My married neighbour is starting to become obsessed with me. How do I stop this from escalating?
So my neighbour, who is married has a crush on me and it seems like it's affecting her marriage considering she was caught staring at me from her window by her husband while I was gardening for an hour(I saw the outline of her body from the window) and it led to a fight which I heard from across the street. She had her mother in law come by and she was crying outside while continuing to intensely stare at me while I was gardening. This situation is starting to weird me out. I now avoid her at every moment. I think she's just struggling with a dissatisfying marriage and raising hyperactive kids and probably sees me as an escape. Her Husband seems depressed. And it doesn't help that I'm ignoring her every move, which as an attractive woman is probably something she's not used to. I assume I'm not her first object of limerance.
But still, I really want to avoid triggering neighbourhood drama as I'm planning on moving out.
If I'm outside for more than an hour, I feel like she's staring at me. Her Husband hates me.

From where I sit, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s why opinions are all over the place
At first glance, the timing matters more than people admit That’s just how it reads to me.
Putting bias aside, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s what people are responding to Feels like an opening move, not an ending. At least from my perspective.
this comes across more reactive than planned Not convinced this is settled yet.
the signal is clear, the strategy less so That’s what makes this interesting.
Putting bias aside, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where people will push back Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
On the surface, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where it gets complicated
From the outside, this feels more about execution than intent which explains why reactions are split That’s the key detail here. Hard to say where this lands long term. Others will probably see it differently.
Honestly, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.
Without overthinking it, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why opinions are all over the place We’ll see how people react over time. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
If we’re being honest, this feels more about execution than intent
Without overthinking it, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s what people are responding to
On the surface, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s the key detail here. That’s just how it reads to me.
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here That’s what changes the context. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

Stepping back, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just my read on it.
Real talk, this feels rushed rather than thought through That’s what changes the context. Interested to see the follow-up. At least from my perspective.
