DH cuddling and kissing his DM

Yesterday my DH was sat on the sofa with his DM cuddling her and kissing her on the head. this has made me feel a bit sick and has put me off him. I’m all for affection but sitting on the sofa cuddling your mum all afternoon is surely a bit much.

Every relationship is different. I wouldn't mind a hug and a kiss in the cheek or forehead. But yes cuddling all afternoon?! He's your husband though. Has this not happened before? You must have realised they had a close relationship

How are you married to him and only just noticed this?

Is this a serious thread?

Pompombears2 · 26/12/2018 08:10

Too weird. Sounds gross. But how has this only just come up? We need more info OP

EffYouSeeKaye · 26/12/2018 08:11

Depends a bit on how often he sees her and if he thinks he might have have very few years left with his mum.

But yes, if he sat with his arm around her constantly and was kissing her head frequently then I’d think it odd. MH a bit fragile at the moment, possibly?

Awrite · 26/12/2018 08:12

Bit strange to come out of the blue like this.

surferjet · 26/12/2018 08:14

Maybe he was drunk & thought it was you?

CaptainsYuleLog · 26/12/2018 08:15

It's not him, it's you.

The OP is a well-established poster, oh Klutzy troll hunter.

OP - I do the same with my Mum!

HairyDogsFeet · 26/12/2018 08:34

We had this theme a few weeks ago- wasn’t the thread pulled?

SantasBassoon · 26/12/2018 08:39

He hasn't just struck up an illicit relationship with his mum after all of these years.

Was it a generally shit day, and you're cross with your husband?

Hanuman · 26/12/2018 08:44

Loads of women do this with their mums

Bowerbird5 · 26/12/2018 08:50

So he loves his mum. Has he not seen her for a while.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 26/12/2018 09:10

He's just cuddling his mother and giving her a kiss on the head. Are you jealous of her?
Some families are tactile OP, they hug and kiss all the time, it's just the way they are.

Have you not seen him do this before?Confused

SoyDora · 26/12/2018 09:12

Well yeah I think it’s a bit odd, but as you’re married I assume you’ve known them a while? Is this the first time this issue has ever come up?

Hazardswan · 26/12/2018 09:14

Your jealous of him showing socially appropriate affection to his mum?

Now that's weird....

TruckLoadOfSubtleGlitter · 26/12/2018 09:37

It's put you off him?
You're married to him, isn't it a bit late for reactions like that?

That kinda thing needs to happen in the first 6 months of dating.

GunpowderGelatine · 26/12/2018 09:47

Are you Sam Faiers OP?

TruckLoadOfSubtleGlitter · 26/12/2018 09:51

Are you Sam Faiers OP? 😂

Soconfusedbylife · 26/12/2018 09:52

My DH will always have a little cuddle with his Mum when we see her (every 3/4 months). He’ll give her a kiss on ge cheek too. It feels a bit bizarre to me as my family aren’t very tactile but I really really hope my sons will still give me a cuddle when they’re grown.

Hellomumsne · 26/12/2018 09:55

Hehe, I also thought of Sam Faiers' dp cuddling and kissing his mum. My ex dp was also an extreme mummy's boy and would buy her little gifts every time he went anywhere (among other things). It was a bit odd and did make me feel a bit like I had to compete. I don't envy you OP.

“this has made me feel a bit sick and has put me off him“

Sounds like to you, cuddling on the sofa is foreplay.

That’s quite sad for you.
