Default Too Sensitive? Probably, I just don't know

Today I went for a walk at the mall. Too hot outside and our treadmill is in the breezeway where it's no ac. I was walking up to the house after my walk and my hubby opened the front door. I stupidly thought it was to let me in. Apparently not, he was looking at the neighbors cat (more about her later) on our front lawn. He saw me, proceeded to slam the door shut while I had to walk around the house to the back in 100 degree heat. NICE!

Earlier this single lady next door texted him to ask if he could take her to pick her car up from being serviced at the Ford dealership. Fine, I have no prob with that. Then she texts him to ask if he can feed her cats this weekend as she will be away. Fine again, no prob. THEN she texts him Happy Birthday. She says it was a mistake, she meant to text her niece. OK but then of course he has to call her and yuck it up haha it isn't my birthday. THEN he says he is going to text her and ask where his birthday gift is and I said NO let it go.

Should I just let stuff like this go, hold it in and just try and swallow my hurt feelings?

I spent YEARS not saying when things bothered me and all it did was fester inside me. Now speaking up has it's cons sometimes but the pros far outweigh them.

Either you feel bad today or you feel bad later. Take your pick. I'd rather do it today and get it over with.

shes crossing the line!!!!!!!!!!! silly string her car when its really hot out so it will melt into it

really, i think you are better then me. I would have said hell no to the cat feeding thing. shes using him and trying to be sly about hitting on him. if she really wanted to tell him happy birthday (even though it wasnt)
she could have easily walked up to your front door knocked and told him. thats what a respectful woman would do!

O he has everyone's cell number and visa versa. The 91 year old lady down the road, the neighbor across the street. It is just weird. I never lived like that, so close to my neighbors and it's hard to get used to.

I will say she never calls or texts, maybe twice or three times a year. Sorry I made it sound like she does it all the time, but yes I find it very strange to have all your neighbors cell phone numbers too.

She never calls or texts, maybe twice a year and I really like her, she is a very nice lady but again like I've said before on other posts this neighborhood is just too close. They all have each others cells numbers, just very strange.

Totally innapropriate. She should be asking you not him. No he shouldn't be taking her to pick up her car, she should ask you, and if she's not comfortable with that then it shouldn't happen.

My husband is a cop and he has everyone's phone number too. He does it cause he's so darn helpful and friendly. Our new neighbor's husband had a heart attack. My husband heard the call come out and rushed home. He's been checking on both of them for the past week since it happened via phone as well as visiting. Whole conversations that I know nothing about. I just now met the wife yesterday. LOL

I don't live like this either but he does.

Thankfully I trust him 100%. He's too honorable to cheat. This is a man who beyond ethical almost to the point of being over the top.

maybe for safety? i dont know many neighbors now days that are that close. around here anyways!

i understand you may like her, which makes it hard for you.
i can see where you would be angry at her for being persistant with your husband.
your husband also was going to give in to the text message until you put your foot down!!!
this little miss lady next door is starting to overstep her boundaries! not good.

Depends. I have ZERO interest in helping the neighbors but my husband lives for those kind of things. So I'd much rather she talk to him than me. If for any reason I were threatened by her or any other woman I'd speak up. So far in 21 years that has never happened.

Once he was helping the widow of an officer who had been killed in the line of duty. He began to feel her calls were becomming inappropriate so HE stopped it and told me about it afterwards.

I know now there are no definate rules on these type things. What works for me might not work for others. I'm not going to stop my husband from helping women. I have faith that his boundaries are very strong.
