Vera Wang and Husband Arthur Becker Fought a Lot – Why a Couple's Quarrels in Front of Others is Unfair

Ever since yesterday’s announcement about Vera Wang's split with husband, Arthur Becker, of 22 years, I’ve been searching around to see what led up to it. A report came out they fought a lot right before it ended. People are speculating that her success is a contributing factor given she was wealthier than he.

I can believe disagreements occurred between them. That’s pretty typical of a couple about to divorce. What caught my attention, though, was that the article said they would “berate” each other in front of other people even though it made them uncomfortable.

Most couples don’t like being known for quarrelling and try not to not do so in front of others. Sometimes, though, they find it’s unavoidable. I still say to do your best because no one wins when a couple fights. Especially not the poor friends who must endure listening to the people at each others throats.

The biggest reason not to fight in front of others is for the sake of your relationship. It’s disrespectful to your partner and not Rules. The mean comments might be ratcheted up a notch because one person won't want to be outdone on the insult hurling. Hence, a fight becomes worse than it need be because verbal warfare has started.

From a romantic standpoint, you should look forward to going out and having fun with your partner! If you get all dressed up for a special occasion only to quarrel, you ruin potentially great memories in life. The little things matter. If you're hell bent on bickering and proving a point, mark my words, you'll look back later with regret.

Another incentive is because you don’t want others to talk about your relationship. I firmly believe in presenting a united front and not airing dirty laundry. If you both simply can’t resist fighting, then don’t make plans with your friends.

Additionally, it’s unfair to address your problems in front of outsider. People won’t know what to say or might feel obligated to take sides. They might also make judgments about the fight without knowing the whole story.

The end result of fighting in front of friends is that you’ll no longer receive invitations. People will not want to invite one person from a couple and not the other. Instead of choosing, neither will be invited. Being persona non grata for future events is not something you want.

Tell me what you think! How do you feel when another couple's quarreling?  

Until next time…

Shine like Platinum!
