i dont think its clingy.

i think that its a form of affection. platonic and romantic.

its nice to be touched by some one who cares about you. rub or scratch my back and i will love you forever. i

ts nice to know that some one cares about you and is open enough to manifest it through a slight gesture such as holding hands or placing a hand on your shoulder.

it really is nice.

I hold her hand to keep her from getting away!

Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and we've been asleep holding hands (Arizona nights are too hot for snuggling usually)

I guess. I hate it when people hug me hello too. Keeps your boobs in your corner lady..I do not want them squished into me! Or men that hug a little too long.... I need my space.

Real affection I see in the eyes. I prefer the truth of the soul instead of a manfestation of repeated behavior through flesh. It just seems very candy and fake to me.

I don't know about holding hands in the car I am to busy shifting holding the wheel and changing radio stations to be able to do that and drive safely.

A lady sitting in her vehicle shouts to us as we walk by how sweet we looked and my DH says to her "well, she's my girl!" (Because I'm three years younger, he often tells others that I'm his "child bride!") We're celebrating our thirty year anniversary in a couple of months.

Afterwards I started noting that I didn't see any other couples holding hands and I thought maybe we're just different. So I'm asking:

Do you still hold hands with your spouse or SO? Why or why not?

No. It annoys me when I feel I am being WALKED like a child by the wrist or something and then his hands get all clammy and sweaty on mine

My husband and I have been married for 4 and a half years and we often still hold hands. Sometimes we can't hold hands because we are holding child hands
We aren't that big on PDA, but we do quick kisses and hand holding. We've even held hands at the gym when my husband pushes the levels too high while trying to impress me and I ask him if I can get him the AED

You're simply not a "touchy-feely" person. That doesn't mean those who are, are any less sincere than you are. They just express themselves differently than you.

I come from a close family; we hug, hold, kiss. That's part of MY soul.

Yeah...like at the movies or whatever. Not walking down the street or anything, though...physically awkward.
