Last year I posted a thing here: WIBTA if I don’t give my late bf’s house to his parents? : r/AmItheAsshole
First of all, thanks to all the people who replied and gave me some support, I really appreciate that.
Back when I posted the story, I was in a really bad place and everything was convoluted, I can’t tell you how hard it was for me to get to a decision. A lot of people told me to take some time to think about it, but I really want to thank u/MizSaftigJ when I was logging out from reddit back in the day, I saw their response and it lived rent free in my head for almost a week, that helped me decided to take my time before make any decision regarding the house.
So I decided to wait until I felt I was able to think clearly. It took me a few months; it was hard, his parents kept bothering me with calls and emails about the house, they even hired a lawyer to talk to me about it, but my own lawyer told them all to fuck off, they hadn’t any leg to stand on if that would have gone to a judge.
Back in January I finally felt able to make any decision, I told them that I was going to sell them the house for the original price my BF bought it, I would still lost some money but was the best course of action for me, and that that was my last offer. They refuse it, telling that I should be a better person and let them get the house for less (they didn’t even dare to call me his boyfriend, just a “person”), so I decided to put the house on the market.
Back in February they reached out to me again, asking if my proposal was still on the table, I would have loved to tell them no but I know my BF wanted them to live there, so I told them yes but they had to decided within a week, it wasn’t necessary, they accepted right away. So I let my lawyer handled the selling, I didn’t want to see them no more; I got surprised when my lawyer handled me a photobook of him as kid and pre-teen, looks like it was their way of trying to acknowledge their son’s life. Is the only thing for what I’m grateful for to them.
A few weeks ago was my BF’s one year memorial, they didn’t show up, so I can move on with my life without them bothering me no more.
Thanks again for all the comments and DM, you guys are awesome.
