"I/We will never be that couple" - things that annoy you about other couples

[Anonymous]

Couples that fight when they have company over. It's one thing to say "Oh, I don't like that wine - let's open this one instead" but full on fighting where they care about being right? So awkward.

You should talk to him about how you feel.

Or it really is just two people expressing affection for one another.

Then why do you need an audience?

We're you 15 on your first date? That's kind of gross in public.

Couples who act like everything is wonderful in paradise.

Those that try too hard to be the "perfect" couple.

This typically spells trouble in paradise to me.

We will not be the couple who put each other down, or hate each other's friends and family or not have sex for 10 years.

The ones who profess their love on fb. Or wish each other happy anniversary on fb. Ugh. They're probably sitting next to each other on the couch - just say it to each other!!

Ha ha! Totally agree. I love the visual.

Couples who excessively compliment each other. Seriously. I once went to a potluck BBQ where the guy was going on-and-on about how amazing his GF's salad was, and in particular complimenting the way she chopped the olives in the salad.

Guys that have their hand around the back of a woman's neck while walking down the street. It looks so creepy/possessive.

Not making out but a hug, quick rub on the back, holding hands, etc. My husband is a great guy and loves me but he's not even a tiny bit physically affectionate and it makes me sad.

Sometimes it isn't always what it seems. While I love my wife and we do have plenty of displays of affection at home, when we are out and about, we usually hold hands (when we're not holding our preschoolers' hands. My wife is visually impaired with about 95% vision loss in her right eye and limited vision varying between 20/70 on the rare good day and about 20/250 in her left. When the lighting is wrong, she can be virtually walking in a fog, other days, she's quite fine, barring the 90 degree vision loss on her right. Her vision loss is due to a genetic disorder that is hereditary. She doesn't look particularly visually disabled and she tries to hide it when possible. So, whenever we are together, we mostly hold hands. If she holds my elbow it pretty much calls attention to the fact that something is wrong. So we hold hands like we always have done, and it looks like a PDA when it really is just me being able to help guide her so that she doesn't bump into people on her blind side or fail to notice something with her limited vision.

Sorry if that offends or annoy some of you. I also know a friend who has a bad knee that sometimes flares up at the most awkward moments. She often holds her husband's hand so that she can signal that she needs his immediate support when her knee decides that today in this hour it's going to give up for the next 30 seconds. Many people with hidden disabilities try hard not to put their disability on display and PDAs with your supportive spouse are a good way to mask an issue.

Couples that share 1 email address. I had a friend do this after she got married and it was seriously alienating. I liked her husband but no way was I going to email the both of them the same kind of stuff that i used to email just her. Nothing bad about him - more like updates on my own goings ons - e.g. boyfriend troubles, dieting issues, etc.

Or -- perhaps even worse -- one Facebook account. Yes, I'm talking to you, "LarloAndLarla Smith"!

Facebook convos for the win.

In the middle of wife's post about Stranger Things, hubby chimes in and says "Did you remember to arrange the catsitter?"

Such sweet domesticity. Bleccch.
