Really concerned about my friend. We spoke earlier on the phone and it became apparent that her boyfriend of around 4 months is exhibiting some controlling tendencies.
One of the main things that stood out was that she has her son in bed with her one night a week, which he is unhappy about. When she defended herself and stated that's what they'd always done and he was welcome to stay away on these nights, all seemed ok. She had also mentioned that he was round more than she would like and sometimes need some space, i told her it was perfectly ok to tell him that she wanted x amount of days to herself.
Anyway. He bought her a bigger bed, all is well. Only now he has told her that he bought the bed for adults only. He asked to stay tonight, she stated that her child would be in bed with her, if hes fine with that, then ok. He replied saying he's not, he will come and collect his work card and keys and stay away for tonight.
She has just rang me to tell me he turned up at her house and changed the locks on her door, leaving two keys and taking one for himself. When I asked her wtf, she said they had a conversation around a month ago regarding the locks needing changing as her friend who had previously stayed with her had lost a key.
She asked me if she is overreacting, I told her she's underreacting. That although the lock changing conversation happened some time ago, it's funny how today, the day he hasn't managed to get his own way, he has miraculously changed the locks.
I have advised her to demand the key that he took back and to accept no excuses, failing that, to call the council and request a lock change. When I asked her how she reacted whilst he was changing the locks, she said she was completely bewildered and just asked what he was doing, his response being that it would be easier for when she's not home.
WTAF is it with these men? How dare he? I'm so angry on her behalf, and very concerned for her welfare.
