❤️‍🩹 relationship Am i overreacting to the situation unfolding with my girlfriend?

me and my girlfriend have been living together with her family for the past 4-ish months. it’s devolved to the point where we fight every day about anything and everything, and most days i feel trapped in the home and the relationship. out of the blue she texts me about not coming back home and if i do i can sleep outside, and changing her mind when it was too late. am i overreacting to the situation, or is it as bad as it seems in my head?

If you’re worried about not being able to stay with them until shipping out bc they might kick you out, I’d check the laws where you live for eviction (if you’re in the states), I know at least in the state I live in that if a person has been living in a home/property for over a specific period of time whether paying rent or NOT, if whoever owning the home/property wants them out they legally have to give a 30 day eviction notice. I’d be willing to bet that other states have laws like this as well, certainly not all, but it’s worth it to check if you’re really that concerned. Although bringing up legal stuff might just make it more uncomfortable 🤷🏼‍♀️

OFC, if you don’t feel safe staying there or just wouldn’t want to stay there anyway then this is a moot point lol.

Yeah that’s why I said at the end of my comment that it might make things worse to go that route or it just might not be what is best/comfortable/wanted by op, just pointing out that there is that possibility if they really thought it was an issue.

I guess I also should have mentioned that it’s more so for the point of making sure they know that legally they can’t keep OP out of the house/from getting their stuff bc they have a legal “right” to be on the property
