We recently moved to a new place and our immediate neighbour has become a source of pain for me. I think she likes my hubby. She deliberately stands at the door of her house and makes small talk. Her door is always ajar during the day as her kid plays in the corridor. I trust my life partner a lot and I’m sure that he won’t slip that easily. But at the same time, I’m worried about her intentions. Her husband is always away and this makes me more tense. We can’t leave this house anytime soon either.
