I’m not sure it even has a name but the term couples use most often is ‘Putting On a Show.”
When it happens, it’s discouraging and misunderstood.
No one plans to argue in the car, then walk into an event as the ‘Perfect Couple’ and then resume the argument the moment you walk out the door.
It makes sense that you would want to show your best side to others; neighbors, friends, family and sometimes – perfect strangers.
