Nosy parker
Have you ever encountered that one person who is more involved in your relationship than you are? That one person who is always asking how things are going in your relationship and who is always willing to give you relationship advice when they themselves have been out of a relationship for years?
How would you handle a nosy parker?
Jocelyn, 39:
I have a girlfriend who is like this. She has on more than one occasion said that she is living her love life through her friends. She is single and feels the need to tell me how to deal with certain things in my relationship. I don’t really pay her much attention, instead I keep certain topics of my relationship to myself.
Derrick, 28:
My ex-girlfriend’s sister is like that. I just told my girl that I couldn’t cope with it because her input was affecting our relationship. I eventually ended the relationship. It was as if I was in a relationship with both of them at once.
Geneva, 26:
I would have to put her in her place. I don’t want anybody up in my relationship like that; she is no Dr Phil.
Daevon, 27:
You have some men who are just as nosy as women. And they speak with such know-how when it comes to other people’s lives, yet theirs is in turmoil — their woman left them, their side chick is pregnant and their baby mother is taking them to court for child support, yet they find time to insert themselves in your life.
Nicole, 30:
I would have to find a man for her so she wouldn’t have time to be nosy.
