Everyone has probably had a nosy, annoying neighbor at one point or another.
These neighbors just don’t seem to know how to mind their own business.
In today’s story, a woman explains that the annoying neighbor is her mother’s neighbor.
She and her husband are temporarily staying with her mother to try to cheer her up while she’s sick, but this neighbor is so annoying and intrusive that they might not be able to stay much longer.
Let’s read the whole story.
Aita for telling my sister and her neighbor to stop convincing my husband into ‘therapy’ otherwise we’ll leave
I am (27f) and I have been married to my husband (28m) from past 3 years.
We grew up together and even went to the same school and college, we started dating when we turn 15.
My husband and I moved temporarily in my parents home.
They moved in to help her mom.
My mom is extremely sick so she asked me to stay with her for a month or two so I started living with her.
My sister (24f) lives with my parents and she’s being a pain in my butt as well along with their neighbor.
This neighbor is very close to my parents and visits everyday and spends time with my mom and sister which i am grateful of but I don’t appreciate how she’s butting in my relationship.
Her husband is not the talkative type.
My husband is a bit rude or appears as one.
He doesn’t like people and minds his own business.
He’s kinda angry all the time but doesn’t show it.
He doesn’t like talking about it with others except me.
He’s the type of guy that if a family member needed his help he’ll be the first one to show up.
My husband is quite all the time and only talks to strangers if they initiate the conversation otherwise he’ll focus on his work.
He’s a workaholic, but the ‘neighbor’ keeps trying to talk to him.
The neighbor is really pestering her husband.
At first she would just initiate small talks which my husband hates but tolerated, but then she tried to convince him to go to therapy and said that her cousin is a therapist.
My husband refused but she kept bringing it up everyday and tried to convince him.
After a few days when he had enough, he told her that he appreciates her concern but she should stay out of his life as it’s none of her concern.
My husband told me that he’s tired of this and he’s only staying with us because I and his mil asked him and he doesn’t want his mil to get involved so either I stop this or he’ll go back home.
Her sister took the neighbor’s side.
So I told her to stop asking or convincing my husband into therapy or whatever.
And she said that she’s just trying to help me and my husband, maybe my husband needs help cause the way he’s acting is like an abuser and asked me if I am okay.
Even my sister joined her and said that my husband’s behavior is ‘concerning’ and maybe I should do something about it.
I got a bit angry after hearing them and told them that they should stay out of our lives otherwise we will leave right away and go back to our home.
She made her stance clear.
My husband and my stance is that we are here to cheer my mother up which is why we aren’t involving her into this but if they don’t stop we will leave.
Both of them said that they’ll stop interfering in my marriage and I was rude to them when they just wanted to help me.
Am i the jerk?
I get they were trying to help me but who would get this pushy?
I don’t even know her properly.
Maybe they mean well, but they really need to mind their own business.
Let’s see how Reddit reacted to this story.
It’s true that her husband doesn’t sound like the type to cheer anyone up.
It’s no wonder her husband wants to leave.
The sister and neighbor need to respect her boundaries.
At least he talks to her about his feelings.
This person would suggest therapy to the sister and neighbor.
They really need to mind their own business.
This sounds like a recipe for disaster.
