What would you do? On holiday, big row in room next door

[Stranged]

We were woken up this morning by shouting from the room opposite us. Sounded like a horrible argument, very heated and aggressive on both sides. The man stormed out, and shortly after 2 security guards knocked on their door. The woman was asking about the possibility of separate rooms but the guards were saying there weren’t any.

A couple of days ago I knocked on this couple’s door by mistake (thought it was our friends’ room) and I ended up having a short chat to the woman. I don’t know now if I should find an opportunity to ask her if she’s ok, or if I should just mind my own business. I’m tending towards the latter - probably because when I tried once (years ago) to intervene and stop a child being hit, I was punched and I’m a bit wary now of ever getting involved.

Just leave it. They have had a row, that’s all.

I probably will leave it. Don’t want to interfere or be a busybody in any way but was just a bit worried for her - esp if things were bad enough for her to want to move rooms.

We were on holiday last year and the room next to us was jinxed.

First couple were American and they had a late argument ending with him sleeping on the balcony. Second couple late night arguing 'I don't love you' - 'well I don't love you either' bang/crash.

Just out of interest, why are you worried for her? You say in your post they were both being heated and aggressive.

Some people argue/Me and DH are big arguers, we do a lot of shouting
which is why we usually get a private villa so as to not inflict it on others

As long as there was no evidence of violence then you really should stay well out of it. I'm sure they are capable of seeking help if they need it - and even if one of them is being abused they aren't likely to admit it to you anyway so you can't help. Just be friendly!

Yes they were both shouting and swearing, but she was crying too. And I thought she might have been frightened if she called security. But truthfully I don’t know who called them - maybe he did. So you’re right, I shouldn’t jump to conclusions.
