Live in a flat with someone living below me. They moved in a year ago and it's been absolute hell ever since. Not slept through a single night since. I sometimes go to a hotel for one night just to sleep.

They have had a blazing row every single day/night since they moved in. They seem unable to speak, All they ever do is scream and shout, Generally it all kicks off at around 11pm and goes on until anything up to 6am, every night. Then they seem to sleep for a few hours then they literally wake up shouting at each other so the mornings are generally a write off too. This goes on for hours until one or both of them leave the flat for maybe an hour, the only peace I ever get. On the very rare one night every few weeks they are not arguing they are drinking all night in the back garden with music blaring, then the argument will start for the next morning all through the day.

Then when they arrive home the entire street knows about it, they are also unable to close doors, they do however know how to slam them so hard my flat vibrates, they slammed their front door so hard at 3am the other night when they went out that something in their flat fell off the wall and smashed. She also likes to throw things at him so constant smashing sounds throughout the night too.

Another thing they do is him locking her out after their hours long rows, then she will stand in the street (generally 2am onwards) kicking his door shouting to be let back in, she will then start with 'if you don't let me in I will tell all your neighbours that you did such a thing/said such a thing' 'If you don't let me in I'm knocking on your neighbours door to let her know all about you' Most recent one was her screaming in the street at 4.30am that she needed a piss and was he just going to let her piss in the street? Does his neighbours want to know that he makes her piss in the street?

It got so bad a few weeks ago when she started throwing stones at my windows to wake me up so I could 'witness' what was going on between the two of them, this was at 4am, It just happened that my dad was staying overnight because he had a job interview the next day around the corner from where I live so he went straight down and told the both of them to leave me out of their bullshit.

Just repeat all of the above and span it out over a year and you get some glimpse into what it has been like to live next to them. Never known them to have a normal conversation with each other, Never heard their normal talking voices..

Yes I'm moving.. Which I hate because I've lived here for 15 years and always loved it, rest of the neighbours are lovely. Loved my flat, loved the area.

Do people like this not realise how horrible it is for other people to have to listen to this every day and night? Do they not care? how do they live like this?

Have you ever tried reporting this to the police? Letting them know that threats of violence/threat to life have been made usually means they will attend.

My upstairs neighbours are similar. The thing that gets me the most is that they obviously really hate each other, why on earth do they not realise that everyone would be happier if they never saw each other again? It doesn’t have to be like this. Mine have 2 fucking yappy chihuahuas to add to the noise mix as well, for fucks sake 😕

There’s a child too, poor thing. Though the current man isn’t their dad.

It's probably what they grew up with. They think it's normal (but there's usually not much 'thinking' going on). Do they rent or own?

I once called the police on mine, when one of them got thrown down the stairs and I thought there was a real danger of death. The police came, stayed for ages. Nothing changed after it though. I’ve called them again since but they haven’t attended again.

Police. Every time they do it. It sounds as though they have other issues, eg alcohol, going on.

I lived next door to someone in a relationship like this and called the police more than once when I thought she was in danger and I could hear things being thrown around and screaming. Eventually they split up and he moved out. It was totally different after that.

Sounds like they belong in a zoo.
