Summary
So I thought things were going great until I mentioned that my parents really need a place to stay, and my girlfriend of only seven months started acting like a total Karen about the whole situation.

And then the drama really peaked today when I told her that my parents are coming regardless and she needs to decide if she is okay with that or not. She went into a full meltdown and tried to tell me it is her house too, but it felt like a heavy dose of ProRevenge for my peace of mind when I reminded her that her name isn't on the deed and she doesn't contribute a cent to the mortgage. Watching her realize she won't be calling the shots in a home she doesn't even help pay for was the reality check she desperately needed.
