I'd likely say something along the lines of "well, we're together, so obviously something is going right" and laugh it off because that part is true lol. I wouldn't be with them if I didn't think something was worthwhile or that the hurdle we're going through can't be overcome. I have really high standards for myself and my relationships so I wouldn't hesitate to dead it if I thought I had a relationship that didn't have at least some good. And as my parents who presumably know me, they'd know that. I don't do lukewarm.
Also, I'm more likely to pay an objective therapist to listen to my whining than I am to confide in people who will likely look that same person in the eye at dinner that weekend. That's a no-no.
Great answer, so if you're at your parents house for let's say Thanksgiving dinner and your dude does something asshole-ish, (like fuss at you because you didn't do something lol), you know sometimes couples have their spats in front of family (maybe that's just my family and the ppl I know type shit) and the family sees it. Do you express your anger at that moment and walk around with a sad face or do you keep a smile on your face, play it off like it aint nothing and just keep your distance from your dude to let him know he did something ass-hole-ish?
I guess I'm trying to ask, how do you avoid the obvious when something goes wrong in front of ppl and they ask?
