Do you think thats a learned behavior? ie. Your dog sees you holding hands with a significant other and thinks 'why not hold hands with her or him because it's my friend too and to show compassion towards him or her.'

Could be? She gets very jealous if my husband sits too close to me on the sofa.

That may be instinctive. Who feeds and waters her the most, and spends the most time doing stuff, ie. playing fetch, with her, more so when she was little? That may be instinctive because she sees you as more her human rather than him, so she's 'blocking' him out in a way.

My brothers dog does this with any girls he brings home. Going so far as pushing one girl on to the floor while she has sleeping.
