Jeez, it's a neighbor and her life. I'd wander over with the 2 beers to the new guy (if I were so inclined) if he looked at all accessible. (Actually, I'd never cross my property line with a beer unless it was decided beforehand that was invited. It was just a figure of speech taken from the context.) Unless you are in a friendship with the former husband and he is coming over to your house still, it's a new day in a different month. Chances are you won't be seeing much of the former and you had nothing to do with the breakup.

Besides, what do you know about what went on behind their door? Sounds to me like she was trapped in a dead end relationship with a "barfly."

People come and people go.......mostly for the better. I say that in the sense that water seeks its own level. I'm not dissing your "former" friend. Far from it. He may wind up in a better place, too. I think the woman was a triffle compulsive and I'll bet he avoids that next time around like the plague.
