Hi, First post but been lurking for a while, in a bit of a conundrum - more of a WWYD.
We moved into our house a month ago and our neighbours constantly argue - or more our male neighbor constantly shouts at his wife- because I'm at home all day I hear it and honestly it is a lot of the time- it starts at 5am and the shouting is regular until fairly late (only stopping for short periods or if he leaves the house) we've seen him but not her- he's probably 50-60 years old. When he shouts I can actually hear what he's saying and sometimes it's pretty aggressive 'I can't do anything fucking right/ you never fucking wash/ you're disgusting'. We can't really hear his wife that often shouting back.
I asked the previous tenants if they always argued and they said he was deaf and just to ask him to keep it down. The thing is I could accept that if he wasn't being aggressive with the shouting.
I don't really know what to do - I don't really want to address it directly with him as I said he seems quite aggressive and I don't think it would necessarily do anything - I am worried that the lady is quite vulnerable and could potentially suffer from MH problems (Just from what we have overheard)
I hate the idea of a possibly vulnerable lady being verbally abused day after day but I also don't want to over step the mark and get involved in something that's could be said isn't our business and potentially sour neighbour relations... I absolutely hate listening to the shouting all day it really does affect my mood and I'm also expecting a baby and I'm worried they might report any crying to try to get back at us ( I have a history of depression/anxiety so may be massively overthinking this)
So basically I guess I am asking would it be unreasonable to report it or should we just accept they may have a volatile relationship? If we were to report it who would we even report it to?
