How often do you hold hands with your partner? Does it make a difference if you are in public or at home?

1. my husband and I almost always hold hands in public. We both enjoy the closeness.

2. We hold hands a lot more at home than when we’re out and about. We do it very often though

3. Almost always in public. Not as often at home. Usually laying on the other instead.

4. [removed]

5. for me, very important. and does not matter where.

6. Most of the time in public and at home we cuddle up together.

7. A lot now that I think about it

8. Not very often in public, he’s a lot taller than me and walks too fast!! Sometimes at home, but usually I’m just playing his hands.

9. We hold hands all the time. Definitely when we’re out in public, we’ll walk around hand in and. And when we’re cuddling on the couch, my husband likes to hold my hand.

10. Not super often. We hold hands when we’re out for a walk, mostly just to keep track of one another.

    We also sometimes hold hands when we’re visiting family, for example. I think it’s to give a bit of silent reassurance / comfort.

    At home it’s much rarer.

11. my boyfriend’s love language is physical touch, so we’re always holding hands, at first i thought it was weird, now i think it’s kinda cute

12. Initiated hand golding (by partner) in PUBLIC honestly makes me feel so so so loved.
    Like the simple fact that our connexion is made public, shamelessly, by such a little act really can make my day.

13. All the time; anywhere.

14. I usually grab his hand when we’re out and about or sometimes when we’re going to sleep.

15. In public we are either holding hands or have an arm around the other. 5 mth relationship, I’m 44f, I feel a bit like a teenager, but it’s lovely. At “home” it’s rare we aren’t cuddling (obviously we don’t live together so the time we spend together is limited and we both want to be touching)

16. We hold hands quite often. If we’re driving, or if we’re walking, even sitting at home at the couch. In public I use it as a way to make sure he doesn’t walk too much faster than me. But it doesn’t make a difference to me.

17. Oh always and everywhere.

18. A lot in public. At home we often just randomly hold hands while watching a movie or if we’re sitting and talking 😊

19. My husband and I lived together 6 years before we were married and have been married for 29 yrs. We still show each other a lot of affection. Including holding hands, in private and in public. We’re best friends and have always done a lot of things together. We each knew the other was The One.

20. A lot. In bed, on the couch, walking in public, driving. If we have the chance we take it.

21. Varies. Quite often when walking. Never when driving, got to keep my hand free for the gear stick.

22. In public, rarely. Our 5 year old usurped that throne. Depending on how we’re sitting or laying pretty often. Like spooning our fingers are probably interlocked

23. Very often. At home usually pressed up
    against each other

24. I’m a lefty, and my boyfriend is a righty, so he holds my right hand with his left. That way, both our dominant hands are free to sock anyone who gives us trouble!

    We do this pretty much anywhere we’re together, as much as possible.

25. We even hold hands when we sleep
