I know these people that when they are drinking try to tell me my business. This guy tries to tell me how my ex was. I should know how he was I knew him for 13 years. And him and his wife try to tell me when me and my ex moved here. I am really upset at this. One reason is I should remember when we moved here. They only knew my ex a couple of years how can they tell me how he was? We moved here on the 16th of November it was a few days before Thanksgiving we didn't have a stove to cook on we didn't have much of a house to live in. So I wasn't looking forward to Thanksgiving that year. But the neighbor invited me and my ex down to her house for the holiday. That was the first day I met this couple before they were a couple. Why do people think they know more of my business then I know? I am so upset about it I don't know why I know both are just plain drunks and know nothing? But it still makes me mad that someone is arguing about when I did this or how my ex was. Do you have these kinds of people in your lives ? Is there a person you know that keeps telling you something that you did and know it isn't the truth? What do you do when this happens?
My husband tells me to just say or really! What would you say?

You need to dissociate yourself from this couple - and individually, too. The best way to start is by changing your phone number and don't give them the new one. If you see them on your way in or out, just nod pleasantly and keep going - don't even engage in conversation. If one or the other tries to talk with you, you can politely say, "Can we do this some other time? I need to keep going now.". And then keep going. If they mention they can't reach you on the phone anymore once you change your number, you can say, "We dropped our phone line," and leave it at that.
People like that will do whatever they can to make your life miserable in order for themselves to feel better. If they can be "superior" in some way to you, they don't have to face the reality that they are drunken losers.

Hi Timetravel and welcome to my lot. Good advice when we can we stay away from them. We keep our business to ourselves. We feel exactly as your answer. They do whatever then need to do to make themselves feel better your right. That is one of the reasons we avoid them as much as we can. Don't want to change the number all our family has our number and it would be a hassle for them to have to change our number too. But thank God they don't call that often and they have their own irritating ring.....LOL We put that ring to let us know it is them that are calling. Thanks for the advice.
