re: Neighbor etiquette

Listen closely to the argument the next few times they start up. Once you do you’ll be better able to determine if they are headed for divorce. If they are, then one if them will likely move out before little Vol is walking ;)

If the arguments aren’t serious (it’s not an ongoing affair or multiple affairs, an addition to meth or heroin, child abuse etc) and you don’t think they are headed for divorce, then you have to decide if talking to them would do any good. If they’re crazy then it won’t, and it could make things worse - 2 crazy people going after you rather than each other.

Quick story: My brother in law has been cheating on my sister-in-law for over 2 years. After she found out, she was often at my house crying. He still won’t tell the truth even though he knows she hired a private eye and has security camera footage proving it all. Anyway, a couple of times she got into it with him over the phone on my back porch (the kids were inside). One of the times she screamed as loud as can be “because you’ve been f-ing your best friend’s white trash whore wife!” I cringed because my
peach pie just had their second baby neighbors were in their back yard. I knew they heard. I was worried they’d think my husband was cheating and that this type of yelling would be a common occurrence. so i texted them to apologize and let them know it wasn’t me yelling that about my husband. Lol

Their reply was “so sorry your sister in-law is going through this. We will pray for her.”
