Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

Should husband wife remain formal or frank with each others, infront of strangers ?

In some family systems they don’t even sit together on one sofa infront of even their parents, brothers, sisters,..etc due to shyness, and also talk to each others respectfully and gracefully.

Others even pass romantic comments and share naughty jokes indirectly in the presence of their children, friends…etc.

frank. Why? cause it's spicy.

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

But there must remain an element of respect for those around you. There is no need to FLAUNT the relationship between you, but at the same time there certainly isn't ANY reason to hide the husband/wife relationship

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

i think that husband/wife relationship should remain in the middle of formal and frank....wat i mean is....i do respect others around me....private jokes or private things should just be done in private..but i do sit with my hubby and talk and laugh with him but in limits i dont want to make people uncomfortable around me....i call him by his name not like some girls they are even shy to call their husband by their names....i try not to pass any romantic comments but i do talk with my eyes....hahahahaha...:D

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

private matters should be dealt wiht in due privacy ... agree, there is no need to flaunt the relationship between you.

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

What about holding hands and stuff? What are your views on that?

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

I guess I would be the only one to say that we are quite open in front of our parents, like I rememeber one tyme I was crying and my mom and ZUlfi (my husband ) we both giving me a hug!!
We stay in limits and ofcorse NO private innuendos or jokes and stuff, but ya I will sit with him, laugh, play, joke and all innocent stuff, no hardcore touchy feely stuff!! :P

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

I'm open without being an exhibitionist. "Normal."

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

Ok, how about the time when they are alone in their room and want to talk on some issue in life ?

Should it be like

"Aaap tashreef rakhein, aap se eik guzarish karni hai"

or

"Yaar, betho to sahi, tere naal gal karni ey" (Frank way In respective mother langauge)

p.s. I would share my views on which way I find to be more appropriate after reading some views.

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

For us it's more like "Listen, Babe/Sweetie need to talk to you about............"

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

aaww..u guys really understand each other very much but doesnt it get alil boring. i mean..he understands everything without u having to say anything and vice versa. so there is nothing to talk abt…is there..

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

i guess they should be somehwere between frank and formal , i have seen some couples that try to avoid each other in public just out of shyness which is just ridiculous i mean they are husband n wife

also i guess when they wnt to talk to each other it should be the second phrase if my husband said " ayee tashreef rakhiye " i would burst out laughin . we just dont do that lolz , it wud more be like cuty we need to talk.

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

not really...we both love to talk especially him....its not boring at all...its fun....like everybody is sitting and we both have a smile on our face and we dont want others to know our joke...so its kinda exciting....lol...

hmmmmm....we dont hold hands in front of our parents....but do we hold hands when we go out by ourself

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

i dont think they shold be frank or formal just in between, as far as holding hands i dunno i dnt agree with doing that in front of family or in public thats just my opinion though :)

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

Formal is better, its safe. You dont end getting labelled as out of line couple.

Some couple have a key-word...when its uttered in front of some, it means to keep silent or change the topic...something aint right.

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

In the begining, we would be somewhat formal infront of his family but with time we got a bit frank where we would sit together at a respectable distance to watch tv or eat from the same plate. But you gotta be really careful because sometmes what you are used to do doing or saying in private may unintentionally come out in public as well. We have caught ourselves calling each other by pet names with parents around and we always hope they didnt hear them :D

Re: Couple in Public. Frank or Formal ?

dear i got ur point:hehe:i was talking about other ladies:omg:
