Noisy neighbours…
Sunday, January 17th, 2010I live in a wonderful condominium apartment building with great neighbours! Recently that changed a bit when a young couple moved into the aparment in front of me. And boy oh boy, are they something else! At least once every week or two weeks they get into loud fights and arguments.
Not just arguments, but full and proper swearing starts! Character bashing, each other’s parents’ character bashing, man’s manhood challenged, and fights about money and so on.
Initially man used to say to his girlfriend to stay quiet otherwise they would get kicked out but now he lets her have it as well, loud and clear.
She’s always accusing him of cheating on her, always wanting sex but not being a man enough to do anything else with his life and he’s always accusing her of spending too much money and how his life has gone down the drain by being with her and so on.
It seems like quite a destructive relationship that they have. It makes you wonder why are they together if they make each other so miserable?
I’ve seen this more than once. Couple’s arguing, and fighting on a regular basis and yet they’re together.
That’s their comfort zone! At least they know what to expect in this type of a relationship. Who knows what would happen if they left each other?! It’s not just in abusive relationships but also common in jobs as well. People keep on working in an unhealthy and unhappy environment instead of just quitting.
Majority of us seem to be driven by fear. Fear of the unknown. We tend to cling to what we have and just afraid to let go.
There’s a reason why personal development and self help market is so profitable!
Interestingly, today when the couple started arguing loudly, my neighbour’s dog (in my left apartment) started barking as well!
I wonder what would happen if I ever met them in the hall?
