Yes. This reminds me of a situation when we eat out at those restaurants that have two sets of doors. DW opens the first door for me and then if he holds the door open for the next couple, I either have to open the 2nd door for myself or let the other couple in line ahead of us. To me, the polite thing for DW to do is to hand the door off to the people behind us so that he can open the second door for me. Otherwise you can end up letting 10 people in line ahead of yourself and waiting an extra ½ hour in line. In other states I have lived in this could probably be handled differently because the favor would be returned but in Florida, well, manners are a little more, shall we say, taken advantage of. So, if you must pick and choose, PICK YOUR WIFE. Maybe you could look a little tiny bit put out at those other people. I can’t imagine the usher cutting you out if you were walking close enough to Eeyore to look like you were with her. We have gone in fast food places where DW would stand so far away from me in line, no one would even know we were together. To me it was a subconscious passive way of him disconnecting from me. I’m pretty sure when a guy wants to show off his girl he doesn’t keep his distance. HD, do you consider yourself a pretty fair judge? Because I agree with Eeyore, it isn’t fair and it isn’t logical for you to take things out on her when someone else did the irritating behavior. So really, what is going on? Were you already irritated with her about something else she corrected you on earlier, or is the closeness just a little too uncomfortable for you and it’s time to break the bond? C2
