well it made my eyes go big when i was reading it...
i assume it would have been safe on your front door...
to me yes this would be a big deal...

Bright Side: He meant well.

I don't know the man so take my words with a grain of salt...
If you had given me a key, then I would think it was okay...
But in this case, no key was given. Could he have been worried that if he left the gift on your front door, that it would have disappeared?

i'd wait a couple days and see if he seems to get it...that you need space and that he made you uncomfortable. if not.....well it's all up to you really.

I am sure he thought it was not a problem since I have allowed him there without me a time or two, but always I was on my way within a few minutes and I told him to go ahead and let himself in. So, he is very comfortable there, but I still feel VIOLATED!

"there" = "their"
I think you need to talk to him instead of just moving the spare key. I think that your lack of space is making you possibly be hypersensitive (not to say you shouldn't be sensitive!) You are going to have to have a conversation with him; I think your fear of making him feel unwanted/upset because he did something nice is also making it more aggravating for you, and I don't want you to snap on the poor guy.
A simple, "Hey babe. Thanks so much for your thoughtful gesture, I really appreciated you thinking of me, but next time, can you give me some sort of heads up first because I do live with others, and I don't think it's right for someone to just be "walking" into the house; especially if I don't know about it." Or something along those lines....

Tell him it freaked you out, but say it in a nicer way than that, an it made you think about security (leaving a spare key etc) and that's why you've decided to take it away, smoochy schmookums, problem solved ! 🙂
Seriously though it is a bit weird, even if the gestures were nice.

@ LR36! - First.... HEY GIRL!!!!! *jumps up and down and waves*
Okay.... regarding your question.... yes, I have always needed my space. I did make it clear from the get go that I was not a needy person and that my friends were very important to me and I will always need my time and space to do "my thing". I made it clear to him that I am a very independent person and did not want to feel trapped or caged. He knows that I was with my ex for 16 years and my life has undergone a significant change over the past year and I have finally grown accustomed to my situation and enjoy my freedom. Freedom is the most important thing to me right now. I do believe that you can be in a relationship and still maintain a since of freedom and that is what I desire at this point in my life.

I feel like I am his sole source of entertainment and that he doesn't have anything much going on in his own circle. I don't like the pressure that it puts on me to entertain him. I know he had a life before me but it was a damn boring one and I am ALWAYS the HOSTESS so I feel obligated (even though it may be unwarranted, I still feel it, its part of my personality) to make sure he is entertained and happy. It may sound stupid, but I feel responsible for his happiness.

AND THIS - LEOLADY is why you and I are SOO much like guys! LMAO! That above statement is usually what the MAN is saying in respect to relationships. There is an expression "too much of a good thing." I think early on in relationships people want to live/eat/breathe one another, and then about 6 months or so into the relationship reality smacks the ish out of them and they are like WHOA! I like space and for that person to go, because I like to miss someone, and I like for them to miss me too. There ain't nothin' like some lovin when you haven't seen your man in a couple of weeks 😉 'Nuff said!
You are a Leo, so I know you pretty much told him at the jumpstart of what were deal breakers. The Leo I messed around with never lied about anything, and always meant what he said, and said what he meant. To some people it could be off putting; especially for women, because they are used to doing things they may not want to do. He told me from the beginning, "I don't do anything I don't want to do." I looked at him and said, "Touche'". I am the same way, and I don't need a babysitter. I want to WANT to be with the person when I'm with them, not wandering when the hell they are going to leave so I can take a bath/read/etc! LOL!

I didn't have time to read through all the posts, but I'm thinking that in his own way he may have felt like he was giving you space by dropping it off. He was doing something sweet and thoughtful, but (he may think) staying out of your hair at the same time. Know what I mean?
I wouldn't get too upset about this, although no one understands needing space more than I do. The thing is though people have completely different perceptions. For instance, I NEVER just drop by peoples homes without the knowing because I don't like it done to me. A lot of people can't understand that at all. More along the lines of this case though, I've been with people who have NO CLUE what needing space is like so I think it was hard for them to put themselves in my shoes to truly understand.
Thats not at all to say your feelings are not valid. They totally are.

Seriously though, there are a lot of people (I won't just say women) who just flove to eat/sleep/breathe their significant other. I worked with this chick who wouldn't go out w/the girls once a month because (her words), "Why would I intentionally go somewhere that my husband is being strategically excluded from?" We were like b#tch please! It's a friggin' GIRLS NIGHT OUT! I think it's self-explanatory that there are NO MEN going with us—? Oh, and my personal favorite. One of my girlfriends (who changes men like underwear) would always schlep her new "flavor" of the day/week/month around with her like he was a new handbag. If some of us would meet for drinks she would ALWAYS toss in there sometime early in the evening, "By the way, Steve/Jack/Henry/Clark/Jimmy/Robert is going to join us in a few minutes for a drink. I know you girls don't mind; especially since I think this one is a keeper." NONE OF THEM WERE KEEPERS! Errrrrrrrgggg.
I think I need to leave this thread, because some of the things people do just never cease to amaze me, and me even typing about it, is getting on my nerves!
*stomps away from thread - back to cave*

hmmm..... im sure you can figure out what im thinking... so no need to go into this one...

LeoLady,
I understand how you feel; but, this is kinda typical for a SagGuy, because he wouldn't be upset if you let yourself into his house, so he figures you're cool with him using the spare key to pull off a surprise for you...
It would bother me, and it would be grounds for my Scorpio to start gouging out eyeballs!
Shit! I didn't have a key to her house until after she'd moved in to mine...

He thought you needed this gift, since you gave him the suggestion of such by mentioning to him that you wanted it.
Why mention this to him?
Were you hoping that this maneuver would prompt him to do something for you?
It worked, he bought you the book .. congratulations, you have been promoted to accomplished manipulator.
Now, to the other thing ....
Did he cause any real harm?
Did he do it FOR you to have emotional well-being?
Have you even stopped your self-absorbed bitching for one second to analyze his intention?
I don't think you have made this mole-hill into a high enough dramatic mountain yet ... perhaps you should look for more "other" reasons for you to be uncomfortable ..... because heaven forbid that you look at this for his REAL intention ...
... which was to make you happy.
Another fucking douchebag.click to expand

aaawww p, come on ll is not a douche bag...there r lots of those here but def not ll.
she has only been with him a couple months. that is too early to just grab a spare key & let urself in. I still say the gesture has a tweak of stalker in it. he could very well have left the gift at the door or with the roomate. he went in without permission, who knows how long he has been doing this...or what else he has done to invade her privacy. this was shady & I'll stand by that...
my first (in many ways) serious boyfriend started climbing in my window & hiding in my closet. his actions grew stranger & more violent over time. it became apparent he was obsessed. he would follow me everywhere without my knowledge & threaten my friends whom he said were coming between us.
he was the only guy who eva hit me (once) it's actually a funny story that led up to it....
whilst in my closet he saw a band poster autographed to me with personal messages. so he loses it & says "so u fucked em all?" I was all "no u know u were my first, I sucked em all off" which wasn't true but, got me a nice bruise on my face. I moved far away with my aunt the next morning.
now I'm not saying ll's man is anything lk this just that u must look deeper into intentions sometimes. what may seem sweet & romantic could actually be sinister.

"because it doesn't offend me"
But, of course .. this is why you responded defensively.
No, it wasn't your point of this thread ... you looking at the positive in the situation wasn't your intention at all, I got that. Your intention was to not only look at the negative, to also embrace it to the point that you would carry on with others so that they may help in shrouding you with the negative.
Oh yes, that was your point .... I got that loud and clear.
Heaven forbid you embrace his intention of tyring to make you feel good about yourself since you mentioned to him your disappointment in not getting the book ...... yeah, I got that, fucking douchebag.

" ... my best friend told him last weekend that if he doesn't back off from me some and give me my space that he was gonna lose me."
Oh, my bad, I read that wrong .. it doesn't say that she told him about your wants for more space.
It tells him to back the fuck off .... as in a threatening tone, to suggest that a regretful to him outcome would commence if he didn't obey this.

Now, on to the topic.... We were on the phone Tuesday evening and I mentioned how I wish I would've bought a book for myself when we were in the book store Christmas shopping because since he had been going home more, I would've had time to read which is a past time of mine that has fallen to the wayside since he has been staying over so much. So, during my ride home from work on Wednesday evening, he tells me that I MAY have a surprise waiting for me at my house when I arrive. I'm puzzled and ask him what he has done? He says "it's nothing big, but I hope you see it." So, I ask where I should look and he tells me on my bed. WTF!!—? So, when I get home, I find on my bed, the book I was looking at along with a bag of my favorite candy and a note from him telling me to enjoy them. I know this is a really sweet gesture and that I should be happy about it... and I am.... however, I can't help but think about the fact that he came into my house without asking me or telling me that he was going by there!!!!! I feel completely violated. I don't know how to tell him. I don't want to hurt his feelings, I know he was being sweet and doing something great for me, but I feel like he invaded my space. He has been at my house without me a few times, but NEVER without me knowing about it. I wouldn't have cared had he asked me if he could stop by and pick up something of his, but he DIDN'T! My sister says to let it go, he obviously didnt think it was a big deal since he is there so much, but to me.... it MATTERS!!!
What do I do? Any suggestions?
