Amused sort of mini rant about the woman next door....

We moved into this house a few months ago and there is a woman with a child of about the same age as my DS1 who lives next door. I thought great a friend for DS.

Except she doesnt seem intrested in me or in our children making friends - she does however seem intrested in making friends with my DH

If we are going out and she sees him she will spent 10 mins talking to him as he stands there freezing and trys to gets away but if we are both outside she doesnt say more than hello! Or if it is just me she will smile but not attempt to make conversation.

I find it quite amusing, she is about 15 years older than dh (mid 30's i would say) but at the same time it annoys me that it is so obvious she is intrested in him. Hello - hes married!!

I have told Dh that i think she fancies him and he finds it funny although is getting annoyed at having to freeze outside talking to her, but she is nice and polite so he cant exactly walk away.

I suspect (although I may be paranoid) that the other day she deliberatly faffed about on her doorstep to wait until i was in the house so she could talk to dh. He thinks im imagening things.

Should I do anything? or nothing? I really doubt DH would play on her attraction etc but you never know.

My mum had this with a woman who lived across the road, she would totally blank my mum but would be up my dad's bum if she saw him grrr! Hate women like that.

Just ignore it, she obviously lives a very boring life, if your dh can't be bothered with her, he needs to make some excuse and get away but be polite obviously as there is nothing worse than neighbours at war.

bit sad really when you think about it...almost feel sorry for her and her desperate antics!

I had this about 3 years ago where we used to live. a couple same age as us lived next door. they had small son, we had small son. the girl refused all attempts by me to say hello etc. but would talk at length to dh! strangely enough I liked her dh and would talk to him but my dh thought he was an arse. just ignore and laugh silently.

Me too

If I spend the same amount of time on my doorstep as she does I would invest in a far bigger coat than she wears!

Im not planning on saying anything to her, why should i - if she wants to pine over my dh then more fool her cause hes taken!

I was thinking about making an effort in trying to become friends etc but though better of it, its a bit like inviting the fox into the chicken run i suppose!

Better safe than sorry
