| Also why would a late 40s woman want to be friends with me an early 30s dad with a toddler? Add to the fact that my wife doesn't think she likes her, I think she does want me. |
LOL! |
| I'd be displeased if some random neighbor started emailing my husband and I'm typically pretty laid back about this stuff. |
|
Bang away my man!

I can't imagine why she'd want to be friends with you. You sound like a self absorbed ass. |
| Honestly if she's your neighbor you may want to be careful with how you handle this. She may just like to harmlessly flirt or hang out with men instead of women. Wait and see what else she does before you run and tell your wife or use the wife card. She already knows your married. Asking to go to a bar and some emails at this point are harmless, but if it starts being too much then just show her your not interested and DONT FLIRT BACK AT ALL. |
Aren't you charming? It's a question. Not a statement. Acquaintances and friends communicate via email over topics of mutual interest. It's odd that everyone is assuming that soccer couldn't possibly be of interest to the woman. How would she know he's uncomfortable about an email? That's beyond strange anyway. I would think someone completely insane for telling me they didn't want to communicate with me unless in the safe zone of spousal support.

If you were really handsome, (BS) and got hit on all the time, you certainly would have no need of DCUM to tell you how to handle it. I believe you to be: A LIAR!

| OP here. Another thing, I really like her husband. he's a really nice guy, who obliviously works a ton out of the house but I kind of consider him a big brother figure. He's introduced me to a number of people that have been good contacts for work, and has offered to get me into a few clubs here. Solid guy. |
Quick fix: Forward one of these "fairly innocuous" emails to your wife and encourage her to join in the discussion - not in an accusatory or "What's going on here" manner, but just in a "Hey, I hope we kick Germany's ass!" adding to the conversation type of manner and see what develops. If the neighbor backs off its obvious she wasn't merely conversation she wanted. If she continues corresponding with you both then her intentions are reasonably clarified and your wife is in the know and everybody's happy. |

OP - don't let the hens here get under your skin - they all wish to have your problems or to be the other woman (i.e., an attractive MILF). but sadly, they're just sitting in the living room, greasy hair, no makeup, farting out last night's leftovers and hoping they might noticed by the old postman who again delivers the mail to the wrong house.
but back on point you're gut instinct will always serve you right - and listen to that little voice telling you there's danger on the horizon. sounds like she's fishing - maybe she got a vibe from you at a party or maybe it's the titillation of pissing off your wife that get's her hot for you. whatever it is, stay away (unless you want to of course). |
It was a statement. Sounds like you have reading comprehension and boundary issues. |
| Email her some porn "by accident" - - - see what she does. |
| This is so dumb. If it makes you uncomfortable, then shut it down. It's not complicated. But, no, it's not inappropriate at all. You just have a VERY low tolerance for communication from the opposite sex. Your prerogative. |
This. If it makes you uncomfortable, stop. If you are unsure about the situation, stop. If you don't like it, stop. I really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks, or even what the woman sending you emails thinks about you. |
