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.

The reason there is one key is because after constant lost fucking keys I got sick of him having one. He’s 15 min away in a car. I’ll have to get the bus then be met with world war fucking 3 for going to here he is

Why WW3 an any good partner would welcome you in, buy you a drink and give you a hug. Ditch him, OP!

Livinghappy · 13/12/2024 22:10

Get a key box.

For future, never let him have your keys. If he loses his, then he should have the inconvenience.

AlohaRose · 13/12/2024 22:10

Is this person your husband?

FuckingFreezing1 · 13/12/2024 22:11

No my partner. Terminally selfish. Always has been. Dunno what I’ve put up with it for so long for.

Get a lockbox, the sole key lives in there until you can be arsed to get another key cut.

ILikeItWhatIsIt · 13/12/2024 22:11

Christ, grow up, the pair of you.

Apillthatmakesyousayalltherightstuff · 13/12/2024 22:11

Can he send you the key in a cab that he pays for?

Mum2jenny · 13/12/2024 22:12

Think we are dealing with toddler issues

Onetimeonly2024 · 13/12/2024 22:12

Taxi to a hotel, a nice one. And that shithead is paying.

MumonabikeE5 · 13/12/2024 22:12

cab to his party?

RubyRedBow · 13/12/2024 22:12

The whole situation is ridiculous. Jump on the bus and tell him you’re on your way and to be ready to meet you.

RosieLeaf · 13/12/2024 22:12

I think the key is the least of your problems.

ILikeItWhatIsIt · 13/12/2024 22:11

Christ, grow up, the pair of you.

Why does OP need to grow up? She gave partner her key and he said he would be back before her. He isn’t and she’s locked up and he doesn’t appear to want to help. OP is rightly annoyed!

StormingNorman · 13/12/2024 22:13

Get a cab and he can bring the key out to you, then take the cab home again. Tomorrow he can reimburse you for it.

7ft1garysson · 13/12/2024 22:13

Selfish knobber. Hope you get in soon x

TheGrinchIsComingToTown · 13/12/2024 22:13

@HollyBaubles77 the issue is OP hasn't taken the initiative to get a key box or have multiple keys cut.

HollyBaubles77 · 13/12/2024 22:13

My god - so many men apologists on here!

Merryoldgoat · 13/12/2024 22:14

Like all similar posts, this isn’t about keys. It’s about your selfish partner and some poor decision making.

The keys are a distraction @FuckingFreezing1

Why would collecting keys cause such a problem?

Why would he lie about coming home at a certain time?

This relationship is dead in the water because he has no respect for you and you see him as a child. What’s the point?

ineedtowomanup · 13/12/2024 22:14

Tell him to fucking do one out of your life he's a dick

MondayYogurt · 13/12/2024 22:14

Does he usually shout at you?

FuckingFreezing1 · 13/12/2024 22:14

If I was a toddler I’d be tucked up in bed not locked out the house by a selfish pig so hardly “toddler issues”
The relationship is awful, this has to be the most vile thing he’s done and after 6 years of it even I’m shocked.

Sorry? Is she his mother?

He took her key - he had lost his. Why does OP NEED TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE?! I’m sorry but this is making me mad!

Neither has he. He's the one who loses them, why is it the OPs job?

OP go to him and get the key. You don't know how long you'll be sitting in the cold. Selfish men don't care.
