I’m really worried about a dear friend of mine. She’s 41, 3 dc’s under 7, married to a very successful but emotionally and physically unavailable man. She’s a sahm. About a year ago she told me that her 61 year old neighbour was making lewd comments at her, telling her he wanted to shag her etc, he’s married also, it was really stressing and creeping her out and she said she was doing her utmost to avoid him and ignore him if she did see him. She’s had a really tough year, she said she’s been feeling really down and lonely, stuck at home with the kids, never having a break or going out in the evening. Last week she phoned me in tears and told me that she has been meeting up with this neighbour once a week while the kids are at school and having sex. She told me that after sex he leaves straight away and then ghosts her for a week or two before coming back for more. I went round to see her and she doesn’t know how it started but she has started seeing him in a completely different way and despite how he treats her she can’t end it. I was speechless because I genuinely thought she saw him as a creepy old man and now they are having an affair (if you can call it that it sounds like he is just using her for sex). I think over the past year he has got inside her head where she has been feeling so low. I’m planning on going to his house and warning him to leave her alone but dh said I should leave it alone and instead support my friend in ending it. I don’t know how to help her.
