I think my boyfriend’s granny fancies me – she likes to stare at my breasts

DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend’s gran seems to fancy me and it’s so uncomfortable.

I am a woman of 25 and my other half is 28.

His gran said we could move in with her while we save to rent a flat.

Plus, she only wanted housework done in return, so I couldn’t believe our luck.

She’s 67. She started off by saying I was pretty but her remarks have got more sexual.

Sometimes she says I’ve got fluff on my bum and goes to remove it, or she squashes past me in her galley kitchen to wash her hands when she’s only just washed them.

Last night, over dinner, I caught her blatantly staring at my breasts. She’s starting to give me the creeps.

My boyfriend says I’m imagining it and we’ve been arguing so much more since I brought it to his attention.

DEIDRE SAYS: She might not realise she is being inappropriate but it is better if you ask her firmly to respect your personal space.

My support pack called Standing Up For Yourself will help you find the right words.

Try not to be left alone with her.

When you are talking, ask about her social life and encourage her to find some new friendships. It may take the emphasis away from you.
