DEAR ABBY: I’m a 19-year-old guy and live with my parents. We have this neighbor, “Ed,” who, until recently, was friends with my dad.
We’ve hung out with him several times and have even gone over to each other’s houses to watch sports games and eat dinner.
The problem is, Ed has become very overbearing and strange. He has always been a little off the wall, which, at first, we both found hilarious. But since then, his foul language and vulgarities have rubbed us the wrong way.
He’s disrespectful to his wife and son, which I know isn’t my business, but Dad and I are over it.
Lately, Ed has been constantly calling and texting my dad. Now he has started texting me asking why my father isn’t responding. I don’t know how he got my number. Last month, Ed walked into our house through our sliding glass door while I was home alone watching TV.
Dad seems to want to just ignore the issue, but I think it’s the wrong move. Should I approach this nosy and indignant neighbor?
