Ever had a public argument with your significant other?

Think that's bad? While it wasn't a public argument, my ex stopped talking to me, stormed off and had a major falling out with me when we were on a night out with a bunch of friends.

The reason? Another girl was checking me out. I didn't even realise, and on telling her that, she said "that's hardly the point" . . . ***!

Yes, this is normal (for some, I and many others I know had similar in the past) :D

Yup, normal for anyone going out with a crazy chick.

2 years from last mother's day. My (now ex) wife and I go to a brunch thing with my whole family at knotts berry farm. I happen to be wearing my new (at the time) and awesome radiohead shirt. Being that its an awesome shirt, this one random girl, as she is passing me by, says to me, innocently enough, 'I really like your shirt'. She might as well have said "Your shirt makes you look so irresistable that I have the urge to rip my panties off, lay on this floor, and have you mount me in front of everyone in attendence". I mean, maybe the girl was been slightly flirty, but what can I do about random passers by making a comment on my choice of attire. My ex flew off the handle saying how she wanted to beat this girl up and she shouldnt be talking to a married man, etc... My whole family told me she was nuts. They were right.
 
^^ Yes, that is a bit beyond, I can handle quirks and off days and can make allowances for ever changing needs (I have to, being myself, that's only fair), I was thinking more 'mainstream' stuff, don't get me wrong, I've also come across a few bunny boilers that were certifiably dangerous too.
 
Having a yelling match in public is just so low class. I've dated exactly one woman who thought it was okay to air things out loudly and in public. Our relationship ended that night.

My wife and I don't even yell at home. It's not really in our nature, and even if it was we don't want the kids (3, 1 and negative 6 months old) to see us fighting.

On the other hand our neighbors have drag out screaming fights regularly (complete with shouted f bombs) and they often spill out in to the front yard, mostly ending with the wife getting in her car and peeling out down the street.
