00:24

Jolly she never got in???? Bloody Nora

KanyeWestPresidentForLife · 07/09/2015 00:53

Maybe she did get in....and she's still in there...which is why she's never updated...Shock

HaydeeofMonteCristo · 07/09/2015 08:28

I see this is a very old thread, but just in case op is still around I would be very worried too.

You know he has porn, fine, but does he have a computer in there that you might access if you had a key?

JeffreysMummyisCross · 07/09/2015 08:32

I was so excited to see this in Active - thought there was going to be an update.

Damn you, zombie thread reviver Wink

OwlDoll · 07/09/2015 08:50
