My Husband, Neighborhood Casanova....

Mark is doing some work for our neighbors, who are in the midst of moving. It started as a favor, and has become a small paying job, which is nice, I guess (though living next door to you clients can be trying). That said, the work is in two phases, the second of which he offered to take care of this evening, since he'll be available after his normal work day. When he suggested this, a few days ago, to J, the husband over there, he was shot down. Apparently J will be away on business all week, and felt it wasn't appropriate for Mark to be in the house alone with C, the wife.

Mark and I giggled extensively, since our houses are all of thirty feet apart, and there's mostly glass between us. Hardly the best opportunity for inappropriate behavior!

Should I be offended that J feels Mark might have reason to stray? Mark doesn't seem to be bothered that sometimes J comes over and hangs out with me in the backyard with our dogs?

Oh, suburban drama.
