why wont he return my house keys?? after he moved out.

[mimijay]

my ex and I use to live together. we have separated now for 4months and I have asked him to return the house keys and he still hasnt. he has picked up all his belongings. 'Left some' as well.

 

If he didnt have the keys wouldnt he just say he didnt have them

or does he still have them and keeping them just in case?

 

see my thoughts are he's keeping them just in case something happeneds in the future? or should i give up thinking that we would get back together. I believe he still has feelings for me.

 

Is this a sign that it is only a break??

or

Should I let go completely?

 

Im going through the confuse stage.. i have no idea anymore this break up seems to be lingering on.

I'd reiterate you want your keys back and if they aren't back in 7 days, or he doesn't have a very good explanation as to why he can't drop them off or mail them, I'd change the locks.

Change the locks and end the thoughts. If there is a reconciliation it's gonna require alot more than a set of keys. Sorry, just my jaded opinion.

i think you should just change your locks.

i have asked him several times. he wont reply?.

I have mentioned it to him i said give me my keys back and stay out of my life, as he keeps coming back via txt. He will txt me about something but he wont reply about the keys situation.

 

I have since NC him. 2 weeks. but im still wondering? does he have them or not.

i would just change your locks. and i wouldn't tell him either. i'd tell him if he doesn't pick up his stuff by a certain date, that you will give it to your local goodwill store or salvation army.

It doesn't matter if he replies, or not...Change the locks!

As said over and over. Change the locks. Don't use this as a last straw connection to someone who is not being respectful to you. Take control of the situation and change the locks, stop contact in all forms, etc. I wish the best for you. You can do this thing.

I agree. Also I would tell him that he has left some stuff behind that he needs to collect.

[annie24]

Even if he returns the key you never know if he made copies. He's doing it for control and to keep you "on the hook" so to speak.

 

You're talking what, 3 or 4 knobs, less than $30 at your local home improvement store.

 

Tell him the locks are changed and he can take the keys and put them where the sun rarely, if ever shines.

 

i agree - changing locks is cheap and easy. just do it!
