Everyone has either been a part of, party to, possible enabler of, and/or wished they had food poisoning in the presence of, that couple. We’ve all encountered that couple. It’s hard to find the right adjective to adequately ascribe to them. I mean, seriously, whenever you think of them you just think of them as that couple. They just piss/depress/annoy you so much that language actually fails to form in your brain. A lot of couples are guilty of being that couple at one point in their relationship or another. Often it’s during the honeymoon or newlywed periods. Basically, when it all feels like the beginning.
But how do you know if you’re being that couple, or at least that you’re witnessing the aneurysm-provoking spectacle that is that couple?
If you finish each other’s sentences, then you’re that couple.

Annoying as in, completely in love and I don’t care what jealous, insecure people think of my amazing relationship? Yep, totez.

It can’t be said better than shimmer said it, so I’m stealing her comment! I can only add:Fuck yeah, we’re that couple!

For being the “glass slipper” of the blogosphere, there’s a lot of bullshit stuck to it as well. It sounds like whoever wrote this was jealous of normal people who are in love and get along really well with each other.

My husband and I are that couple. If other people are annoyed by it then that’s their problem because OBVIOUSLY we don’t have one.

I’m in a committed, loving relationship but I don’t feel my partner and I are an annoying couple.
I keep a very healthy balance between friends, family, and my relationship. I’m not against small amounts of PDA – I think the expression of human love and sexuality is perfectly normal, but I try not to make others uncomfortable.
There’s nothing wrong with holding hands or a quick kiss on the cheek while hanging out with friends. Sometimes people do take it too far, though. My one best friend, Jen, started dating a new guy (for about 2 weeks now) named Tony. When the 3 of us hangout, or in another small group where they’re the only couple, they are often so into their own conversation with each other that it’s like they’re not even there!
Last week we went out to dinner (myself, 4 other friends, and Jen & Tony). They held hands across the table and were staring at one another the entire time, totally disengaged from the world (and our friends!) Normal – if it was a date, and just the two of them. He even slapped her butt on the way out of the restaurant, then when we were going to leave and continue hanging out, they suddenly made an excuse to leave.
You can be madly in love with your significant other and still mantain healthy relationships and still be respectful of those relationships… oh wait, I guess some people can’t. I’m not jealous, insecure, or have issues. I just think there should be a balance, like all things in life

I have never been into PDA but it doesn’t really bother me to see other couples who are. Just as long as they’re not gross about it. I really don’t want to see peole full on making out in public but a little kiss every now and then is fine by me. It definitely bugged me a lot more when I was single tho. It seems immature to me to be so into your s.o. that you dont notice people around you but it’s not that hard to look the other way!

I was expecting it to be an article about a couple of people that are bad for each other. It doesn’t sound like the couple they are describing is anything like Sammy and Ronnie (who constantly want to kill each other). Now THAT is an annoying couple. I had a friend that was dating a guy and they fought constantly, in front of everyone, making everything super awkward.
I will say the constant “baby, baby, baby” is annoying, but it’s how some people are. If I don’t want to hear it, it’s not their problem.

Well excuuuuuse me for finally being in love with someone and wanting to spend the rest of my life with them. Yeah, it makes us a little annoying…to people who are bitter and can’t stand watching other people be in love. My sister is kind of like this, and I hate it. Every time we give each other a tiny little 1-second kiss or hold hands or he tickles me or something she goes “PDA, stop! Ew!” I’m thinking about moving to Europe where everybody doesn’t have their freaking panties up in a wad about so-called “PDA”. Making out with visible tongues and groping = PDA. Brief kissing, back-rubbing, hand-holding = Not PDA.
