Of course it is! Do you know what dancing leads to? Have you seen 'Footloose' (the ORIGINAL one?)

I was in Chicago one time and I saw a man dance with his wife.

Man, the whole REASON I got myself a man (and soon, a baby) is so that we can all snuggle all the time in a huge puppy pile.

Also, we're that awful couple that sits next to each other in the booth. It's actually because my sweetie is deaf in one ear and can't hear me otherwise in a noisy restaurant ... but I like it for the closeness too!

At a family gathering.

Fine in private or amongst close friends after drinking lots of wine.

SIL does this all the time. Its weird/gross. And just plain rude while MIL and I slave away in the kitchen!

This is totally disturbing.

I think I'd have to cut them off.

fracking prudes! Who gives a shit who gives a fuck?

Sitting on someone's lap is just a little "parrent/child" which is why I find it weird. But hey, if it works for you, go for it. I'm sure we all do things other's find weird.

This is how I feel too. We hold hands, put arms around shoulders, are affectionate, but the whole sitting on his lap thing feels too much like a big daddy/little woman thing. It doesn't bother me at all when others do it (actually, I don't think I've seen anyone do that in years) but if I did, I would just think she's a bit submissive and he exerts the "I'm man of the house" vibe. But it doesn't bother me at all to see.

WRT sitting on the same side of the booth. It's odd if you're in the booth next to theirs and they're sitting on the side that has them facing you. You feel like you have an audience watching you -- why sit on the same side? Doesn't it strain your neck to look at each other? I'd much prefer to be looking at my DH while we're talking rather than feel his leg and shoulder rubbing up against me. It's not even affectionate touching, it's just sitting next to each other.

This actually made me laugh. WTF?!?!

THanks for bumping this. It made my morning. SO FUNNY!

This is SOOO two years ago.

Now women are giving their husband's blow jobs on the couch in the presence of company.

i saw a married couple holding hands and laughing and i threw up in my mouth

I only hope my husband still wants me to sit on his lap when I'm 60.

You people are weird.

I agree. My husband and I are openly affectionate with one another because we love one another. We've been together for a long long time, and I know I'll be sitting in his lap when we're 80.

in a diaper, I'm sure

You made me swallow my coffee all wrong laughing at this!
