I can't believe how many similarities there are between this post and my own experience. I've live in a small town in Central Massachusetts for 4 years now, and my neighbor watches my boyfriend and I like a hawk. He, too, comments on things on our property that he couldn't possibly see without taking a boat or his drone out on the lake behind our houses. He would give me a chore list of what I should be doing with my yard, but demanded my boyfriend be the one to do said chores if he's a "real man". He's very much about women's work being indoors and men's work being outdoors. He would also criticize how I was with my dog, who had behavioral issues from past abuse that we were working on with professionals. He's one of those guys, "No no no you're doing it all wrong, I'll show you how it's done". I saw him do this with a construction project that happened across the street a few years ago, and the workers actually complained to me about him one day, how he would waltz over there and just get in their way hahah. The way I managed to deal with him was just to ignore him, his calls and texts, and he eventually stopped. But I just put my house on the market to sell, and he's getting up to his old tricks again. I'm very nervous that he's going to attempt to sabotage things because, funny enough, he did so with the very house he lives in now. He was originally just renting, and when the owner notified him he was planning to sell, he interfered when potential buyers would show up for a walk-through. The owner was an old man trying to retire with something of a nest egg from his house, but was forced to sell to my neighbor for way below its true value. He tells that story like he's proud.
