My husband and I are moving out of our apartment and into a house. The house next door to his best friend is for sale. It's an OK house in a nice neighborhood, but I'm not so sure I'd want to live so near his best friend.
For one thing, it's his best friend's parents' house. His best friend lives in the basement. He's unemployed and not currently seeking employment. From what I can tell, he stays home and plays video games all day.
I fear that if we live next door my husband will go straight there and basically end up living at his house. In college, my boyfriend failed a few classes because his best friend would convince him to skip lectures and studying, and I'm afraid my husband might skip work in order to spend time with his best friend (it's happened before).
Also, his best friend often showed up at our apartment unannounced and asking for food. If he lives next door, I envision many dinners for three.
I'm trying to convince my husband to find a house in a nearby neighborhood so he can still visit easily, but he called me an anti-social stick-in-the-mud b*tch. What should I do?
