No to holding hands. We will kiss in public, no problem, but we don't do it just to be doing it. kwim? Like if we were at a store, I highly doubt it would happen. But it's not like we wouldn't. Just no real reason to stop and start kissing.. lol
Holding hands for us is limited... we both start getting twitchy with sweaty hands.... lol..
I guess we are just not PDA people.. haha

PDA is not indicative of the health of a marriage. DH and I do not hold hands in public or private. Doesn’t mean we don’t touch or like or love each other.
He’s the person I most want to spend my time with. We are a team and have shown that to DS. I’m sure a poll will show there are people who were displaying tons of PDA before splitting up.

Yes...we’ve been married for 28 years (together for 33). We even have a specific way we hold hands. If we start holding in a different way it feels odd and we quickly switch. We’ll do a brief kiss in public, but no heavy PDA. Yes!! We have a comfortable hold too, and if one of us goes another way we switch right away. LOL We have been together almost 4 yrs, we hold hands while walking, or in the car(well, my car, the truck's console is too big and uncomfortable), just about any other time/place it's comfortable. We also sit on the couch right next to each other and hold hands while watching TV or scrolling through FB (well, he scrolls, I'm usually unplugged after suppertime by choice!). If we kiss/hug it's quick pecks. We go home for lunch, so we see each other everyday for lunch but we go "out" on Fridays for lunch. We have been going to the same little mom & pop diner since we started dating (our first date was a lunch date on a Friday). We've only missed a handful of Fridays.

Yep. I always feel kinda sad for ppl that aren't affectionate. (yes, I know, we show love in different ways blah blah blah). I see couples totally into each other when they get married and then I shoot them 2 years later for the baby and it's almost like they don't like each other much. I find that super weird. I get that A LOT.
Having said that, my ex and I weren't really big PDA (probably partly why we didn't last). My husband and I hold hands a lot, get along well (mostly lol) and he's been known to dance with me while shopping and dip me in the middle of the frozen food section at walmart. haha. We've been married almost 11 years.

holding hands? God no. If we do hold hands, it lasts about 5 seconds before we have to let go. Neither of us likes it. Our PDA is at the bare minimum.

Nope. Not ever. I am not physically demonstrative. I also hate to be touched when I’m not expecting it..If DH would grab my butt or breast for example, I would probably slug him in response without thinking. I don’t mind when other couples are touchy feely but I get creeped out by being touched.

We hold hands all the time. If we're walking together, we're holding hands. Or he offers me his arm during slippery situations. He also opens doors, walks on the street side of the sidewalk, and serves me first when he's pouring drinks. He's a gentleman.
We've been married 29 years now. I hope to hold his hand until I die.

No, not really. Neither of us grew up in a family that was very touchy. In the privacy of our home we are affectionate, but not in public. Not a good or bad thing: it's just us and the way we are.

We hold hands a lot. My parents did too. I remember a minister commenting in church once about how my parents held hands all the time. After my Mom passed away I started going to church with my Dad and he would hold my hand
