So unfortunately my girlfriend and I had to move back in with my parents back in August. Its been a constant struggle for me to keep peace between my girlfriend and I and my parents. They (my parents) still think they can tell me or "suggest" what I should do with my money, how much time I should spend with them vs my girlfriend and think its OK to come into our room whenever we leave.
Several times my girlfriend and I have come home to find that our DVDs have been "borrowed" by my little brother, my hats are gone. One time my mom came in the room and cleaned it. But Even though I get filled with anger I try to tell myself that blowing up will only make the situation worse. In fact opening my mouth to say ANYTHING will cause conflict. So I tell my girlfriend that we should just keep our mouths sshut and keep saving to move out.
She's been bugging me for weeks to change the locks on the door and I told her no because I knew itd cause a fight. Well today behind my back she changed them anyway. And we just so happened to get a new bedroom set delivered. We had to work late tonight so I guess when we left my parents tried to go into the room but found that it was locked. As soon as we walked in he expressed how pissed he was that we never asked him to change the locks. We pay $200 in rent and about $200 a month for groceries. As much as I felt like throwing that in his face I didn't. Even though I'm mad at them I'm mad more at my girlfriend for not listening to me about the lock...
What should I do? Am I wrong?
