My (M41) wife, Becky (F39), is planning on traveling abroad to visit her sister and her family in the next few days. She’ll be gone for the next 2 and a half weeks. Over the past year, my wife has become very good friends with our neighbour, Emily (F37), who lives a few houses down.

Long story short, Emily makes me feel uncomfortable, and I think she’s trying to make a move on me. At first, I thought she was joking, and I didn’t think much of her behavior, but now it only makes me feel uncomfortable.

Earlier today, Becky told me that she chatted with Emily and mentioned how she’d be going overseas for a few weeks. She said that Emily offered to come by and drop off some food for us (myself and our eleven-year-old daughter, Alice) from time to time.

Becky was reluctant to agree, but after Emily insisted, she finally agreed. I was surprised that she’d agree to this without consulting me first, so I told her that it made me uncomfortable. Becky said that “Emily means well” and it would be rude if we were to refuse now. I said okay, but that she shouldn’t be surprised if Alice and I “forget” to open the door every time Emily comes knocking.

Becky said that I was being a jerk to someone offering us kindness.

AITA?
