Classing Couples
20 Jul
Hey everyone! How was your weekend? I honestly didn’t expect for “My Name Is Not Angela” to post properly since my scheduled posting has gone astray. I was just going to spend gym night with my church when I realized I had a few e-mail notification comments from the post. Perhaps I have conquered the ever dreadful wp-cron debacle. I spent Saturday in Celebration and Old Town Kissimmee. I’ve never visited Old Town so it was pretty interesting.
I’ve recently come to the realization that most of my friends/associates are couples. Whether they be eighteen to seventy, most of my friends are no longer single. It is a bit odd no longer being the “token couple.” David and I were every one’s ”couple friends”; but now all of our friends are couple friends. I think it’s pretty interesting to see how different people behave in private and in public. I like to class them in a few different groups.
The fighting couple. They are usually married and fight about everything. Their sarcasm levels with each other make Gregory House look like an amateur. However, they love each other. They just have the ability to pick at each other’s nerve.
The teenage couple. They are never any older than 21. They usually have only been together for a few weeks or months but already feel as if it has been years. They express PDA more than any other couple. They tend to think everything is cute and playfully disagree occasionally. Of course it’s hard to tell if they are really interested in each other, or if they just like the idea of having a significant other. Usually it’s the latter of the two.
The best friend couple. I guess I could group David and I into this group. This couple pretty much breathes the same air. They do everything together. From the outside looking in, it seems to be the most sickening thing on Earth. These two never seem to be separated. However, despite what others may think, these two have their ups and downs as well. They just seem to apply the term “Don’t go to bed mad” literally. These couples can also be two completely insane individuals who may have years of built up frustration. You never know.
The social butterfly couple. These two get out and they get out a lot! They are the “It” couple. They’re the two you see always together at every event who everyone is envious of. They just look great together. They compliment each other well, and they always bring a wonderful vibe to the party. Everyone wants them there, but knows they are insanely jealous that two people seem to be so perfect. While the social butterfly couple enjoys the spotlight, they would rather spend quality time alone. They enjoy having friends and they make the best of any situation.
The anti-couple couple. This is the couple that you never know if they are together or not. They break up and make up constantly. They hate each other one moment and can’t get enough of each other the next. This can also be applied to your friends who would make the perfect couple but do not want to commit. They laugh and talk, but run from a commitment with each other. They enjoy the single life but secretly want to love of a relationship.
I just made a little analysis on my couple friends. How would class yourself if you’re in a relationship? If none of the above, what type of couple would you consider yourself? If you’re single, what type of couple would you be if you were in a relationship? I just thought I’d give everyone a little food for thought. Happy Monday!

I believe we are the Best Friend Couple. We’ve been together eight years, lived together for three, and just got married… but, we still always do everything together.
I definitely know the rest of the couples, though. Sitting through dinner with The Fighting Couple is the most awkward thing ever.

Hey thanks for the comment. That’s what I try to do with my blog – basically state what’s truthful and whats REALLY happening in my life, someday I’ll help someone with my words. They will either relate and realize that someone outthere is the same, or they won’t make the same mistakes I have…
I definitely think my fiance and I fall into ALL the categories. LOL We fight often, but playfully. It’s never a major fight to the point of breaking up. As a matter of fact, our friends often find our fights quite entertaining because it is normally “Mike, could you do …” And he says he will, but never does, then I get super angry, and he just sits there. Then I get more made, and he waits until I calm down, then says he’s sorry and makes everything all better.
We are also very sarcastic, but we’re each others best friends. Honestly, I believe my fiance and I are a rare form when it comes to relationships. He puts up with my crap, I deal with his, but in the end, and after four years, we still love each other uncontrollably and unconditionally; the same, if not more since the first moment we realized that we had fallen in love with one another.

I like you thoughts on couples :) I think my boyfriend and I are the best friend couple. We get along really well and do a lot of things together. Haha I would also probably live in Ikea if I could

I think Krissy and I are the fighting combined with the affectionate followed by the best friend couple, combined into one.

oh wow mine would probably be the fighting couple. we always have something to argue about but we definitely can’t handle separation from each other ;)
I am currently the “single friend” amongst couples – since about half of my friends are in serious relationships and the other half are the anti couple-couple type.
I haven’t dated in so long. If I’m in a relationship I would most likely be the best friend couple. Most of my friends fall into the anti-couple because they’re always making and breaking up. I know a lot of teenage couples as well. It’s pretty much annoying.
Well in my last relationship before my hiccup I think I was in the butterfly couple class. Everyone’s favorite couple. We didn’t go out ALL of the time but when we did all eyes were on us.
I am part of a Teenage Couple, but we’ve been together for almost three years. XD I guess we’re closer to the Best Friend Couple, but we’re not quiiiite like that, I think. XD
Ha, how funny… just before I read your comment, I was telling this other girl about how maybe I shouldn’t have told my friends about my site, because now I can’t rant or post about them in hopes of third-party advice, because they might see it. And you agreed! lol.
I’ve been with my boyfriend for 6 years, and we’re both in our 20s now! I’d classify us as a blending of the two. We’re the social butterfly couple, the best friend couple, and the fighting couple all at the same time depending on what’s going on. Sarcasm oozes out of our pores (We must have learned from Gregory House because we’re avid fans, LMAO!), but we try very very hard not to fight/be angry in public. All in all, we’re just that long-term couple who manages to make everything work out eventually.
This was such a fun post to read by the way. I want to hear how you classify other things! Maybe high school cliques or college cliques or something?
I’m glad you enjoyed it! lol I may do a series on this! I didn’t know I was this interesting.
Josh and I would definitely be considered the ‘Best Friend Couple’. We’ve been together over 6 years and have definitely seen the best and the worst of each other. No matter what though, we always try to keep the balance in the relationship so that we don’t end up being an ‘anti-couple couple’. ;)
