So it's a good thing.
But another interesting question is: why are others bothered when they see public declarations? Does it perhaps make them think that they are not doing as well since they are not into mushy declarations? And then to make that not true in their minds, they would just find fault and explain why doing it in public is actually a bad thing?

I don't find it bothersome when people do it on occasion, like on anniversaries or birthdays, but there are some people who do it on a regular basis and those people are the ones I find trying too convince themselves and others of the relationship, like the person I mentioned in my other post.
I have another example that comes to mind. A girl I went to high school with (who always had a bit of personal issues) was bragging bragging bragging about how awesome her boyfriend was, how lucky she is to have him, what a great dad he is, which ramped up when they got engaged. Well, one day he wrote a personal question about their relationship status on her wall for all to see, she stayed off Facebook for a while, then a few weeks later she started posting all these gushy posts about ANOTHER MAN. They were so in love, he's the best guy ever, she's so lucky blah blah blah. Cases like these are I believe are troubled people trying to present happiness to the world so people can't see what's really going on.
