So it sounds like nearly all relationships are showing some restraint in displays of physical affection when at least certain other partners are present.
That's my experience too, very much so.
Might be a semi-subconscious manifestation of respect: as some have written, a feeling of not wanting to assert possession, or dominance, or just do anything that might make a respected partner feel uncomfortable.
A natural feeling and nothing to worry about, in other words!
