Asking Eric: My Friends in My HOA Shunned Me for Bringing Issues to Our Board

Questions over unaccounted HOA finances and ignored transparency offers have fractured a decade-long core group of homeowners, causing social rifts and strained friendships.

  • For years, a core HOA social group remained close, but the letter-writer organized a group of owners to press the board, prompting friends to shun them.
  • Lately, HOA upkeep and communication have declined, with the HOA president holding that position for more than 20 years, while community common areas deteriorate and financial details remain unaccounted for.
  • Boundary-Crossing behavior included a naked run at the annual fall campout, one male member receiving up to five texts a day and a tent request, while female members showing interest left him conflicted.
  • The writer reports that gatherings feel different despite their respectfulness, losing long-term friendships has been hurtful, and the columnist's advice urges talking to uninvolved friends to grieve and accept the change.
  • The columnist recommends acceptance and grieving, encouraging the writer and their husband to pursue couples counseling and individual therapy for boundary and relationship issues.
