I've lived at my address for 10+ years and had a great relationship with our joined neighbours for all that time.
All of a sudden, she's stopped speaking. It's a completely different atmosphere. I've asked her about it face to face but she rushed in under the pretence of needing the toilet. So, later, I sent a message checking if there was something wrong or something I've done. She responded no but there very obviously is. Her husband still chatted buts she's closed off.
We usually chat back and forth over the fence. Help each other out etc, etc. It's going to be very different now if we're not speaking. Like not even a hello, acknowledgement on eye contact?!
I'm feeling anxious and it's bugging me but I can't make someone tell me what the problem is or force them to speak to me.
My husband is very much like their problem, not mine, leave her to it but I can't close it off like that.
How would you deal with this? Anyone have experience?
If it's not any better by the weekend then I think I'll send one last message and accept it.
