My experience (and surprise) w/ --numerous-- US friends is hearing "you French are forever bickering w/ your spouses !" --and the original happenstance was : I expressed a disagreement w/ my wife in public (in their presence)...
My (our) belief is : my couple is solid enough to take a dose of expressed disagreement; whereas (it seems) my US counterpart instantly interprets expressing disagreement (in public?) as a threat to their couple ?
Rings any bells ?
