Hi,

I wasn't sure how to title this, but I live in a block of flats, four one beds on the ground floor next to each other. I live in the second of the row, and I have friends who live in number four. Seperately we have both heard and commented to each other on the constant fighting and rowing we hear from the couple who live in the flat in between us.

Not just your everyday bickering, but full on screaming from the GF, shouting 'leave me alone' and high pitched squeals or screams. In all honesty I never hear the BF or if it is, its mannered calm talking. So I'm not sure the dynamic. But the constant night time screaming is worrying me...

All four flats are in a group chat about maintenance etc, but we don't know them well-enough to say or ask - or at least I don't know how to broach it with them. Any thoughts or help very welcome...

Why haven't you called the police?

If disturbing; call officials.

@Aquamarine1029 - obviously I can't write a full description on here of how it happens - but it's one off screams not full on fighting between two people, like she's screaming at him not in fear if that makes sense.

I would still call the police. Perhaps them showing up might make them realise they are being heard and disruptive. It's worth a shot.

I feel a bit silly calling 101, but perhaps its worth a shot and seeing what they recommend...

If it’s disruptive then report to landlord/building manager etc. I would try them before police.

Though just cause you mentioned dynamic she may be the louder one but he may like my ex, always eerily calm and never raised his voice in an argument but he used that calm modulated voice to humiliate, bully and belittle me, to completely antagonise me and make me feel so awful and worthless with his constant emotional and verbal abuse that I would end up always being the one to raise my voice or scream on frustration etc. It’s not okay but just be aware she may not be the aggressor in this, maybe keep an ear out?

if you dont want to outright ask why not wait until the screaming starts then write in the group chat "can anyone else hear that girl screaming? anyone hear where its coming from?" may stop the fighting.
