DEAR MISS MANNERS: I will soon be attending my 50th law school reunion. I expect that, at least once, I will be in the company of a certain married couple, as both people were law school classmates of mine.

This couple “adores” each other, very publicly. They exchange loving glances, mild caresses and light kisses at every opportunity, in every venue.

I find their behavior inappropriate. Is there a polite way to ask them to stop?

GENTLE READER: No. Miss Manners supposes the charm that this couple is still so in love — or at least eager to counter divorce rumors — after decades of marriage is lost on you.

If it irritates you beyond polite tolerance, you may say, “Ah! I see another classmate. I’ll leave you two alone to enjoy each other’s company.”
