Thats funny, I've noticed this too and it drives me crazy. It is like the breathing is a social behavior. This is the main reason I can't WILD next to my girlfriend in bed. I have to move to the guest room. It drives me nuts to hear her change her breathing when I change mine. I've also noticed that she always tries to breathe louder than me, if that makes sense. I know it is an automatic response, but it still drives me crazy.
