His Girlfriend Called Him Controlling After He Locked Their Back Door So She Can’t Leave It Open When She Wanders Around The Neighborhood On Her Middle Of The Night Walks
When you have a close friend or family member who tends to be reckless, it can be incredibly stressful.
One young man consistently worries about his wayward girlfriend and her late-night walks, so he upset her after he began locking the doors in their home from the inside at night.
He’s 22 and lives with his 21-year-old girlfriend. While he loves her, he has a problem with her having some wanderlust issues.
“I’m almost positive she has some form of ADHD because she is incredibly forgetful and, at times, careless,” he said.
“She’ll do things like leave her purses, books, phone, and at times, keys in the car. Boil an egg on the stove and only remember once the water has completely evaporated and is burning, as well as other appliance-related problems.”
His girlfriend has sworn to him in the past that she’ll go to a doctor to seek help for these issues, but she hasn’t done so.
They recently moved in together, and he couldn’t help but notice that his girlfriend has taken on a dangerous new habit.
Occasionally, his girlfriend will leave their house through their back door around 1:00-2:00 am and will walk around their rural neighborhood for hours.
Sometimes, she even leaves to do this with a low battery percentage on her phone. He has no idea why she feels the need to leave their home in the middle of the night, and it makes him very uncomfortable.

“I worry about what could happen in the middle of the night with no one around, and she doesn’t appreciate me coming with her too much,” he explained.
“Worse yet, she will leave the back door unlocked because she still hasn’t gotten her own set of house keys. So, it is up to me to readmit my wayward girlfriend every few nights.”
He got so tired of his girlfriend leaving to go on these dangerous walks that he decided to install a new lock on their backdoor that locks from both sides. Now, he can lock it so that his girlfriend would be forced to use their front door for her nighttime walks.
He knows his girlfriend won’t leave their front door unlocked in the middle of the night to go walking, so this way, she’ll just have to stay home throughout the night.
Although he did this with the intention of keeping his girlfriend safe, she’s been very upset since finding out she can’t leave through the back door anymore. She called him controlling and hasn’t been speaking to him.
“I find it ridiculous cause she could simply go out to get her own pair of keys to thwart me, but she’s the type that can’t have too many errands on her mind,” he added.
Was he wrong to lock his girlfriend in the house at night, or is it the best solution until she gets medical help?
