AITA for refusing to let a strange older woman into my house at night?

When you’re home alone at night, every unexpected knock feels unsettling. So when a woman I barely recognized tried to push her way into my house with only a vague explanation, my instincts screamed that something wasn’t right. What started as an ordinary evening quickly turned into a tense standoff at my front door, leaving me torn between protecting myself and worrying whether I’d just made a terrible mistake.

Time to see how Reddit weighs in on this drama.

In the end, I learned it was all a misunderstanding — the woman was my neighbor, locked out and waiting for her husband. Looking back, I can see how it all made sense from her perspective, but in the moment, I only had fragments of a very suspicious situation. I still feel guilty for shutting her out, but I know I made the safest choice with the information I had. Better to feel awkward afterward than to risk opening the door to danger.
