A 33-year-old man shared his painful story on Reddit about his late boyfriend, who was disowned by his parents at 17 for coming out as gay. Despite being rejected, the boyfriend was supported by the OP’s family, and after he passed away, his parents returned, demanding the house he purchased. The OP had been paying the mortgage for years, and when they refused to hand over the house without compensation, the boyfriend’s parents threatened legal action.
The OP explained that the house was in their name and offered the parents a reasonable solution: they could buy the house for the price OP paid and assume the mortgage, but the parents declined, insisting they were entitled to the house. The OP faced ongoing harassment, with the parents accusing them of dishonoring the deceased boyfriend’s wishes.
Reddit users overwhelmingly supported the OP, emphasizing that the boyfriend would not have wanted his parents to claim the house after rejecting him. They advised the OP to keep the home, which was a symbol of the love they shared, and to stand firm against the parents’ demands.
