To make things worse, her husband also sided with him and suggested that she dress modestly behind closed doors.
Reddit users from the AITA forum shared their bizarre situation with the newlywed woman to try and find some relief.
She said that she just returned from her honeymoon and had been wearing lingerie since she came home. So, she would sometimes go out in her underwear early in the morning.
The woman explained: “The other day I was in the kitchen preparing coffee while my husband was out and heard a knock on the door, I immediately went to grab my long rope before answering.”
She was met by her next-door neighbour who said that her seven-year old daughter, his disgruntled daughter, has a straight view of her lounge from her bedroom.
He expressed outrage at the fact that the youngster had spotted her recently wearing it. “inappropriate clothes”While using her binoculars.
The woman continued: “I had been taken back.
“Turns out his daughter uses her binoculars to supposedly watch the yard but she obviously peeped through our large glass windows to see inside even though we have curtains on.”
It was rude to her from a neighbor who said it was not appropriate and that his child had. “seen something she cannot unsee, that is not appropriate”.
She stated in the post: “I asked him what he meant and he requested that I be a little considerate when it comes to clothing (or lack of) but I thought that was just ridiculous since that it is my house.”
Despite her insistence that she can wear what she likes in her own home and the knowledge that the little girl was allowed to do so, she refused. “no business peeping”The nosy neighbor defended his position.
He claimed that his daughter was only a child. “curious”Before the woman asked him to go, he was a child and didn’t mean any harm.
She continued: “He didn’t accept it well and implied he’d take steps for me to ensure that I don’t expose my daughter to things like that in future.”
“He left and I just thought my entire day was ruined especially after he said he’d bring this incident to the neighbourhood group’s attention.”
‘PROBLEMATIC’
After she informed her husband about the dispute, expecting him to support her, he told her coldly that he was happy for her to tell the truth and that she should follow his lead. “just leave the lingerie in the bedroom”.
He even gave her instructions to “learn to put some decent clothes on to avoid this type of incident”.
“He also said I was wrong to speak to our neighbour like that and that if he was in his shoes and his kid witnessed ‘that’ he’d be just as furious if not more, so we should cut our neighbour some slack,”She continued.
Reddit users were shocked and rushed to her defense, encouraging her not to give up and to wear whatever she wants.
One wrote: “Both of you are being blamed for being cozy behind closed doors, while the neighbor’s child peer through windows with binoculars.
“He should teach his child to mind their damn business.”
An additional: “I have a seven-year-old. If she did that I would take away the binoculars and have a serious talk with her about respecting privacy.”
A third person added: “Your neighbor is, and the fact that your husband agreed to them is problematic.”
“He should buy you more lingerie as an apology. Then you can wear it around your house.”
