dude your technology is trying to tell you that you need to simplify your life and not take so much shit with you to the old world. Or...something like that.
iPods never actually turn off. After a few minutes on PAUSE it turns off the display and pretends to sleep.
There are different versions of iPod software out there and they behave a little differently.
it's a feature not a bug
so are you or your fiancee the high maintenance one?
Try a reset? Hold down the play (or is it menu?) and center button until you see the apple logo. Takes approx. 10 seconds.
My old iPod would do weird shit every so often, but it would clear itself up after I reset it. My newer iPod does less weird shit, but I have had to reset it a couple times.
edit: whether it actually stays "on" or not, the display should turn off, not just the backlight.
all it took was some unncessary internetz posting and a hard reset.
Mine does the same thing....
charge it, mine does the same thing and once I plug it in to charge, the freeze resets.
