One of my neighbors used to hit on me shamelessly. When one neighbor had a bonfire, he'd offer me a seat.. on his lap. He constantly asked where my kids were and, if they were with their dad, would say "OH, so you're ALONE" in that very obvious way. It was done in kind of a joking, overly sleazy way that I could blow off or joke away but I also knew that if I took the bait or gave him any indication that I'd consider it, he would go for it. I wouldn't do that to his wife. It was well known in the neighborhood that he cheated on her repeatedly. When he finally told her outright about one of his girlfriends, she kicked him out. I was relieved. I have still never said a word to her about how uncomfortable his overtures made me or how he was so obnoxious. She doesn't need more fuel on that fire and she's away from it now, so there's no reason.
