Neighbour having an affair - do I report my suspicions?

[AmzJS]

We live next to a couple - lady is probably mid/late 30’s, the man in his 40’s. They don’t have children.

Both are pleasant, and the man does shift work - one week a month he leaves early evening and works into the following day (we often hear his car pull up in the early hours).

DH and I have both noticed over recent months that a couple of times a week when her partner is on lates, the lady will be picked up by a car (the same one) around 6.30/7pm (she doesn’t drive) and not return until closer to midnight - the car will usually linger outside with the engine running as they are in it chatting.

With the lighter evenings, we’ve noticed that on these occasions she is always ‘done up’ in make up and wearing flattering outfits - tight dresses, heels etc. On one occasion, my DH was out the front and he said there was an over bearing smell of perfume. She rarely appears like this at any other time when her partner is home.

She has gone out again tonight and we’ve noticed her - again the same car, and her all dressed up.

We are convinced she is having an affair, it has all the hallmarks and it’s too much of a coincidence to only be when her partner is working lates.

I feel like morally, I should say something - but I don’t want to put my foot in it. Would anyone have ideas on how to approach this?

That's very convenient op! 🙄

I wish this was real. It's absolutely hilarious.

If any of this is true what a nasty piece of work you are.

Why don't you pop on over and report back on the nuked fridge?

From her other threads it appears that he has to do as he's told.

What a toxic, vindictive, nosey piece of work you are.
urrrgh you revolting piece of crap
Get a life

It’s obviously made up as your life is tragic
I pity you

Oooooh, greeeaaaaat. Hey hopefully whatever's happened has totally ruined their lives! Fingers crossed, OP!

Do you ever actually leave your house? It’s ok to leave your curtain-twitching post occasionally, you know. You don’t have to stand there 24/7, afraid to so much as blink in case you miss evidence of ‘ripeness for adultery’.

And I bet your hedge is trimmed down to nothing from your DH lurking trying to get a whiff of adulterous perfume or a glimpse of the Mysterious Driver. While ‘chuckling’. Actually, is he one of those leering garden gnomes?

I feel so sorry for you, have you got no life at all whatsoever?
It can go both ways:

Either your stories are true, and my gosh you are a smug busy-body with no life. Ever considered having a job and a hobby? Or are you as unpleasant in real life as you are on this forum?

Or you are making it all up, because you find it entertaining, and it's pathetically sad.

Whether you're a troll or not, I must paraphrase the wise words of Buzz Lightyear.

You're a sad, strange little person.

Ah, Buzz Lightyear. One of the more profound philosophers of our time

And I've been hoping to win the Lottery since November 1994 but sadly I'm still whistling dixie.

Well you have been haven’t you?😂

Did you enjoy your fry up?

You need a hobby

Why don’t you get to work OP rather than staring out your window? Then your husband can probably get on with his affair.

They havent, you made the whole thing up. It's a bit strange you need attention by making up stories, and how convenient the 'argument' happened a few hours after your post and you heard every single word?

She has one. Making up unbelievable shite and posting it here 😂

This is 100% made up- the fact it so conveniently evolved the day after the post, it's a bit sad when a grown up woman is so desperate for attention to make up stories for Mumsnet, maybe she hoped for 2 minutes of fame and it to be posted on their FB or even Daily Mail?

That's baloney. You just couldn't take it that all posters told you off for being a curtain twitcher. But if it would have been true you know that you're manifesting sociopathic tendancies by reacting to a couple's dispute by feeling smug.
You won't get any apologies here OP; you're still a curtain twitcher who needs to take up a hobby or two.

Does anyone remember Alan Bennett’s talking heads? The one with Sarah Lancashire. An Ordinary Woman “ You’re having an affair”, I think the poster is the teenage boy whom Alan captured so well!

You chuckling with your husband at what we say on mumsnet? You spending precious family time with what people on mumsnet say? And what outfit neighbour is wearing? And smelling her perfume???
You both fricking really, really, need to get a life!!!!!!!! I'm dying!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I really hope you're making all this up @AmzJS as you're coming across as bloody awful. Delighting in the "crisis talks!" is spiteful.

Goodness me, you sound like a right horror, if this is real of course which I have my doubts about.

Please go and find a hobby that keeps you busy so you don't continue to harass your child's teachers and your neighbours!

I think it’s quite unsettling how proud you feel about all of this.
You’ve heard someone be called a liar but you still have absolutely no proof that this has all come about because of an affair. Celebrating a ‘win’ with a fry up over someone else’s personal life is quite sad.
