No right or wrong answer here. I'm just curious if I'm the only one who feels the way I do.

Feeling of wanting to be there! Feelings of togetherness and a sharing of intimacy! Feelings of memorable ,fun times! Feelings of sharing the beauty and awe of nature with someone who I have the same feeling about! Feelings of risk and adventure. Feelings of making this a sexual dream come true! Feelings of sheer joy to be away from the screen, and with someone who enjoys and desires my company instead. Feeling of HOPE that it can still happen. Feelings of youth and freedom, all over again! ------------------------------------------------ Feelings of denial and being trapped. Feelings of remorse that so many years have been wasted. Feelings of anger that the same opportunities where given time and time again to my partner, and they where rejected, denied, laughed at discarded. Feeling of self doubt, that this will ever happen again. Feelings that the best I will do is experience this alone, and that is better than not experiencing anything close to this ever again.

Is the glass half full or half empty?
If I'm looking positively, it's a couple taking a walk in a lovely setting and she's playfully pulling him along, leading him somewhere, to show him something or find a secluded spot. (Wishful thinking.)
Tainted by my personal struggles, I see a guy trying to be affectionate and his spouse pulling away. This happens to me a lot; she always has something more important to do than waste time in an embrace.
Analytically, with her back fully turned and her grip loose, the picture seems more like the latter than the former. The grip is his, not hers.
I'll be curious to hear what you see.

I'll be curious to hear what you see. I'm feeling a bit embarrassed to say that the picture instantly stirred up anger for me. There's something about it that really rubs me the wrong way. It feels controlling to me. I feel like she's dragging me along unwillingly for some reason. It doesn't feel romantic to me in the least. I think in the past, this pic would have given me a warm fuzzy feeling. For some reason though... that's not the case in the present day.

I think in the past, this pic would have given me a warm fuzzy feeling. For some reason though... that's not the case in the present day. Let me take a stab at that. Because you (and me) can't even remember the last time our spouse did something for us. Everything is about them. An un-selfish act throws up a red flag. You (and me) are aware of the manipulation in there tactics. Think about the positives. Think about all the man that you are, and how fortunate this person is to be with you. Imagine setting an attainable goal of meeting someone, and being with someone who would cherish moments like this, together. An equal amount of giving and receiving. Honestly it's not un reachable, the change will begin with you realizing what makes you happy and then doing what it takes to reach that goal, a new beginning. A fresh start with someone else.

A skinny woman dragging a man around. It's always annoyed me for some reason.

Thank you for all of that. I agree with you on a lot of what you said.

Skinny or not ( He might be skinnier than her) at least he's not getting stuck with " you're supposed to know what I'm feeling and thinking at all times". Or "I want you to take control! But...you better do what I tell you to!!" I like to assume there's communication going on, and it's not a one way street.

She wants to share something with me that she knows we will both enjoy.

A Happy couple spending time together. Holding hands. Walking along a path in the outdoors, enjoying sunshine and time together. She is leading him to somewhere to show him something that she feels is beautiful, romantic, interesting, fun.
I can see two perspectives, one person pulling another along, separating the relationship, only doing what they want.
I choose to make it a happier picture, live the dream, not the reality.
