I have a very nosy neighbour. She is very unsocial and she never likes people visiting my house. One of my friend who is wife of my hubby's friend was coming to help me in my domestic works she simply tried to insult her and in return my friend stopped coming to my house. I don't know what to do with her?

one thing you can do is basically ignore her...if you are paying your rent, you can have whoever you want in your house..but if she is really always in your business, you might have to confront her and ask her what her problem is..some people try to get into other people's lives because they don't have one of their own..

oh my gosh. we have the same kind of neighbour. i experienced that a lot. being gossiped by neighbour. discouraging my visitors to visit. if there is some visitor knocking on my gate they will tell my visitors that there's no one in my home even though there's people in my home. they will do that intentionally. i feel that they are jealous of so many things. they don't like us having visitors and enjoying our life. they want us to be as miserable as them. i suffered decades because of my neighbor. thank God that neighbour had located to already to somewhere far away from here. but i still have some problem who happened to be the friend of my gosipper nieghbour. but just fine they don't live across our home the way my former gossiper used to live. at least those some gossiper neighbour left is some house away from my home.

I have a couple thoughts here. First, if your friend stopped coming to your house just because of your nosy neighbor, what kind of loyalty is that? Nothing short of actual physical violence could keep me away from my friends whom I love, so I can't understand not visiting just because of an insulting neighbor. My second thought is... when I have nosy neighbors, I just give them more and more to talk about, because it's amusing. After a while, it no longer interests them to talk about me, because I'm always outrageous enough that I'm just no longer interesting. I become just "That weird girl that lives over there" and they don't bother me. =P

What you do in your house is your business and she needs to be told to butt out. You are an adult, you do not need or want a protector,You may have to be rude to her, but it isn't like she hasn't asked for it.

just ignore her. don't waste your time with people like her. they don't deserve a second of your time. in due time this neighbor will just stop bugging you if she does not get any reactions from you.
