One very big difference is that Amy and Rory were a real couple, whereas
Ian and Barbara were not allowed to develop into a couple. I have read
that William Russell regretted not being Barbara's clear romantic
interest.

Nope.

Jo Grant and that Welsh guy.

Leela and Andred (or whatever he was called).

Peri and the guy played by Brian Blessed.

Rose and Mickey.

Donna and whatever the guy's name was who got eaten by a spider.

Rose and the Doctor/Doctor's clone.

Donna and whatever the other guy she married's name was.

Rose and Mickey were not really a couple when travelling with the
Doctor. The others (deleted for brevity) were not official companions
as a couple. Captain Jack probably counts as a couple though.

You forgot Turlow and himself.

Which of these were couples for multiple episodes, aside from Rose
and Mickey? Andred seemed to be introduced as a way to get Leela
off the show. Same with Prof Jones, who might have shown up many
episodes sooner to rid us of Jo Grant.

Doctor and River.

Doctor and Jamie (if some fans are to be believed!)

Doctor and his own daughter (in real life, but thankfully not in the
story!)

The most common way for a companion to leave is for her to suddenly
fall in love with someone random from her last story. Bonnie Langford
with Sabalom Glitz (or Sam Maxstead from Ace of Wands as I think of
him) is another one. And Nyssa with Loud King Brian Blessed.

That;s not the same as a pair of companions falling for each other.

Those happened at the end.

They were not yet married. Moreso a modern Ian and Barbara though.

Oh, and if we're including same-sex couples, Tegan and Nyssa shared a
bedroom.

She's not. Her marriage is. But she still calls him husband.

Talking of the Doctor's wives, there's also the Doctor and "Sexy".

I said daughter, not granddaughter. And real-life, not fiction.

We know the Doctor's real wife is somewhere on Gallifrey.

You don't need a wife to be called a grandfather. You don't even need
one to be a grandfather. But even if he did have a wife, it doesn't
establish that she's on Gallifrey.

Where else could she be and how can Susan get telepathic powers?

Never mind where she is, it isn't even clear that this marriage ever
happened in the first place. Or that the concept of marriage even
exists on Gallifrey at all.

AFAIK all Gallifreyans have latent psychic powers, not just the ones
whose grandparents just happened to be married.

Firdt Rose, then the Doctor. At the time I thought it was referencing
a similar scene at the end of Starman where Jeff Bridges first kisses
Karen Allen, then Charles Martin Smith.

Oh, wait. I was forgetting your crackpot theory that the genes for
psychic powers can only be inherited through family lines where the
children are legitimate.

Not that you ever answered any of my questions about this theory of
yours:
