My husband always stares at our female neighbour. He talks to her husband. They are quite similar and share similar interests. The thing they don’t share is a similar age. My husband is much older (fit and slim looking also considered handsome by many women)and her husband is in his 30’s, not so fit and slim looking, although handsome.
The female neighbour also in her 30’s is much fatter than me and doesn’t bother too much with her appearance, is intelligent and has the same professional job that I had previously before retiring. Hubby always tries to engage her in conversation if she’s in the garden even if it’s obvious that she is very busy. One night he talked to her solidly for over an hour - nothing wrong in friendly neighbourhood chat. However, today he did not notice that I had come out of the house - he was standing looking over at her (she either didn’t see him or was ignoring him) he had this silly grin on his face and was saying to himself out loud, “oh she doesn’t see me!” and then mouthed sort of kissing sounds to try and alert her to his presence! When he realised I was there he said,”Just being neighbourly!” WTF?
