It's been fun and games here since Saturday.
Next door neighbour (man) has been having affair with woman at the back. We thought so as they've not been discreet.
They opened up their fence so their kids could play together (distancing? What's that)
Anyway it all came to light on Saturday and there was a screaming match in the garden at midnight.
Tonight wife of next door is in the garden hysterically crying with the husband berating her Hmm
Young kids in the house through all this.
There's already been fighting between the 2 men.
It's like bloody Eastenders.
If they don't pipe down shall I do something? Bloody exhausted as they seem to wait till dark to kick off.

It's hard to know from your post. Are they just being noisy or is the man being abusive? Are the children safe?
The affair etc isn't relevant, do the police need to be called? Only you can tell

If anybody is in danger, call now.

Personally I wouldn't do anything unless it sounded as though they were physically fighting. Or the children were crying through the night.

There was defo some physical stuff on Saturday.
I am worried about the kids
It's gone quiet now but that's worse in a way as I wonder what's going on in the house. It's raining heavily so that's prob driven them in.
He was proper yelling at the wife. She was sobbing and sounded disoriented saying stuff like 'I don't know what's happening'
Honestly bloody irresponsible when you have young kids. They must be scared.

That sounds horrid OP.

BillBaileysBum · 16/06/2020 00:50

I’d call it in. Let the police decide if it meets the threshold for a welfare check.

AdoptedBumpkin · 16/06/2020 00:53

Worth a ring if you're concerned for the children.

Mrskeats · 16/06/2020 00:54

Honestly it's been awful.
We knew he was up to something as the woman at the back was never away from the house.
I did wonder whether there was some kind of swinging thing going on but clearly not.
How stupid to have an affair with a neighbour. What could possibly go wrong?
If the kids are crying etc I will call 101 I think. Or if more fighting happens.

Phone. Definitely phone.

Ring 999.

I did it when our neighbours were screaming & shouting. The children need protecting from that and the police will remind of them of it
