Tell your neighbour her partner is cheating?

I recently moved in to a village nearby Cambridge. I’m not close to my neighbors but I’ve noticed he brings in different girls while she goes out with their child. I know it’s not my business and I’m not friends with her or him but I find his actions repulsive, even more with a 7-month old baby. Would you try to talk to her about this or just try to ignore this?

Other issues aside, you've probably seen the fall out of this sort of thing before.

What do you think the reaction would be from your neighbour or her DP/DH?

How easy would it to remain neighbours if this resulted in them both turning against you?

Stay out of it. She will find out if she doesn't know already. It staggers me what some women are prepared to put up with😞

Are you sure that he isn't just tutoring th or sonething? I think that she does have a right to know and telling her is the right thing to do but do jump right in there and say your DH is having an affair. Just mention how many visitors her husband has as casually as possible and only divulge more if she asks.

No it's not your business, how long can she possibly be out with a 7 mo anyway and do you have evidence that he is up to no good, that she doesn't know or even care.

And what if (a) she knows or (b) there's a totally innocent explanation or (c) she's seeing someone when she goes out?

Stay well clear if you've any sense.

Stay out of it, you don't know the facts.

I work from home. A neighbour told my husband that I had a male caller who parked his silver car on our drive. Oh, said my DH, and when exactly was this? Last Wednesday morning the neighbour kindly volunteered. Well, that was my husband's best friend who called for him to go out for breakfast while he was home from work. …. I've also been accused of going out a driving instructor who took the signs of the top of his car when approaching our house. He was my brother....

You could be so wrong in all this. It isn't your business. Stay out.

Talk about jumping to conclusions.
You think he's having affairs with multiple women?
You've too much time on your bands op.

I'm amazed at the number of ppl who say it's none of your business, so stay out. I'm pretty sure that most of us here would prefer to be told if our partners were cheating, rather than have it go on under our noses with other ppl being totally aware, and only possibly finding out later on down the line. Having been cheated on myself, it's 100% true for me. 'It's not your business' is how cheating twats are enabled in their pathetic behaviour. And how faithful partners lose years of their lives staying with gits.

Having said that, you don't know for sure based on what you've seen, so friendly enquiries would be best first, as suggested above.

Simple- if you know for sure he's 100% cheating/ up to no good, then say something. Otherwise keep out.

FogCutter · 08/07/2018 23:57

My neighbors do exactly the same, wife goes out, husband stays in and has female visitors all day till she comes back.

He's a homeopath and they are his clients.
