Dear Deanna!
My boyfriend and I have dated for
3-years and I gave him a key to my
apartment. Now that he can come in,
eat, sleep and go as he pleases,
things have changed. He doesn’t
come over as often and when he
does, it’s late at night. I’ve asked
him for a key to his place but he said
no without an explanation. I told him
I wanted my key back and he said if
I take it from him or change the locks,
the relationship is over. Was it a
mistake to give him a key in the first
place? —Tanya; On-Line Reader
Dear Tanya:
If his name isn’t on the lease then he
shouldn’t have a key. You made
yourself vulnerable because he
knows you w on’t entertain anyone
else since he can show up at any
time. H e’s not going to give you a
key because he’s not as committed
as you are. You should take your
key and if that’s the only thing that
can end the relationship, then you
don’t need him. If he refuses, then
change your locks, make him knock
on the door for a visit and keep it
moving.
