Why do some people behave like a snob when they are around

their girlfriend or boyfriend. I dont know why people do this but a friend of mine was hopping mad today. She was out and saw her personal tutor with his girlfriend. She was just about to say hi when he looked away and pretended that he had not seen her. The guy just ignored her... She says she was so shocked as he would always say hi to her even getting her attention when she was unaware of his presence. Why do people allow others to change and control their lives is a mistery to me. I certainly would ensure that I tell him to avoid calling to me ever again. That way when he's out with his girlfriend again he would not have to pretend he did not know me. I think that was quite rude of him. There is this friend I have also who is so totally different when his wife is not around. When she is he is like a stuffed up turkey. Blah... I really cant deal with peple who are like that. Do you know anyone who is like this? Some one who is actually a nice person but has to act like a total snub when their partners are around? Its immature dont you think?

Yes I do know some one like that and it is unfortunately someone very close to me. No idea why she does it but I hate it. It has got to the point where I can even tell whether she has someone in when I phone her because she puts on a 'posh' voice when answering the phone if she is not alone. I wonder if people who act like this really have something to hide or do they have some sort of inferiority complex? Maybe they think that they have to pretend to be different from how they usually are because they are not up to the standards of other people so they pretend to be like them. It's all very false and I tend to steer away from people who act like it too.
