I'm living with an engaged couple, and they don't keep their arguments private. I could be watching tv in the living room and they'll come right out and argue in front of me. I feel really awkward and don't know what to do. I sometimes try to ignore it or I leave, but if I leave they start arguing that they made me leave...What should I do?

You wear a whistle and a referee uniform.

Start looking for someplace else to live.
In the meantime, don't hang out in common space - get a TV for your room. Wear headphones all the time so you can either turn up the music, or pretend you can't hear them.
When they are NOT fighting, tell them that it is very hard for you to be in the middle of their fights and they need to keep their arguing to private spaces.
but really, I would move out if I were you. It might be a subconscious reflex from one or both of them to take the fight in front of someone else - either as a way to hopefully deflect the anger onto someone else, to keep the fight from escalating, or as a form of protection by making sure there are witnesses. Either way, it is NOT fair for you, and you shouldn't have to live with this.

Well you can tell them that's it's bothering you. But maybe you need to find another place to live and not have to deal with it anymore.

Buy them a pair of boxing gloves and tell them that this is what they need to solve their problems. They may not be aware of how often they fight.

They do it on purpose so you can leave, because they want the tv all to themselves!!!!!

Just jump right in the middle of them and yell "Shut the **** up you ****-faced, ****-for-brains, ******* ***** bag, dumb ***, *** sucking, ******* **** rags!" That should take care of your problem.
