I don’t know about arguing in public but it’s embarrassing when you get caught making love in public places.

Or so a friend told me.

Chit can happen, and it depends on context whether or not it will be in public.
But if the dynamic of the relationship would push my buttons to the extent of having public arguments, I don't think I'd want to be in that relationship. It means something between two people isn't working out too well.

Apart from that, I don't like the totally upset drama scenes, but I read the other day that more often than not couples that fight that way stand a better chance of a long lasting relationship than couples that calmly talk about things.
Reason being that couples that argue fiercely are their authentic selves which ultimately is always best in a relationship.
Nevertheless, if me and a partner would regularly clash to the extent of screaming and shouting I feel it's an indication I'm with the wrong partner.

I think it depends a lot on the subject priority and the personality of the participants.
I learned arguing with my X was a no-no whether in public or not.
Her personality was such that she had no trouble making a scene out of any disagreement.
On the flip-side, I once had a girlfriend that could argue her point calmly and without grandiose fanfare. In public, if we could not reach an agreement we walked away from the decision. I have the ability to see others points of view. Most of the time I just went along with her because it really did no harm.

I do not like when people are yelling at each other on their phones in public. These personalities forget they are in public and shout the most vile stuff for everyone in earshot to hear. If you treat others that you know like THAT, I don't want anything to do with you.

No, I can't imagine you would embarrass your mate. But don't drive when you're upset... I forgot in Jersey that's just normal.

I have a pocket taser in my bra ... it is a little bulky but it is a handy deterrent when I don't feel motivated to argue

Brings a whole new meaning to "feeling a spark" on a date with you, I guess.

No matter how perfect a relationship, there will be disagreements. When they come up in a public situation, how do you deal with it?

Personally, I feel like arguing with your partner in a public place is extremely disrespectful, not only to them, but the people who have to witness it. I'm one for waiting until I get home to voice a complaint or discuss an issue.

But as often as I see it, it seems like many couples simply don't care who sees/hears their spats.

Do you think views on whether or not it's acceptable to argue in public is something that differs regionally? What about culturally?
