Should I say something to the neighbour?

Almost every weekend our NDN, a young couple, have an argument. It's usually Friday and/or Saturday evening, anytime from 7pm onwards. Literally every week. They've just started again now. I can't hear what they argue about, but it always sounds like they are both shouting, him angry and her upset, and usually ends up in lots of slamming of doors. I try to ignore it, but you can often hear even over the TV etc.

We don't really have anything to do with them, and he isn't very friendly at all. I've spoken to her a few times when we've taken in parcels for each other and that kind of thing, and she seems nice, if very shy.

I worry about her though with these arguments, as she often sounds like she's in tears. I don't know him at all, but he comes off as a bit of an arsehole whereas she seems nice, and I feel bad for her. I've often thought about knocking and seeing if she's OK, but I don't want to be a busybody or stick my nose in where it's not wanted. I also wouldn't have a clue what to say if he opened the door!

I’d stay out of it unless you became concerned that either were at risk of harm from the other

I would get her on her own and say

Hi, I’ll get straight to the point, every week you and your partner rowing can be heard quite clearly and apart from we don’t want to hear it we are concerned for your welfare.

Your voices sound aggressive and if we hear you again we will call the police.

Or just call the police the next time they are at it and say that you don’t want the police telling them it was you as the bloke sounds nasty.

Knock on the door during the day.

He answers, say "sorry to bother you I'm waiting for a parcel and just wondering if it was delivered to you today before I chase it up with the sender"

She answers, "hey there's a lot of shouting at the weekends is your partner a drinker? Is there anything I can do to help?"

Her response will help you figure out what to do next, post again here to figure out if you're not sure.
