For instance, boyfriend climbs 5.12 with his other female friends, but cries that it's too hard and too scary when climbing with his girlfriend. I can't tell you how many times I've seen that at the crag. It's a really strange dynamic that a lot of couples fall into.
Now that you mention it, I do notice myself climbing harder and a little bolder sometimes with other women. I think this maybe because I am sometimes the 'rope gun' and pressure myself to climb harder. However, when I realize that I am holding myself back, I get really pissed off and that forces me to climb harder. Maybe this is what you are witnessing.
On another note, I do sometimes notice people trying to steal my climbing partner! My husband and I are a good match, and sure, it's good for us to climb with other folks. But sometimes people ask him to climb for the weekend. And this is fine - as long as I have someone to climb with at my level, too!
