What do you think of couples that pick at each other often. I don't know if they do it so they can have make up sex. I've heard some say they think its cute. I think its annoying as heck to be around and I kind of want to slap them. I've usually felt there are enough big time issues that will come up where a fight will start that needling each other is really unnecessary and sort of immature. Thoughts...

Picking at each other in public is immature behaviour. One of the attributes I expect from adults is to never make other people feel uncomfortable. If you're going to bitc* about one another, go home and do it where no-one else has to witness your nasty behaviour.

Stupid people who choose stupid partners do stupid things.

Ugh, I hate it when couples pick at one another. I don't know what's worse, when they just say angry things in quiet voices that everyone can hear anyway, or when they make jokes about the other person in hopes that everybody else will laugh. TACKY.

I know a couple that pick at each other, but thats just how they get along.
Yes, if a couple is seriouly bickering back and forth, noone wants to be around that, and I honestly don`t know how someone could stay into a relationship with this attitude. Yuck!

It makes it embarrassing for those around them as well as for themselves. Luckily, I haven't encountered a couple like that lately. But it doesn't mean I won't again.

I also find it annoying, and I don't ever want to be in that kind of relationship. However, it does seem to work for some people.

If it's done correctly and in good taste it can actually be a good thing, fairly entertaining.

I don't like it, and avoid such people whenever possible. Occasionally, such a couple truly does love and respect each other, but have this odd - to me - way to relating to each other. I can sometimes tolerate that subset if I know their relationship is good, and the the topics of bickering are minor and/or treated more with humor than contempt.

I too find it highly embarrassing not to mention childish and totally inappropriate. Keep those silly games within your own four walls (if you have children NOT within their hearing) otherwise you'll find your social life gradually becoming very restricted.

I know two couples like this, and both are 30s professionals. I dread if I had to be with both in a group at the same time.
