I didn’t say that he’s doing it but rather that it could be seen as that. It’s their BOTH neighbour. They are married and aren’t even legally separated. It’s still her house too. If he was talking to HIS sister or a therapist or his own best friend, it’s different.

Of course everyone can do whatever they see fit. But I am familiar with divorce/custody situations with a lot of people . It’s not recommended to talk poorly about one’s spouse to people you both interacting with or your spouse does: neighbours, mutual friends, your spouses relatives, their coworkers etc

Seeking support from a neighbour would be different if they divorced, she permanently moved out and has no ways to ever move back in. If I hypothetically had marital problems, I’d not want my husband telling OUR neighbours about things I might do wrong.

Thanks for this!
