This Troper and his girlfriend is completely guilty of this. Granted she's had a (somewhat) bad relationship history and Im...me however we do it because we feel we are trully in love for the first time!! <3 Also her friends actually remark on how adorable it is, and comment on how we're perfect for each other, etc..
#116510
This troper and her girlfriend subvert this pretty hard: Public flirting is generally done in the form of stealth puns, PDA only goes as far as looped pinkies and the closer we are to one another, the less likely people are to catch onto the fact that we're with each other. Unless, of course, you see the eerily similar, shared look we give one another from time to time...
#116511
Same here, except for the last part. But if one would read our messages and chat sessions...
#116512
This troper's mom and stepdad are still like this even after almost 9 years of marriage, complete with the baby talk and gooey pet names.
#116513
This troper's roommate. To make it even more exasperating, said roommate and her boyfriend don't want to "make (this troper) feel left out", resist efforts to {{LeaveTheTwoLovebirdsAlone}}, and generally make this troper want to install a sprinkler system in the ceiling to set off whenever they start.
#116514
This troper and his girlfriend.
#116515
This troper's sister and her boyfriend. Just...just...take the gooey fluff where I don't have to watch it or be in earshot...
#116516
On certain forums and sites, members won't mention this troper's girlfriend out of extreme fear of gaining diabetes. And may God help you if they are ''both'' on.
#116517
My two friends go out. They're ridiculous. I mean, I know they love each other, but they're always randomly staring at each other, or else he just keeps holding onto her, and there's just no one else in the world. Made worse by the fact that they're both funny and awesome people otherwise. It was cute at first, of course, but after a year of them ALWAYS doing this, I always greet this with a sarcastic "D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw."
#116518
This troper's parents. They've been married for twenty years, and now that they've had to temporarily separate (dad got a new job a state away, brother needed to finish up eighth grade), they still talk on the phone every night. Often more than once. Schmoopily.
#116519
SHOOT. ME. PLEASE. This Troper's uncle and his fiancee at Thanksgiving? They make out at the dinner table! "You taste like turkey!" "No you do, cranberry lips!" Gag.
#116520
One of this troper's friends and her boyfriend. The funny thing is, it's not really so much the nicknames ("hun" is as bad as it gets) but they're just very physically affectionate, always holding hands or hugging. The thing is, they're ''really'' good for each other - she tends to have low self-confidence and he's always there for her with a hug - so I'm never sure whether I should go "awwww" or gag when I see them...
#116521
This troper had a crush on a guy who was dating someone else. Then she happened to see photos of the two together at Christmas on her Facebook feed. It was so freaking adorable it killed the crush off completely. Then they broke up this summer, naturally.
#116522
My best friend used to be like that with his girlfriend. It was probably worse for me that I always really liked his girlfriend, plus the fact that I wasn't getting any myself (at the time.... or now). If I ever complained about it, it only made them worse.
#116523
"Sugar"...hearing/reading someone calling their loved one 'sugar' makes me want to gag, and makes my stomach churn. I swear, the first boyfriend who calls me sugar, I'll probably go berserk at them and say something along the lines of: "GODDAMIT I AM NOT SOMETHING YOU PUT IN YOUR TEA, SO STOP CALLING ME SUGAR!" I'd be at 'em like a Drill sergeant...however, Motherese I wouldn't mind. You know, the nonsense words that mums and others coo at babies? "Ahhh cooshywooshymooshymoodogoo!", but ONLY if teasing.
#116524
I can completely agree on the sugar thing, but may I also add Babe? Seriously, no. Babe.
#116525
This troper's parents are ''still'' like this, after twenty-two years of marriage. They were ''nineteen'' and ''twenty-one'', respectively, when they got married. This troper would lock herself in a bathroom and cry for a month if they ever divorced.
#116526
This troper has three happy couples in her school and good ''god'' are they sure to remind us about it. During lessons, during lectures, while doing homework, during lunch, everywhere, everytime.
#116527
Scratch that. Four couples. Two of my best friends got together. They are worse than all the others combined.
#116528
In Russia after the whole "90's" business PDA is not a big issue anymore. While we don't have sugary pet names or things like that, we're really openly close, up to her sitting in my lap in the public transport, when she feels like it. Now imagine us going into China...
#116529
This troper's aunt and uncle. Mostly limited to words though. They're both in their late forties/early fifties and only got married around four years ago.
#116530
This troper plans to put this trope into use with her next boyfriend-ironically, of course-specifically to annoy people. I have a store of over-the-top nicknames filed away in my mind for this reason. When I told my father of this plan, he asked what would happen if the boy didn't think it was funny. "If he doesn't think messing with people is fun, like I do," I explained, "then I will know that he is not the one for me."
#116531
This troper's best friend with her boyfriend. This troper has taken to staring creepily at them whenever this happens so they know the level of uncomfortableness they put on me.
#116532
This troper and his girlfriend, most of the time. Any time they're in a ride queue at a theme park, they'll be embracing, holding hands, kissing, and smiling. With the occasional butt grabs.
#116533
this troper and his ex were like this. That's why it completely threw me for a loop when she slept with another man behind my back. And now, I'm just like every other miserable curmudgeon who wants to stab these sort of people in the eyeballs whenever they make googly eyes at each other.
#116534
This troper and his current girlfriend are like this all the time. He finds it rather amusing how uncomfortable this makes the on-lookers, particularly when around her friends, and isn't at all discouraged by their very vocal protests and signs of disgust.
#116535
It's good to hear you don't respect other humans.
#116536
I'm guessing you aren't too fond of your friends, because they're probably not going to stick around.
#116537
This troper's best friend's older sister and her boyfriend (who is one of this troper's other friend's older brother - it's a small town) are like this. It would be cute if it weren't so terribly annoying.
#116538
This troper's guy best friend and his girlfriend are this. It really bugs me to no end. Doesn't help when I'm still in love with the guy.
#116539
My (using "this troper" will get too confusing here) two good "friends" only talk about their boyfriends, both of whom I've never met since they both live pretty far away so I don't know if it counts, but all four of them are incredibly uninteresting and fairly unintelligent. It's literally the ''only'' thing the two girls have to say and since I have several classes with them and spend quite a lot of time with them, it gets a little tiring. Especially since it becomes a lecture of how Joe coordinated his tie to match her dress at some dance and what Joe's ugly ex-girlfriend did that was so ridiculous and when they're going bowling next and the adorably funny thing oh-so-talented Joe did (like draw a cartoon horse) last night. Kill me now. Bitter? Nah, I'm (possibly) asexual.
#116540
When this troper's little brother went out with his immature younger girlfriend they kissed all the time after every little fucking comment to each other it got so sickening you had to turn up the volume on the tv or your headphones, they also had their stupid little pet names, fortunately she was very rude and disrespectful to everyone else so eventually she was kicked out of our house, he only sees her at her house now and we don't have to suffer through their seemingly endless kissing and stupid little comments to each other.
#116541
My friend and her boyfriend would habitually french-kiss/make out at the lunch table. Then said friend would announce 'His tongue was in my mouth, I love that man!', usually right after I'd take a bite of something...
#116542
*barf*
#116543
This tropette and her boyfriend, even without using pet names.
#116544
This troper and her boyfriend plead guilty as charged. Lots of cuddling and kissing, pet names-"BB", "my boy", "angel", "gorgeous"-frequent "I love you"s, constant "You're beautiful." affirmations from the boyfriend, playing with each other's hair, never having serious arguments or fights... Has made this troper's sister and friends roll their eyes on more than one occasion. One friend remarked once, regarding our relationship, "Ugh, they're like the model couple. It's disgusting."
#116545
This troper and her fiancee. Around friends it often takes a slightly sarcastic tone, as though we were deliberately doing it to irritate people. Except that we're ''worse'' when no one else is around.
#116546
This Troper's friend has yet to have a boyfriend that settled well with her, but one ex that she was particularly slavish around was named Clifford, generally going by Cliff. She would talk to him on her cell phone around me and use pet names like "Cliffy-Bear" and "Sweetie Boo". She would elbow me when I mimed vomiting. Humorously, now that they've broken up, if I ever want to remind her of a huge mistake (because in the long run, that relationship really was) all I do is smirk and say "Cliffy-Bear?" and she rolls her eyes.
#116547
I call the male object of my affections 'Cheese'...I'm not too sure how I got started with that one.
#116548
My best friend's sister and her boyfriend are REPULSIVELY like this. They've been dating for three years almost and they still speak baby talk to eachother and spend most of their time cuddling and calling each other baby names. My brother, who's good friends with both of them, started saying they were faggots (I don't approve of this, obviously, but...) and they've taken to calling each other faggots ''in schmoopy voices''. IE, 'You're the biggest faggot,' 'No, baby, you're a WAY bigger faggot.' Etc.
#116549
What.
#116550
I Agree, What.
#116551
This Tropette has two Facebook frieds / acquaintances who started dating about a month ago. I'm afraid that I got the most severe case of diabetes ever after forced to read all their honey filled, sugar coated "loveyouloveyouloveyou" texts and see all making out pictures from my wall. I've seriously thought about trying to break up those two so that the pink poison shots of pain and disgust could stop.
#116552
This tropette agree's with you. It TastesLikeDiabetes When supposedly happy couples with nothing to prove put up make out shots as their profile photo.
#116553
This troper had a couple like this back in school, but as far as I am concerned they have true love so it doesn't really bother me.
#116554
This troper and her boyfriend are somewhat of a subversion. He'd appreciate being a couple of MakeOutKids in the park, but this troper insists that all displays of affection stronger than HoldingHands or an arm around each other take place in private. Her best friend and his girlfriend, however, play this totally straight. This troper is really very happy for the two of them, but she's concerned about her bloodsugar.
#116555
This troper and her boyfriend spend a lot of the time cooing over each other in person and online. Seriously we don't go for ONE SINGLE CONVERSATION without commenting how good looking the other is, or a 'I wish you were snuggling with me right now'. I'm really not kidding.
#116556
This troper and her girlfriend are a strange version of this, as they're currently in a LongDistanceRelationship, which makes it difficult. And we argue frequently. But the good outweighs the bad and we always talk about the things we'd do if we met up (NOT THAT like go shopping together)), give each other silly nicknames, call each other cute, etc...if she sees this...Ai rabu yuu! <3
#116557
AI RABU YUU TUU <3
#116558
Wow, this sounds exactly like us! Minus the Gratuitous Japanese. :)
#116559
One of this troper's forum fellow's is like this with his girlfriend/fiancé. There's no accurate translation, but they take the nicknames to parodying lengths. Listening to them is like pouring syrup into your ears.
#116560
My parents are an odd case of this. My dad sometimes comes up to my mom, sweeps her up into a hug, starts going into this trope when my mom shoots him down. When I asked her why, she said it was because he wouldn't enjoy it if she returned the sickeningly sweet talk. However, sometimes they do get into this but it's more of a parody of it when they are both talking like that.
#116561
This Troper and her boyfriend are like this very very frequently--we give each other cutesy nicknames, get into the "no you're cuter" arguments, and always gush about how much we love each other. Our friends make fun of us for it, but that's okay with her, because she still loves her baby duck. :3
#116562
This Troper and her girlfriend started out (online) roleplaying two geeky characters in a very cutesy relationship (to the point where people would joke that we managed to even make sexy scenes sweet and adorable)... then eventually realized we liked each other outside of our characters, started dating, and proceeded to act in pretty much exactly as cutesy and sweet in our real relationship.\\ (Although this is pretty much because of her; basically she's [=~Everything's Cuter With Kittens~=] in a person, while I tend to often act like a female version of Church, and she just has this ridiculous CutenessProximity effect on me.)\\ Also, my mom and dad always acted like this together back before he died.
#116563
Seeing any couple makes me uncomfortable; I just can't handle it.
#116564
This troper's friends plan on making fun of her and her future boyfriend if we do this just to get revenge on all the other times this troper has made fun of them/gagging gestures at them.
#116565
This troper's friend has been doing it for the past month and shows no signs of stopping. Doubles as HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday for ''extra'' fun.
#116566
This Tropette's friend and her boyfriend. I've never met him, but she adores him, they have nicknames for each other, he buys her a present at least once a week--and they haven't fought yet. I'm always like, "YOU GUYS CAN'T BE THIS HAPPY! YOU NEED TO HAVE A FIGHT!"
#116567
This Troper has a pair of these in her class. They're actually not that bad, but they share a locker. And it's next to mine.
#116568
This Trooper's friend and her boyfriend are like this. They make comments about pudding on Facebook, and one day during a test when she cried about not being able to finish a portion of it, he held her hand while they both took their tests.
#116569
I have this guy on Facebook, and he was alright til he got a girlfriend. Now every status is about how much he loves her, he posts links to love songs that describe his feelings, his profile picture is of them kissing, and they send eachother gifts on facebook of hugs and kisses through various apps. Please shoot me if I ever get a boyfriend and start acting like that.
#116570
I've been like this in every relationship, but ''especially'' my current one. Constant e-snuggling ftw!
#116571
We celebrated our first month's anniversary by spamming hearts to eachother over facebook.
#116572
An acquaintance of mine once decided to ask out another one of the friends in the same group, and apparently it was successful. Now, every time I see them together, they are clinging to each other like bloody parasites.
#116573
''Everyone in my god damned high school.'' It's impossible to turn a corner without smacking into something that looks like siamese fraternal twins. And much like the Facebook examples above, one of my old friends ended up getting into a relationship with a guy (who used to bully me in middle school, no less) and there's strings upon strings of deliciously diabetic 'honeybun's infecting my News Feed. If I ever get a girlfriend, God strike me with lightning should I not keep my arms off her like some freaky tentacle monster. that's a pretty big '''if'''.
#116574
Tropers/{{Excel-2011}}. Everyone in this page has my sympathy. My older brother's greatest trespass against me, next to his growing tab on my finances, is his disrespect for my personal time when his mate is around. She will call him at literally any time of the day--even as I struggle to get some rest for an exam the next morning--and when they're in the same room as me, forget it. I'd tell them to {{get a room}}, but it is also my room. It is truly a God's miracle that I have endured this for five years and not gained a criminal record. The worst part is that I'm the least romantic person in my family and everyone in my family has at least once given me flak for not having a girlfriend. Frankly, if what I see my sisters and brothers doing when they're with their mates is part of the deal, I don't think I'm thankful enough that I have ducked those obligations. My best advice to you is to buy earplugs in bulk. Carry at least one pair with you at all times. It won't completely block it out, but it simultaneously advertises your disdain for their act without requiring any effort from you in the unlikely event they look in your direction. If that doesn't happen, only remove them when you encounter someone who needs to talk to you and complain loudly about your plight the first chance you get.
#116575
One of my biggest pet peeves is people that do this. I understand that you're in love and it's wonderful, I'm a huge romantic, but I cannot ''stand'' seeing couples that do this, it just makes me feel so uncomfortable and squicky and eeeeurgh! I find it pretty rude too, since so many times have I been talking to someone only to have them ignore me in favour of sucking their SO's face off (another pet peeve of mine is being ignored, if it counts). I find it really hard to hold it in now, to the point where I openly rant about it infront of others, which may come across as a surprise to some of them.
#116576
This troper saw this all the time at college. On the one hand it was nice to see couples who enjoyed being together but these guys... good gods, not fun at all. I could feel my kidneys failing anytime we hung out. Not to mention I would get insanely jealous with one couple due to my unrequited crush on the girl and the couple's annoying habit of making out in public in front of me. It's a miracle I haven't needed a kidney transplant yet.
#116577
Two of this troper's classmates are straddling the fence between being cute and being this trope. When she called them out for kissing in the hallway and holding up traffic, they looked at each other, horrified, and exclaimed "We're those people that we hate!"
#116578
If this troper ever becomes one half of a SickeninglySweethearts couple, I hope to God someone snaps me out of it. The serious co-dependence just freaks me out, and I don't need to do a 180 on my personality. The guy I choose would have to be able to deal with my sarcasm and snarkiness, and not want a shmoopy lovey girlfriend. This trope is my kryptonite.
