Friends and family have noticed that we don’t hold hands and it’s become a running joke
My boyfriend, Hugo, and I have been together for five years and he’s never been keen on holding my hand. I’d prefer it if he showed me some affection. It’s a small thing that reassures me about the relationship.
Hugo says he likes to keep his hands free to gesticulate, and that he doesn’t like public displays of affection, but hand-holding is pretty low down on the rung of the PDA ladder. In my family, we are quite huggy and used to touching. Hugo went to boarding school and I’m convinced that’s why he doesn’t like it. I went to school round the corner from my house. I still hold my mum’s hand when we’re out.
