This 25-year-old man and his girlfriend, 27, live together in the house that he owns. They currently live in the Chicagoland area.

Not long ago, his girlfriend extended an invitation for her mother to spend time together in Chicago.

She hadn’t seen her mother in a year, and they told her that she could use his guest bedroom during her visit.

Since his girlfriend’s mother isn’t financially well-off, she thought that this would be a fantastic way for her to have an adventure and get away from the small town she was living in.

Before the visit, his girlfriend gave him advance warning that her mother is incredibly loud. Her mother stayed with them for two days, and then, he noticed that while he was working at his office downtown, her mother went into his office at his house.

“There is a Ring camera hidden in the office,” he said. “On the camera, I saw her walk in and snoop around.”

“She went through my file cabinets and looked at sensitive stuff, such as my tax returns, bank statements, and other documents.”

“She also attempted to input the passcode on my safe multiple times (gun safe and import documents like birth certificates, passports, and Social Security cards).”

Plus, his girlfriend’s mother opened his laptop and checked to see if he had a password on it.

Her mother didn’t steal anything, but she looked through everything in his office. Right after he got home from work, he ordered her mother to get out.

“I didn’t trust her or appreciate her going through my stuff. I also accused her of potentially stealing stuff because I don’t have cameras in the other parts of my house before kicking her out,” he explained.

His girlfriend was furious that he forced her mother to leave his house. She had to pay for her mother to stay in a motel for the remainder of her trip.

Despite showing his girlfriend the Ring camera footage of her mother searching through his office, she doubled down on her belief that he was overreacting.

He thought that he was well within his rights to kick her mother out after discovering that she was violating his privacy and possibly could have been stealing from him.

“My girlfriend told me I was warned about her issues, then also told me it was my fault because I should have locked off that part of the house,” he shared.

In his girlfriend’s view, if he’d locked his office, her mother wouldn’t have had the opportunity to snoop through his stuff, and this situation could have been avoided.

He still believes that he did the right thing.
