The Sister Circle Girlfriend Chats is a fictitious online radio show hosted by 5 women who happen to be girlfriends. It is a platform where women come together to support each other during human issues they have in life. They laugh, they cry and they get real girlfriend solutions if they choose to take heed. Sometimes they don't take heed. The sisters sit in a circle each week and talk about the issues they want to discuss. They allow callers to call into their show to share their feelings, concerns or comments. Nothing is off limits!
Iona starts off the circle by discussing her exasperation with her new female neighbor’s active lifestyle. They live next to each other in their upscale condominium building. Iona states that her female neighbor has a different boyfriend every week. It is hard for her to sleep at night in light of her neighbor’s sexual activity.
Iona:
Welcome to our Sister Circle! I am delighted to start off the chat today. I recently got a new neighbor in my condo building. She is around the same age as I am. She has no kids but I do. I am very frustrated with her because she has a new boyfriend every week. I am subjected to hearing all of their personal business at night. It’s so irritating!
Trisha:
I believe most folks can relate to this. I remember experiencing the same thing when I was single and dating my husband. There was a man and woman who lived in my apartment building and they hooked up with each other often. It was such a bad ending when they broke up. I wasn’t the only one complaining about them. Several other neighbors also felt their displeasure because they would go back and forth to each other's place at night. We were all stuck in the middle of their apartments. Luckily the girl abruptly moved out. There were rumors of some infidelity. All I know is there was so much more peace when she left because he left a few months after the young lady. I am praying for you Iona. I totally empathize.
Iona:
Okay…but wait…you said you were dating your husband back then? So what did he think about the situation. I’m just curious about a man’s perspective. I don’t know what I would do if I had to deal with two of them.
Trisha:
Yes, I was dating my husband. He always remained neutral as he listened to me. He didn’t like it. We always tried our best to be mindful of others when we had our special time together or we would go to a hotel. I appreciate being able to have my own home where I have more space. I dislike being wall to wall with others. Certain walls are so thin when they are linked together. You can hear everything.
Kayla:
I am surprised you didn’t say something to your neighbor Iona. I don’t like to assume so if you did confront her, what was the outcome. I can relate to this. I’ve had this happen to me multiple times as an unmarried single woman. I use to just turn up my television or get my earplugs and listen to my music.
Iona:
Yes, Kayla, you know I did! I confronted her. I verbally spoke to her about the situation. I sent her text messages. I tried all the loud music and television. It didn’t get me anywhere. I even told her how I have to get up early to get my kids ready for school. It seemed to slow down a bit for a while, and then she started it back up again. She is a nice person but I don’t like her behavior. I think it is so disrespectful towards me and my kids to keep asking her to tone it down. As neighbors we do look out for one another but her lifestyle is terrible.
Kayla:
What did she say when you mentioned it to her?
Iona:
Of course she acted like she was going to comply. She said thanks for letting her know and “will do” like everything was okay. We verbally got into it once before because I told her that I felt she was being very disrespectful. She didn’t think she was because she replied…how. I told her I didn’t want to hear her personal business every night with her gentleman company. Most of my neighbors that live in our condo are all members and we pay to live there peacefully. She is the only one who interacts this way. THE ONLY ONE!
Valaria:
Unfortunately I can also relate Iona. I use to live by a police officer who was a bachelor and experienced the exact same thing. I lived in a townhome at the time. The walls were very thin and every time he had relations I was able to hear it. I only mentioned it to him one time and I noticed after that, he started making sure he was a lot quieter. I know my case is rare so I really wish you the best girl!
Constance:
Iona, why won’t you complain to the association? There should be some kind of stipulations for disturbing the peace at night. I understand she has a right to live there; to do and go as she pleases but you live in that building too. You also have rights. I would go straight to management. I am so grateful I don’t have to go through that anymore. It is a blessing to have your own home where you don’t have to be too close to other people as Trisha stated.
Iona:
I really didn’t want to go that route. I may have to. We will have to go before the board and then probably mediation if it is not resolved. I will have to take off work. I really don’t have the time.
Constance:
Well you tried to talk to the girl! I mean, what else is left! She acts like she is looking for love in all the wrong places. No woman should allow her temple to be used and abused like that.
Kayla:
What do you mean by that Constance? If a man is sexually free to express himself with his sexuality it is no big deal but as soon as a woman does it, it’s a problem? This world has too many double standards. I would love to hear what our callers have to say.
Iona:
Um…well the lines are totally rocking off the hook. Thanks for that viewpoint Kayla.
Kayla:
You got it! No problem.
Constance:
Kayla, sweetie there is no double standard with me. I am a mother of a little boy. I am raising him to respect his body and all women at an early age. In my opinion, I don’t think it is healthy or safe for anyone; women or men to have different people in and out of their bedroom doors every week as stated by Iona in her situation.
Iona:
Every week…everyday….I mean this chick changes men like the wind.
Kayla:
Lets listen to what all of our callers have to say about very active neighbors. Are you one of them or have you been affected by one? Remember you can chat anonymous.
