I really, so very much really don't want my ex-husband being pushed my shared items feed. it's just creepy!! and I need to keep him as a gmail contact because we share custody of our dog. so, removing him as a contact is not an option.

so, now I don't “share” any items but re-tag them. and I have emailed the few people I know reading my shared items to tell them of the new feed. but this is more hassle and completely stupid.

This is a non-issue. It is very obvious that Shared Items are, well, shared. Google even clearly states the items have their own public RSS feed. I agree completely. This is a non-issue.
