I feel bad venting, but....
I can't help it. We have the BEST neighbors anyone could ever ask for. Both sets of NDNs as well as the family across the street. NDN is a great guy. He always bends over backwards to help us with anything we need.
But he's been getting to be kind of a PITA lately. He and DH have developed a "bro-mance" over the last few months, which I'm all for us having friends and all but it's gotten to where the guy wants DH to come over every single day. He planned on going over tonight to watch MNF since he took tomorrow off, but NDN then asked him to come over 4 hours early and watch the baseball game as well.
I think this week is what really set off my irritation. Not only did he text DH 100+ times while we were OOT this weekend, but he also texted him Friday morning complaining about how he bought beer and thought DH would be over the previous night even though he knew my cousin's MIL passed away and we were bringing them dinner and spending time with them since we were going to be OOT for the funeral.
I love the guy to death but DH is not single. He can't come running every time a sporting event is on in the garage and the fridge is full of beer. I had friends that expected that (as I always put them first when I was single) and we no longer hang out.
End rant...

Um stalker??
Seriously, that's a little much. I hope Mike can find a way to tell him gently that he needs a little space and some uninterrupted time with his family. It's tough bc he's your next door neighbor, so of course you don't want hard feelings. That's a tough situation... good luck!
I do feel bad griping because they're such good people. I'm fine catching up on DVR shows whenever he goes over there. TBH the only thing that truly annoys me is the over-abundance of texting whenever we're on vacation.
BTW when he was married to SD's mom his neighbor at that house was the same way but a LOT worse. 9 times out of 10 the guy would come over with all 3 of his kids and wouldn't leave. DH would have to kick them out so he could wind down and go to bed on the work nights! Other times he'd hide in the house if he saw the guy looking out his window for him! LOL!

Actually no, he's married with a teenage kid. I love his wife too, she's so sweet. But they've been married almost 20 years so I guess the "doing their own thing" has set in. My cousin and her DH are the same way. 26 years of marriage and 2 kids in their 20s they do the "her inside, him outside" thing as well.
I think it's because he's happy to have a fun neighbor his age to hang with now because the people that lived there before us and before them were elderly. We bought the house from the widow. Like I said, I appreciate everything they do for us and all their generosity. But he needs to understand that DH isn't going to drop us for him every night.
