Domestic Disputes Get The Spotlight: Join Our Live Event
Are you tired of living with a roommate who leaves their dirty socks on the floor, or is your partner's snoring driving you crazy? Do you have a long-standing grievance that's left you and your loved one at an impasse?
Well, now's your chance to air your grievances in front of a live audience and a panel of expert judges. The Guardian is hosting "You Be the Judge: Live", an event where we invite readers to submit their domestic disputes for public arbitration.
The idea is simple: you tell us about your dispute, whether it's over laundry duty, fridge space, or something more serious like infidelity. Our team of journalists will review your submissions and select a few to feature on the show.
But here's the twist: both parties must agree to be featured in the live event. That means you'll need to get the other person's permission before submitting your story. Don't worry, we'll make sure their details are kept confidential until the big reveal.
As one of our selected complainants and defendants, you'll receive a £100 gift card for Trullo and a copy of Tim Siadatan's new cookbook Padella. You might even get some sage advice from our panel of Guardian writers, who will rule on your dispute in front of the audience.
The event takes place at Kings Place, London N1 on November 26, 2025. But don't wait until the last minute – entries must be submitted by November 10th.
To apply for "You Be the Judge: Live", simply fill out our online form and tick the box confirming that you have your partner's permission to share their details with us. Your responses are encrypted and secure, so you can rest assured that your secrets will remain confidential – at least until the big reveal.
And remember, applications are only open to UK residents who are willing to travel to London for the live event. So don't miss out on this chance to air your grievances and get some expert advice – apply now!

Also, can't wait to see what our panel of Guardian writers come up with - they're always so on point! And, of course, getting to meet Tim Siadatan in person would be a dream come true!!! This event is gonna be EVERYTHING!!!
It's like, finally someone is addressing the real issues in our relationships, you know? Like, have you ever had a roommate who leaves their dirty socks on the floor and just doesn't care?! 
Or maybe your partner snores so loudly it sounds like a chainsaw outside your room?! 
Anyway, I think this is a genius idea. And £100 for Trullo and a cookbook? That's, like, totally worth sharing our drama on live TV. 
As long as the panel is made up of people who aren't total trolls, this could be super helpful for some people. But we have to be careful what we wish for... I mean, imagine having your ex or stalker featured on TV! 
I'm intrigued by this concept, "You Be the Judge: Live". It's almost like a social experiment, where people are willing to put their personal issues on a public platform. The idea of receiving a £100 gift card and a cookbook as an incentive is a nice touch, but what I find really interesting is how it highlights our collective tendency to seek validation through shared experiences.
. I think it's a genius way to help people resolve their domestic disputes in a public forum, where they can actually learn from each other's perspectives 
. But what if the person leaving dirty socks on the floor is also the one who does all the household chores? Shouldn't that count for something? 
It'd be interesting to see how the judges would weigh in on that one 
. The £100 gift card is a nice touch, but I think the real prize would be getting some actual peace and quiet 
.
I mean, it's literally the best thing since sliced bread, but like, what's with the queues? Can't they just make more bowls or something?! Anyway, back to this whole domestic dispute thing... i feel for people who have to deal with annoying roommates. I once had a roommate who left their dirty dishes in the sink for like, a week! I was about to lose it, but we ended up having a laugh about it and just agreed to split the cleaning duties. Maybe that's my secret to happy cohabitation? 
why is it always about dirty socks tho? 
snoring > laundry duty any day 
. Back in my day, if you had a problem with someone, you'd talk it out face to face or maybe even go to couples therapy. Now everyone's running around sharing their drama on the internet and expecting others to judge them... just doesn't sit right with me 
.
. In my day, we didn't need all those flashy rewards to get us to talk things through... just a good dose of common sense and respect for others 
.
I feel you, mate... it's like, we've all been there with our significant others, right? And it can be super frustrating when things just aren't working out. But honestly, having a safe space to talk about it and potentially get some help from experts sounds amazing! 
Plus, who wouldn't want to win that £100 gift card and a cookbook? 
. Like, can you imagine the cringe-worthy moments when both parties are trying to make each other look like the crazy one? 
It's already being promoted as "You Be the Judge: Live" – sounds like a real laugh riot 
. And I'm sure the £100 gift card and free cookbook will totally make up for being humiliated on national TV 
. Don't get me wrong, having a live forum where you both share your sides and experts weigh in can be super helpful too 
. But honestly, if it were up to me, I'd suggest couples prioritize communication over confrontation 
. And who knows, maybe it'll help couples communicate better 
and its so confusing how do i even charge it ? is it like a battery or something? anyway, this whole "you be the judge" thing sounds kinda fun but what if my partner gets really mad on stage lol. i guess that would make for good tv. btw has anyone tried that new padella cookbook?
. but seriously, £100 gift card for trullo is a nice touch, might just get me to apply
