When a moment of conflict arises, one person expresses a need to talk about an issue of significant importance to them and the other avoids it. The result is a lasting resentment between the two that eventually declines the value of friendship.
When he expressed the need to talk, though clearly disturbed and hurt, she "backed out" with a hope that nothing would happen.

A variant of "don't bite the hand that feeds you", 'Don't shit in your own backyard' means don't trash a good thing, take advantage of or ruin a close relationship. If you have a positive situation or loving or giving person in your life, you should be careful to protect it/them. When you abuse the situation, person or relationship and deliberately commit an act that you know is potentially harmful or injurious to the situation or person that is good to you, you run the risk of ruining it. Any act that you know would hurt the one with whom you are affiliated and potentially ruin the relationship forever if they found out. The hospitable one (the house with the yard or security) is fouled or injured by your actions (shit upon) which ultimately poisons the soil (the growth medium, sustaining qualities that nurture). Conscious or willful sabotage through selfish actions that generally involves planning and premeditation but can be impulsive. An ultimate act of betrayal through a degree of separation that taints or destroys a perfectly good thing or relationship for no good reason.
Examples of "don't shit in your own backyard" would include pursuing/sleeping with your best friend's or bosses' spouse or significant other; pursuing/sleeping with a mentor's friend; pursuing/sleeping with a friend's close friend that you're interested in; using a person to get close to another; stealing your parent's/friend's car; ditching a loving parent for another adult; keeping secrets you know would further hurt the injured party; wiping the house you're staying at clean; stealing from a friend or relative.

Get the don't shit in your own backyard mug.When a total hoosier has the decency to keep his front yard well kept, BUT the backyard is a different story.
Your backyard looks like a nigger lives in your house. There is a trailer made out of a hacked up pop-up camper you were conceived in 30 years ago, your ex-roommate's metro-sexual VW Passat he left to you in lue of the past 24 months rent, and a BBQ pit collection only Sanford and Son could dream of.

Dood, your front yard is as nice as the fairways of St. Andrews! But the back yard; there are 4 fucking cars, only one of which run and have current license plates, and only two of the four have inflated tires. You my true friend, are a Backyard Nigger, thanks for thinking of your neighbors in your, despite your lack of self respect.
