This neighbor now knows my husband’s salary and also how much he owes.
DEAR FRUSTRATED: My first suggestion is that you and your husband should go “paperless” and switch all of your financial records, banking, and bill paying to online.Also – tell your neighbor that you understand that mistakes happen, but that you do not want her to open your mail – ever.
It is not illegal to mistakenly open someone else’s mail – as long as the mail makes its way to the appropriate recipient. According to 18 U.S. Code 1702, it is a potentially serious offense to deliberately open someone else’s mail. Notify this neighbor, “This has happened twice now. We look at all the mail that lands in our box very carefully and make sure it is ours before opening it. We expect you to be as careful with our mail as we are with yours. This is a serious violation of our privacy, and we hope it doesn’t happen again.”DEAR AMY: “Basically a Single Mom” described her husband’s neglectful behavior toward their two children.A therapist may help this couple explore why he doesn’t expect to have to do anything.
