For those of you who came in late, PDA in this context is public display of anger and not public display of affection.

Says Sanjeev, "We fought like cats and dogs on the road and then in the rick. At one point, Pooja asked me to jump out!" And though he did, Sanjeev was lucky enough to escape with a few bruises.

While your relationship may not be as violent, PDA can take its toll.

Not a Good Sign …

According to her, such fighting only increases the negativity between you and your partner. Remember, there is nothing worse than attracting third party attention to an extremely personal matter.

What Lies Ahead?

Frequent public display of anger can embarrass you and your partner as you will keep wondering if your partner will repeat the act again!

Apart from that, if your partner's PDA happens in front of family or friends, you cannot but feel awkward the next you are with them. A sense of bitterness also remains.

Such frequent fights will eventually result in a break up.

Is There Hope?

If you or your partner's anger erupts like a volcano, then the first thing to do is find an ideal middle ground! The next time you or your partner get angry in public, here are a few things you can do to control the situation suggests Dr. Ruksheda…

• Give your angry partner some space. Don't make it obvious to the people around you.
• Affection is not what you should shower on your partner just about now. This will agitate your partner even more. Find the fine line between ignoring and overdoing!
• If you are getting angry in public, then the best thing to do is leave! You need your time alone to figure out what went wrong!
• Talk! Not as a favour, but because you respect your relationship! This will also help ease tension between the two of you! 

The next time you find yourself in the middle of a PDA, handle the situation well. Washing dirty linen in public is never a good option!
