Our neighbor (f45) had been a bit plump, not really obese, but she could stand to lose a few pounds.

Lately, though, she has been losing weight. She does not work out, no cardio, resistance training, etc. My wife guesses that she has been using one of those new prescriptions like Ozempic or Wegovy.

She looks good and my wife has told her that. I notice the weight loss but I don't say anything. I mind my own business.

Today, my wife sees her and says you better not lose too much weight, too fast. But I know what my wife is doing. She wants her to tell that she's been taking prescription meds. My wife also thinks her statement comes off as a compliment.

I tell my wife in private to mind your own business, she's a grown woman, she knows what she's doing. She does not look unhealthy, she's just thin.

Then my wife yells at me, as if to say, I'll say what I want.

I say, Mind your own business, we know she's taking the prescriptions, leave her be. Maybe she wants privacy, don't make her self conscious.

Am I the asshole for considering my neighbor's privacy over my wife's inquisitiveness?
