Here's a thing...

This is a question for all the *couples* out there...  I'm wondering - why is it necessary to hold your partner's hand, or have your arms around each other, when doing the most mundane and uninteresting things?  Like, picking which sandwich to buy at a petrol station...  Do these things really cause anxiety?  Do they require mutual support, and the care of those who love you?  Or is it just that you can't seem to do the simplest day-to-day task without clinging to your boyspouse/girlspouse for support and reassurance?

Am I being bitter, harsh, cynical, and generally an all-round bastard?  Yes...  But I'm tired, annoyed, and I don't care...  So there!!
