What is up with people giving folks keys to their houses without consulting their spouses first?
We keep hearing these kinds of stories and it’s starting to make me wonder…
Anyway, on to the story: is this woman an a**hole for changing the locks on her house?
Read on and see what you think.
AITA for changing the lock after my husband gave his mom a copy of the new house’s key?
“My husband and I (both 30s) purchased a new house together last month.
His mom nagged us for a copy of ths key but I refused because in our old home, she kept letting herself in and invade our privacy. She begged, cried and even tried to send people at me to pressure me to agree. I still refused but later I found out that my husband gave her a copy. I was livid.
I had the biggest argument with him because of it. He said that it was done and that “there was NOTHING I can do about it”. I cried my eyes out in frustration but then I contacted a locksmith and had the lock changed. My husband found out and went off on me saying I had no right to make such decision on my own, but I replied that he didn’t consult me when he decided to let his mom have a copy of the key.
I stated that I will not be living in paranoia in my own house anymore. He yelled at me asking what he should tell his mom now then stormed off.
His dad and family knew and started calling ms petty and whatnot. He’s refusing to speak to me unless I “correct” my mistake.
AITA for doing this?”
