Some couple develop cringe-worthy habits which they sometimes do not realize themselves but friends on both sides notice and talk about it. You may think that yeah i can am kind of like this but my friends do not mind and they are cool with it, rest assured that when you are not around they talk about these annoying habits, make sure you figure them out before your friends start avoiding you all together.
Indications That You And Your Partner Are A Cringe Couple
#1 We'll Be There
How many times has it happened that you invite your friend to something and they end up bringing their significant along with them without warning. We understand taht you two love each other a lot and cannot stay away from each other but for the love of God what have they go to do on a boy's night or girl's night out. That ruins what could've been a perfectly good evening. This just makes your friends kind of hate your significant other. Then before every plan your friends ask, "So who else is gonna be there?". Take this as a sign, people do not want your partner joining in, stop forcing them on your friends.
#2 Pet Names
Now this is one of those things that makes you feel uneasy or maybe even awkward if a couple start taking cheesy or pet names for their partners. What you do within the confined space of your home is sometimes better left done there. Sometimes bringing it out in the open can make others feel uncomfortable. Now calling the significant other "Babe" is common and considered sort of acceptable. Though even using Baber thousands of times can become very annoying. But that is not what makes people cringe, it the more corny names that does the job. "Honey Bear", "Baby Cakes" and "Muffin" are some of the food related nicknames used by couples the will disgust others. So all is good if you keep these names to your homes as long as they are not uttered around the rest of us.
#3 The Social Media Presence
It has become acceptable now that when people get into a relationship, specially a new one, they tend to post pictures with their significant other but it becomes unbearable when they all their pictures include their partner in it and if the posting frequency of such posts increases, it is natural for people to start hating them. They will post pictures of them doing weirdest things, thinking it is cute, is it really? And your feed is clogged with them tagging each other in posts and commenting,"OMG this so US" and "OMG we should totally try this". In the worst of cases they would get a joint social media account, that's when the others can be forced to quit social media completely.
#4 The Gym Couple
This is similar to the social media presence but some things in specific in that category deserve to be discussed in detail separately. This terrible couple behavior is of couples that work out together, now couples working out together is great, they motivate each other and push boundries to keep themselves in shape. Though it gets annoying when they atart smooching inbetween sets or indulge into weird couple body weight workouts, posting them on the internet with the hashtag such as "relationship goals". Because what people hate more than a fitness bragger is a fitness bragging couple, that is just intolerable. They will post photos of them kissing while squatting and trick us by putting some motivational quote in the captions, oh come on who are you trying to fool.
#5 You Spend Every Waking Moment Together
There is nothing wrong with you partner also being your best friend and you preferring to spending time with them but spending too much time with them or even worse all the time with them is not a good thing. We have witnessed all around us that people sometimes get fed up of each other if they are spending too much time together. Sometimes it is good to spend time by yourself, give yourself some time to be alone or spend with friends, this helps put things into perspective. Your friends are going to want to hang out with you if you are still hand in hand with your partner throughout the whole time. As they will not ask you to come out with them the next time. Some alone time is good as it makes the time together more special.
#6 You Say “I Love You” Immediately
Love is something that you express to someone that you have known for quite some time, it is a very important expression which not thrown around a couple of weeks into a fling. But there are always some couple that do that, it merely been weeks into a relationship and they start throwing the L word around, this not only makes the other person in an uncomfortable position it may also lead to an embarassing situation if you do not get that word back. Your peers say you saying love you to each other very soon and they know its a recipe for disaster so don't do that. Take your time, don't express love until you're very very comfortable around them, as much that you are able to do at least one disgusting thing in their presence.
#7 You Text Each Other In The Same Room
We have all had people around us who text each other while both of them are still in the same room, mostly because they are talking trash about someone else in the room. That is a very annoying habit, it is even more annoying when couples do it. They even go on to say, "look at your texts", then their partner looks at it and smiles and when you ask them what is it, they just respond with,"Nothing". It is very annoying and makes the others in the room feel uncomfortable. Why can't they just hold onto their inside jokes until they are by themselves.
#8 You Completely Changed
This is very common in relationships nowadays, when one person tries to be dominating on the other and makes them change themselves. They try to mold the other person into someone they themselves would be even more compatible with. They try to make you give up some hobbies of yours as they think they are repulsive, they make you stop hanging out with certain friends of your as they themselves do not like them, such relationships mostly do not last long but they last long enough to have made you a completely different person than you were. Do not get into such a relationship, do not change yourselves that much that you lose your identity.
#9 You’re Always Talking About Your S*x Life
Its always interesting to swap stories about someone including their sex life as long as you do not know them, but as soon as your friends become partners you do not want to know the details of their sex life. Talking about it when the other person is in the abstract, it is all good but putting the face to the name when they talk about going down on their partner is simply gross. So hearing all those intimate details is very cringe-worthy.
#10 You Neglect Friendships
Friendships are very important and often last a lifetime, that is if you make sure that you do not ignore them, it happens very often that as soon as a person gets into a relationship they tend to forget their close friends and think that only their significant other is all that is important in their life. Your friends are going to keep asking you to join them in their plans but it is only a certain number of times that they will hear no from you and sooner or later they'll stop asking. This is one of the most common things with relationships nowadays. So do not always neglect your friendships, hang out with your friends every other weekend. This will help both, your friendship and your relationship.
#11 Matching Outfits
This is without a doubt one of the most annoying thing about some people in a relationship. People who been guilty of all the point preceding this one will be cringed by this act. The only times it is okay for a couple to wear the same thing is if they are going to a prom or maybe on Halloween. Other than that there is no need to wear the same colors. It also includes shirts that say,"I made him wear that" and "She made me wear this". Never ever do that please, it is painful for they eyes to have a look at this.
#12 PDA
Now PDA (Public Display of Affection) is disgusting no matter who it is. Some of the most good looking people could making out in the park and everyone would be like get a room guys. This is an insufferable relationship act which should be stopped immediately. They just cannot keep themselves off each other, whether it is the subway, the bus or the escalator, they'll start smooching anywhere. We get it you love each other a lot and we are happy for you, we really are but please keep these overly affectionate love making for the time you are at home.
#13 All You Talk About Is Your Relationship
Now earlier we talked about how people tend to ignore their friends when they get into a relationship, but what is worse is when you cannot stop talking about your relationship once your partner is not around. It can be about you missing your partner or how much you love them and even those stories that you think you find very cute about yourself but i can assure you we do not want to be listening to them all the time. Then there are those who keep complaining about their relationships but wont end it, and they will not even listen to any good advice you have for them, they just like complaining.
#14 Arguing In Public
Until now we have talked about all those couples that have been very happy with each other and those have lead to annoying thing about them, but there are those couple that are not very happy with each other and they for some reason end fighting in public very often, which is very awkward for all parties involved, except ofcourse the couple otherwise they would not do it. It starts with taking shots at one another infront of friends and then after a few drinks they loudly start shouting at each other. Some would even go into a room to fight, but they are shouting so loudly that even the neighbors can hear them but the rest of being the nice ones act like we didn't hear anything when they come out.
#15 You Think Everyone Is Jealous
You would be in the line of fire if you try as much as hint that your friend is part of an annoying couple. Everything you say they would thing it is because you are jealous of their relationship. Let's say you are single and you say something, then they would say it is because you want a relationship like theirs, if you're in a relationship then they would say that you are just jealous because your relationship just isn't as good as theirs. Plenty of people are genuinely happy with their lives are are actually trying to help, it does not mean that they are jealous of your relationship.
