Boyfriend kisses gay friends on the lips

I doesn't have to be sexual i'm not sure straight men kiss others on the lips. Quite possible that he is bi but so what?

Hmmm… I think it depends. Has it happened more than once? My best friend is gay and he and DH get on like a house on fire. In a fit of excitement when very drunk at our engagement party my best friend grabbed DH face and gave him a big kiss on the lips. It literally wasn’t a big deal at all. DH wasn’t bothered, in fact one of his slightly backwards friends commented that he’d “have smacked him for it” and DH told him to grow up.
It was a one off though and they know each other very very well. Not sure how I’d feel about it if DH was instigated big smooches on lot’s of men I didn’t know though.

I've never known anyone do this, all through uni, going out with rugby guys. Maybe it's just something he does but I'd be embarrassed as his GF and I think I'd just end it and move on.

How long have you been together?

I’d dump my partner if he kissed friends on the lips, regardless of their sex or sexuality.

Do you genuinely think he's gay/bi? And wants to be with this bloke?
I kiss female friends hello on the lips, and sometimes male family members. I wouldn't kiss a male friend on the lips though, especially not in front of my partner. Not bc I'm trying to pretend I don't 'fancy' them, just bc it can look the wrong way. I'd say either there's suspicion he's cheating or there isn't, his sexuality isn't really the issue.

Patrick Stewart kisses Ian McKellen on the lips, I think if you have a lot of gay friends you just adopt their ways — I hug friends who like to be hugged and not those who don’t. But if you don’t like it, tell him.

Is there any way that he’s trying be, like, super right on and inclusive? Just trying to think of less obvious explanations due to the obvious ones already being pointed out

He probably started it years ago to show how non threatened he was. I worked with a guy who would deliberately flirt and be physical with our gay colleague. I asked the gay guy if he thought the other was gay, and he laughed and said no, and that lots of heterosexual men do this to prove how non homophobic they are.

Straight men are not kissing their male friends on the lips. And it's disrespectful anyway, but he can get away with it because they're guys and I'm ""straight""

What? You live in a 'renowned gay area'(?!) where everyone kisses on the lips, unlike anywhere else, but the kissing has nothing to do with being gay?

straight men definitely would do that, have you ever been a student or around guys that play sport? They do loads of shit like this in the name of “banter” or being “bros”

Christ. These responses. I live in a renowned gay area. Almost everyone here kisses each other on the lips. Men and women. It's not gay. It is affection to a friend

@CasperGutman I have never, ever kissed my child on the lips and would never! That's just wrong on multiple levels

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then it’s a DUCK. Run to the hills!

Same here (and I dont actually like it). But the straight male friends (married or single) - always a kiss on the cheek or brief hug. No lips!

I am on the fence, I’m female and have a few close friends who I always kiss on the lips when we say hello. I do it front my husband. It’s not sexual, I don’t think it’s disrespectful to my husband, I also wouldn’t care if he did it.

I guess it depends on the type of kiss, if just a friendly greeting I wouldn’t be bothered. Also would you be that bothered if he kissed a straight man on the lips?

But are their straight male friends ok with being kissed? My DP wouldn’t be

I don’t know. I have male gay friends who kiss everyone on the lips (male or female).

I don’t kiss anyone on the lips other than my partner. Not siblings, not lifelong friends, nobody. The men I know don’t even hug each other, they shake hands.

I don’t know if he’s straight, bi or gay. But he’s a disrespectful prick to kiss someone on the lips when he has a partner and gaslighting you to say it’s “just banter”. I’d kick this one into touch.
