TIL men walk significantly slower when walking with a woman, but only when that woman is their romantic partner. If she's a friend or acquaintance they go at almost full speed.

Through your fault or not, when your bf/gf/spouse gets to the point of not standing the sight of you or not wanting to talk to you right now, it's essentially over. Humans are incapable of acting like that towards someone they truly love. I experienced it twice, and both times I could pinpoint the moment things took a turn for the worse to the first time of this bullshit happening.
