This is definitely illegal here.

Yeah it is illegal.

Sounds illegal everywhere tbh.

Sure there are some areas in Syria and Iraq where this sort of crazy activity is accepted.

I agree. Get out of there while you can.

Unless it's her apartment and she needs HIM to go...

#91 if its her apartment, she can just call the police to have him removed

Since this is basically a hostage situation OP should call the police.

AHHH you beat me to it! I was going to say the same thing :)

You've got to be quick off the mark to beat a veteran like Wellshite!

Not really Stockholm syndrome. He's not keeping her captive until she actually does like him, he's keeping her until she says they're still together.

I laughed probably more than I should have at that lol.

That's what I was going to say XD

I'm gonna go ahead and say those four down votes were drunk and couldn't see properly.

Came here just to give you your upvote :P

SHE SHOULD leave after making him hear what he wants to hear because since he doesn't want to hear what she's saying and ends up locking her up till she says what he wants, then that's the only way for you to get what you want too lol. Unless she's a masochist. That's another story.

*entertain->energy C'mon, man, we're slightly better than this.

Hey, it would be more entertaining than spinning a turbine...

Even so, she will still need to go back to the apartment and pick up her stuff, and thus risk getting locked in again. That is, unless her friends and/or family go and help her move out, then yay!

This comment wasn't meant to be a reply. My apologies.

Often the door in/out of a building only locks by a key, & can't be opened from either side without it. I'm guessing OP returned her key during the breakup speech, or he grabbed it & ran. No clue how the same thing could happen so many times though.

Ah, I wasn't thinking of the entire apartment complex. Thanks for clearing that up! ^_^

My apartment doesn't have a switch lock (not sure if that's what they're called), but can only be locked and unlocked from inside (or outside) with a key. One day my roommate left his keys at work, and since I had already left for work and had locked the door behind me when I left, he was locked in the apartment all day. If OP's apartment has a similar type of lock, all her boyfriend would have to do is lock the door and take her key.

That's a little inconvenient. But yeah that's probably what OP has. Thanks for the explanation!! Appreciate it! ^^

Bs. You can always exit any room/building without a key. That due to fire code.

83, I live in China, where there are few building/safety codes. The only other way out of my locked apartment is through the window. As I'm on the 7th floor, that's not a viable option.

The place my family rents has a deadbolt that can only be opened with a key. My brother loves to lock it. I got locked in a few times when I couldn't find my keys. I'd hate for there to be a fire... And after the first time getting locked in until I changed my answer, I'd be gone. I wouldn't stick around 4 times.

I completely agree. 1st time was fyl, but the rest are definitely ydi.

Maybe she's afraid of what else he might do? Someone who is willing to lock someone in his apartment could be capable of other terrible things. It may seem stupid of her, but remember, she is still the victim. Don't blame her. Fear makes you do things you don't want to do, like stay in bad relationships.

No one deserves that.

You're a dick. This is an abusive relationship and you're laying blame on the victim of the abuse.

I'll get downvotes, but I agree. The 4th time? FOURTH. YDI

it's not that they people deserve to be hit again it's that the only reason they got hit again is because they stayed with him/her. same here, she doesn't deserve to be locked in a room with him. but she keeps trying the same thing, she needs to make up a new plan where that won't happen.
