Google Auto-fill: a window into our relationships?

I had some fun with Google's auto-fill feature today and it made me realize that there may be a LOT of people out there in need of couples' counseling. What do you think?

Hit the jump for "my husband" and "my wife."

Just start typing "Why can't" and there it is.

I hope they don't make me return the Canadian I already own.
