'My husband keeps fixing our neighbour's home - but our shower's been broken for months'

An unnamed husband has received quite the backlash online after doing odd jobs for his ex two doors down, but not fixing the shower for his wife at home. The wife anonymously took to Mumsnet to explain that her husband and the neighbour two doors down once had a brief fling which the wife says irks her.

However, in recent months the woman has asked her husband to come round to do odd jobs in the house when things get broken. The husband and all of his friends are tradesmen so the odd house jobs are easy. But his wife explained that while he does these things for the neighbour, he is yet to fix their own shower despite her asking.

In her Mumsnet post, the wife explained: "She is constantly asking him for favours and to help her with “man jobs” like cutting a hedge and moving furniture etc. And yet he will never do any of our jobs around the house like fix the shower. He is a tradesman and his mates are tradesmen….so the jobs can easily be done!"
