My NDN moved in a few years ago a single lady with adult son.
Son has moved out.
BF moved in few months after.
He has a very jovial public persona, but the walls are paper thin and we can hear every argument word for word.
They both drink a lot. Especially in summer, part time jobs, then sitting in the garden with wine for much of the day/eve. When they have had a lot to drink they often row.
On many occasions I have heard her shout "ow, get off me, you're hurting me" or similar. Once I heard her telling him to get out or she'd call the police (hadn't heard him hurting her though, that time).
Then last year they got married.
It settles down in winter, but over the last few months I can hear them again, about once a week arguing and once a month him hurting her :(
But when they're sober they seem to get on really well. They conduct much of their life on the patio and we can hear most conversations when we have windows open.
Does she have a choice here? Is she choosing to stay with this pathetic excuse for a man?
We used to exchange pleasantries with her, but after we had a loud conversation one night with some friends who had come round about her precious incessant yappy dogs she blanks us.
He on the other hand....can't stop him when he gets chatting and is very 'friendly' to us.
I don't feel I can talk to her about it, as she has bad feeling towards us. Sometimes I wonder about calling the police during an argument.
Oh, and they have really loud make up sex and then a fag on the patio under my bedroom window and shoot the breeze together, chatting about this and that, as if nothing had happened.
Wwyd? Anything?
