Beyond fed up of DH’s dispute with neighbour

167 replies

JesssfirsttimeMum · 07/08/2025 21:40

This has been going on for months now and it kicked off again earlier.

One of our neighbours on the opposite side of the street keeps parking his van opposite our drive. This can make it challenging for us to get on and off as it’s very tight.

DH raised initially - he said politely, I wasn’t there - and it stopped for a bit but then resumed. I have overheard two heated confrontations where DH goes out to speaks to him as he parks up.

Tonight, there was a right slanging match which became personal. The man appears to live alone and DH said it’s no wonder he’s on his own. He then said something inappropriate along the lines of ‘I’ll let you have a go on my missus if you ask nicely’ and then said he was joking and in his dreams.

Any advice? I’m sick of hearing about it!!

He parked legally. Your DH is a twat. The comments he's made mean he is an offensive, moronic twat. I hope the man goes out tomorrow and buys an articulated lorry.

If my DH said that as a 'joke' to anyone about me, he wouldn't have the privilege of being married to me for any longer.

Agree - vile. What sort of creature says something like that!?

Your wife’s sexual services are surely something you’d offer someone you liked? Not something you’d shout in a heated argument.

It's troll hunting but outright troll hunting is against talk guidelines so people use these inane obscure "witty" statements instead to give themselves a deep sense of self-satisfaction that they've not been fooled.

Gross, he’s a complete moron.

I think it’s a reference to In the school holidays bored people make up crazy stories they know will outrage people to get a reaction.

this is a seemingly benign story about parking with a big dose of random misogyny thrown in that people are bound to react to.

The neighbour said that or DH? Doesn't even make sense in the argument if DH said it.

Start parking opposite your own drive for a bit. Or buy a banger and put it there 😇 but that's drastic
My next door neighbour has 5 cars and a massive work van that they park right up to my dropped curb. My dropped curb is also not completely central to the drive so sometimes it's impossible to get on and off the drive (there's a tree opposite)
I've raised it before but some neighbours aren't that interested - plus it's legal

Is the work van his employers in which case complain to them as its not a good advert for the company

HatandCoat · 07/08/2025 23:00

Your husband said the neighbour he was annoyed with 'could have a go' on you? Are his bags packed?

HAL200 · 07/08/2025 23:00

So your H was having slanging match with the neighbour and in the middle of it offered your sexual services to him if he asked nicely?

Eh?? Is he Fred West?

Butchyrestingface · 07/08/2025 23:00

He then said something inappropriate along the lines of ‘I’ll let you have a go on my missus if you ask nicely’ and then said he was joking and in his dreams.

What???

You're mad about the parking dispute when he said THAT??

Lighten up it’s a joke. It’s like no one can have banter no more. 🙄

I am really struggling on how we got from a parking argument (which by the way I think you should suck up if he isnt blocking you in) to your husband saying you wont shag my missus stuff - I mean wtf?!!

Cherryicecreamx · 07/08/2025 22:47

I think there's more of an issue with the "joke" he made about you. Totally inappropriate and unnecessary.

Apology accepted.

Jokes tend to be funny. Show me the humour.

Are you planning to spend the rest of your life married to this man?

GreenCandleWax · 07/08/2025 22:35

Parking in your street and an argumentative man are the least of your problems, OP. One of you needs to have respect for you, and that has to be you. What your H said about you to the neighbour would be a dealbreaker.

AlloaintheMiddle · 07/08/2025 21:52

Pardon he said what? I think I’m missing something.

What does he mean by “you can have a go on my missus”?

Totally bonkers....is he prostituting his wife for favours of the parking....

I'm sure most men, especially the 'best ones' don't say to a neighbour 'do you want to have a go on my wife?!' I have never known any man say this! The OP's husband sounds a sandwich short of a picnic!

He's a cunt, protect yourself.
