Only moments later two cops came out holding a thin and tired looking man.

His eyes looked crazy, but he didnt make a run at get away.

My boyfriend moved in with me the very next day.

This story is completely traumatizing, especially if youre also a woman who lives alone.

A similar story was told by awoman who goes by the name u/heartx3jess who lived with her boyfriend.

When she heard noises downstairs, she expected them to be her boyfriend.

So, this afternoon I was lying in bed getting work done.

But around 1 PM I heard the front door open and shut.

I thought huh, I guess hes home an hour early today.

In fact, I was mostly mentally preparing for the awkward post-fight hey hows it going conversation.

But I was caught up in the dramatics of the fight and didnt think about it.

I was just lying there, waiting, waiting, waiting for him to finally come in.

Finally, the bedroom door slowly opened just a few inches.

But the door didnt open more than a few inches.

I looked and saw that it was a womans hand with red nail polish on the doorknob.

Whoever was there slowly closed the door just as they had opened it, without entering the room.

My first thought: that was not my boyfriend.

This woman never found out who was in her house.

She called her boyfriend and he called the police.

Anyway, in unrelated news I will be boarding up the space underneath my bed tonight.

We dont want to end up asanother story on r/LetsNotMeet.
