Yes
No she takes my side no matter what and I take hers
Yes. Under stressful circumstances, we've both criticized how each other was acting in front of people we shouldn't have. However, we both knew it was wrong, took our appropriate time out, and apologized to each other later. Admittedly, though, I'm rather bad for this, and its a personality trait I need to work on getting rid of.
Yes...It's embarrassing and it hurts
Yes, we're both guilty of this.
It hurts me really badly, I watched years of my parents doing this, and his parents do the same. I wish I could break the pattern, I lie in bed feeling bad about it.

I'll slap his ass silly if he tries me lol
Never.
Never seriously, only jokingly which is all in good fun.
I don't think so...
Given how long we've been together, we've probably both done this, but I honestly can't remember a time when she criticized me in front of someone else. I guess if it did happen, it wasn't painful enough to remember. We both try to do this in private, I think.
Thank God, no. And this is something I won't do to my love
No, he would never do that. That's one of the things I love about him. I've had past boyfriends who have done so, and it made me feel small, little, and not confident.
thankfully never. He will talk problems eye to eye/through text message. I am kinda person that can talk more on text message, because i might easily get annoyed by tones rather than the talk itself
Never ever
I don't think she ever has but I know I have done it to her and it's one of the things I am most ashamed for in our marriage. It's never acceptable.
