Its bothering me because 1)im married 2) he lives with his girlfriend and 2 children. 3) his girlfriend wasnt there for a week ( the car was gone any way and i didnt see any children) i think they have been fighting. but any way what would you do if you were in this situation?

The problem is if he is just looking , you can't do anything. But what I would love to do to a Peeping Tom is let him see something terrifying and when he tries to report it, make it seem that it didn't happen . And have the cops know that the only way he could have know what happen is he has been a Peeping Tom.All I can suggest is vidoetape yourself. If he does anything weird , it will be on tape. It won't be able to be used in criminal court, but you can show the tape to both your husband and his girlfriend. Good Luck.

Well its his window! And its a free country! Would you want him to pull the blinds everytime you go outside? What difference does it make, that you are married? Does this make it wrong for him to see you? So he lives with his Gf? Should he rush out and get married so he can look out of his window when your outside? I'm sorry but your discussion doesn't make a Lot of sense! I think you are the nosy Parker in this situation! You seem be overly concerned with your neighbors Business. If I was in your situation, I would go about my yardwork without paying any attention to my neighbor.

is he specifically staring at you? Some people are just nosey. I know my dad, for example, will constantly stare out the window and talk about whatever he can see (even though no one else cares) because he has no respect for privacy. Your neighbour could be like that - just wants to know what you're doing because he's rude and nosey. Although if there is anything else your neighbour does which gives you a reason to be suspicious then try asking him why he keeps looking or say you are uncomfortable with it.

I'd stare back. If he continues staring, I'd try and out stare him. If he acts all friendly, then that's be fine, but if he moves away from the window, then he knows he's been busted and will most likely not do it again. Nadine.
