I am semi retired but work 20 hours a week during the day to make a few extra dollars and keep busy.


My wife who is in her early 50s is retired and is home much of the time.


One time I came home and one of our neighbors was sitting in the living room socializing with my wife. He is married and retired. Nice guy. But I wonder how common it is for married men to socialize with married women in their homes when their spouses are away.


I let it go because I know she is lonely and enjoys his company but maybe others will talk. What are your thoughts?

My thoughts: keep your mouth shut to avoid making a fool of yourself. I strongly suspect that "the others" you talk about is your jealousy. Don't blow it.

I think YOU TWO should talk.

So if the neighbor was a woman, it would be OK, but because it is a man, it's wrong?

Did you bother to find out why he was there? There could be a very good reason why he was.

How about talking to your wife about it....

That's for you and your "wife" to decide.

OP, he's married. What are you worried about? If she were running single guys through there while you're away, that could be a concern. But having a neighbor over? At a time when she knew you'd be coming home from work? I don't see a problem here.

What's your main concern?, That something's going on or people will talk? ( I know it could be both but just seeing if your actually worried about her cheating or just the gossip side of things cheers ).

Yeah, if she's sneaking around she's doing a really poor job of it

As Ruth said OP he's there in the open at a time she'd expect to see you walk in. I wouldn't overreact. As for people talking, do you really give a s--t?
