[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not really annoying, more like I get jealous when I see a man be physically affectionate with his wife. Not making out but a hug, quick rub on the back,[b] holding hands[/b], etc. My husband is a great guy and loves me but he's not even a tiny bit physically affectionate and it makes me sad.[/quote]

Sometimes it isn't always what it seems.  While I love my wife and we do have plenty of displays of affection at home, when we are out and about, we usually hold hands (when we're not holding our preschoolers' hands.  My wife is visually impaired with about 95% vision loss in her right eye and limited vision varying between 20/70 on the rare good day and about 20/250 in her left.  When the lighting is wrong, she can be virtually walking in a fog, other days, she's quite fine, barring the 90 degree vision loss on her right.  Her vision loss is due to a genetic disorder that is hereditary.  She doesn't look particularly visually disabled and she tries to hide it when possible.  So, whenever we are together, we mostly hold hands.  If she holds my elbow it pretty much calls attention to the fact that something is wrong.  So we hold hands like we always have done, and it looks like a PDA when it really is just me being able to help guide her so that she doesn't bump into people on her blind side or fail to notice something with her limited vision.

Sorry if that offends or annoy some of you.  I also know a friend who has a bad knee that sometimes flares up at the most awkward moments.  She often holds her husband's hand so that she can signal that she needs his immediate support when her knee decides that today in this hour it's going to give up for the next 30 seconds.  Many people with hidden disabilities try hard not to put their disability on display and PDAs with your supportive spouse are a good way to mask an issue.

PP, it doesn't bother me. I just get jealous--I know it's my problem. And it's very sweet the way you and your DW and your friend and her DH support each other. I know it's not easy to have a disability. [/quote]
