I understand the neighborhood dilemma. Ran into my old next door neighbor Frank the other day at Home Depot. We use to drink beer, joke and just talk about anything in our garages. Nothing was out of bounds. Now, the only conversation we could muster for our 10 minute encounter was about caulk, paint and drywall screws. He thanked me for the stbx lending him my drill, so I guess I'm still good for something in the neighborhood.

Really awkward anymore when I see the neighbors, her family and I have no clue what the STBX is telling them.
