I started painting my living-room in preparation for vacating the premises.
Laid masking tape along the skirting boards and started painting the border before using the paint roller.
Halfway through painting the border the lady upstairs starts crying again. This has been going on for at least 5 years. They argue, she cries. Goes on for an hour or more.
I can never really hear what is being said, though I did catch her say - “We never communicate”, “It happens every morning”
One time I did question the husband what is up with her crying so often? He said she is homesick. I do not believe that response. Because of the sometimes very loud arguments that go on.
Anyway, I did not want to listen to this again, so I finished the border painting and went out for coffee.
Most times they appear to be a loving couple, but they argue at least once a fortnight.
Really sad
Sounds like the upstairs saga is still rumbling on! Sometimes these little domestic dramas feel bigger than they are, especially when they keep dragging out. I hope it settles soon, peace and quiet at home is worth its weight in gold. In the meantime, at least you’ve got us here to share a laugh about it. 
I wonder if some people get their information on how to work together as a couple from soap operas. Such shoddy TV shows rely on drama, tension and conflict - this moves the plot lines along nicely. But real life doesn’t have to be like that - not all the time. Then chuck in social media - I’ve seen couples literally spend all their time on their phones. Not talking, just clicking and scrolling. No wonder some reflect that they don’t communicate. Then when they do talk it fast becomes an argument because that, it seems from the telly, is what you do.
Oh dismal world.
