I was in this situation with a woman where she would get pissed if I would play games while she watched tv. Apparently we were supposed to watch TV together. Not talk or anything, just sit and watch. That one didn't last very long.

It's simply convention. Although the Straits of Mackinac are 5 miles wide at the narrowest point, in relation to the size of the lakes it makes a significant demarcation. Sort of like the Straits of Gibraltar and the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea.
