Hello everybody.
I joined this forum looking for some advice. I have a strong attraction to my neighbor, but the dynamic is complicated. I'd like to share what is going on and would love some advice.
Okay, I live in a home that is owned by my parents. My parents live in the same town as me but 5 minutes away. They are still paying off the mortgage on the home so I pay them directly with a set rent each month. My parents also own and rent the home next door to the one I currently occupy.
A Japanese woman moved into said home this summer. She has two kids (8 and 9) and was born and raised in Japan. She is very educated and is in the States for at least a year working a very good job. She is I believe 10 years older than me. (I'm 30.) I'm single, in shape, and very good looking. When I met her, she told me her husband worked as a doctor in Japan and that he would be coming to visit roughly every 3 or 4 months for a week at a time.
Her children are very sweet and I make a point to say hello whenever I encounter them. Their mother however refrains from having any sort of long conversations with me. After a few verbal exchanges she usually excuses herself or essentially implies that she needs to go inside or go somewhere or whatever. We get along just fine but it seems impossible to really get to know her.
This woman has a sister who is about 4 years older than me. She is single and not ugly but I'm not really attracted to her. I've met her on few occasions as she has come from Japan to visit and she has expressed a strong interest in me. Her interest in me comes off as a boyfriend scenario and not a sex one. Complicating things are my desires for her sister (my neighbor) and the fact that I don't want to bang my parents tenants sister. (Unless of course I was super into her, which I'm not.) The sister comes to visit once every 2 months for a week or so.
It turns out my neighbor is separated from her husband and he is living with another woman in Japan. I met him over the summer and later found out that he slept on the couch in their home during said visit. I know this because this woman has semi befriended my mother and they had a heart to heart chat about 2 months ago. This man has also been abusive to this woman in the past. I'm not sure if it's physical, verbal, emotional, or some sort of combo. But I know that this woman has had issues in the past with him and that she's in a rough spot because she would like to divorce him and live in the States full time but he doesn't want that plus the kids are stuck in the middle.
I'm Facebook friends with the sister. My neighbor's son is also my FB friend. He requested the connection. I friend requested my neighbor however she has not accepted in the week since the friend request. Her profile pic hasn't changed in that time so I don't know how into FB she is.
I want this woman badly. I don't want to date her but I'm incredibly attracted to her. And my desires became serious once I knew about her issues with her husband. I imagine that she hasn't been banged in a long time and sleeping with her hot young neighbor (me) would not be impossible to consider at least.
Lastly, when she first moved in, we texted back and forth a few times because my parents were in Europe on vacay at the time and I was essentially her contact if she needed anything. She was nice and pleasant via text but after that initial move in period we never texted again. I did text her a few times this past fall (once because her sister wanted to say goodbye to me before returning to Japan and another reason for something tenant info related that I simply needed to pass along) and in both instances she never responded. In her defense I didn't need a response but still it would have been nice.
So that's it. I want to express an interest in this woman but I find it borderline impossible. I'm thinking about sending her a random text just saying hello and to let me know if she needs anything. I know that is weak but that's all I got really. (Maybe if she replies I can follow up with a question?) Her sister is coming next week so I'd probably wait until the sister went back to Japan. Also, I have to be kinda careful here because she is my parents tenant and I don't want to come off as creepy, annoying, or weird. She also has a lot on her plate. (2 young kids to raise, a broken marriage, not knowing what to do about the future and her family.)
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
