What I do mind is when they become violent or loud for everyone to hear around 12:00 AM - midnight.

Linux Is Best
in reply to Linux Is Best • • •I have a very low opinion of people who cannot remain loyal and faithful - Those are two different things, and no, I am not thinking of a dog, but at this point, I'd call my neighbor one.
I know what this girl looks like naked, she has run out wearing nothing but a towel on one occasion and bra and panties on another. Although I would suspect she has an eating disorder, since sometimes she looks like skin and bones (can see her ribs and backbone) and other times, when healthy, she is OK on the eyes. In fact, I'd argue when she gains some curves, she can be very nice on the eyes. But as a person, I would not touch her with a 20 FT pole.
This is the type of individual with more than one baby-daddy, and I can clearly see why. This is that person who no doubt tells you someone else is "just a friend", as they tell the other two guys the same thing about you. I am not lying when I say, I have seen one guy leave to go to work, only for the next to "chill" for a few hours, be given a kiss and "I love you", as the next guy comes to pick her up.
And I know all these thing

And I know all these things, because she is loud. Every so often, she ditches one guy, so the next one can move in on the same day or the day after. Or, as is often the case, some poor guy catches on, and loses his cool.
Speaking as someone who has been played before (not by her), I can truly understand not all people leave silently, they have been hurt. As I said, I can ignore the people arguing. Even good, healthy couples argue from time to time. The problem is when things get either violent or they get loud and stay loud around midnight or sometimes 2-3 AM, in the morning.
The last argument there involved my neighbor, another girl, and some dude, plus a car that ended up backing into the telephone pole, repeatedly in and out of their driveway, in and out of my driveway, and circled the block a few times, only to drive up onto the sidewalk and into the yard a few times.
The time before that it was so bad, that when I called the police, someone was taken away in an ambulance, and another by the cops. Heck, it was so bad, the cops even thanked me for calling, telling me I did the right thing.
She seems to be that crazy girl people warn you about, and she seems to be picking crazy partners too.
So yes, I am going to judge, and I am thinking she should close her legs, focus on her and her children, and either stay single or pick one person she can be good with. Girl needs to grow the f-ck up.

in reply to Linux Is Best • • •I think why the idea of my neighbor bothers me so much is one of several things.
First, it is not just that she disrupts the peace in my neighborhood. She does, by the way -disrupt the peace in my neighborhood.
But it is also the fact that this girl is a mother, and her children see all this. As someone who lived in an abusive household as a child, believe me, kids see more than you know.
But also, she reminds me of someone many years ago. When I was much younger, I was one of those stupid "white knight" that had it in him to think he could change someone with love, caring, compassion, reasoning, and understanding. -- You cannot, by the way, change someone, nor can you make someone love and respect themselves. If you try, you will more than likely enable them further. That girl is long dead - Some jerk had their way with her in the end.
My neighbor reminds me of that girl and as much as it is upsetting to witness, I also cannot help but feel sorry for her, her family, and her children. And to be honest, for some strange reason, that just makes me more upset.
