His Mom Went On A Rampage When He Explained That She Would Not Be Getting A Key To The House He Just Bought With His Girlfriend
A 25-year-old guy has been in a relationship with his 24-year-old girlfriend named Lacey for the last 6 years.
He first met Lacey in college. She was a freshman who happened to become friendly with one of his best friends.
As soon as he met Lacey, he fell hard for her, and the rest is history. Over the last couple of years, he and Lacey have been saving up their money to purchase a house together.
A month ago, Lacey’s dad helped them to purchase a townhouse, and such a milestone and exciting event in their relationship is being spoiled by none other than his own mom.
His mom has forever hated Lacey, and she always finds something to pick on Lacey about, from her hair color to her clothing and everything in between.
“The most recent complaint is that Lacey only works a few part-time hours while I work full time (Lacey is a Ph.D. neuroscience student), but even if she wasn’t a student, it’s not her business how our dynamic works,” he explained.
“If she can’t act amicably towards my other half, who has been nothing but kind to her, then I don’t want her having access because I know she will intrude. Onto the issue. Two weeks ago, we held a housewarming party for our parents after we were mostly settled in. After dinner, while we were all drinking coffee in the living room, my mom asked me when she would be getting an emergency key.”
“I told her we gave it to our friends because they are closest (that’s a lie; we gave one to Lacey’s parents). She got upset, saying emergency keys are for family only and she needs one. I told her she didn’t need one, and if something happened, my friends had access.”
Although his mom was super unhappy about not getting a key, she dropped the issue, and he figured that was it.

Well, he was incorrect, as the following morning, his mom called him. When he picked up the phone, she was crying into the other end about how she knew Lacey was behind her not getting a key to the house.
He let his mom know that it wasn’t just Lacey who decided on the matter; he had input, too, and he didn’t want her to have a key, either.
He also reminded his mom that Lacey is hardly a nasty woman plotting against her, but his mom wouldn’t hear it.
His mom suddenly went from sad to livid, and then he hung up the phone on her.
“Ever since I have been getting guilt trippy texts from my mother and my father about me breaking her heart because I’m shutting her out,” he said. “…Is it really THAT bad she does not have a key?”
He then thought it might be a good idea to text his mom to make it entirely clear why she wasn’t getting a key.
“I texted my mom something along the lines of “no, you will not be getting a key, and that is my decision alone based on your treatment of Lacey through our entire relationship. I do not want to make her feel unwelcome in a home that she also owns. You and I both know that you will go snooping and show up uninvited, and I will not tolerate that. You need to let go of this competition between you and Lacey because I will always choose Lacey,” he added.
Since sending that lengthy text, his mom has continued berating him, but he knows standing by Lacey is the best choice because the alternative is that his mom will walk all over her.
His next step was to attempt to chat with his dad about this, as his mom kept up her furious rampage.
His dad was no help, and then his mom decided to reach out to Lacey to berate her too. He decided to block his mom, but not before letting her know that he was upset with her and he will take some time before speaking with her again.
He ended his message by informing his mom that it wasn’t ok for her to treat Lacey like that.
Still, he’s left wondering if he’s in the wrong for not wanting to give his mom a key to his and Lacey’s home.
Do you think he should stand by this decision, or do you think he should let his mom have a key after all?
