Friend always kisses DH on the lips. Is this weird?

[cacklingmags]

DH and myself are in a group of friends who meet up often and there are the old hugs and kisses. This female friend of mine, who is single, always kisses my DH on the lips, and occasionally does the same to me. I don't much like being kissed on the lips and DH is not all that keen. They spend time together in the group, as I do with others, its a mixed group and no one is worried about who their partner is talking to, its all very relaxed. Is this kissing thing weird?

Eat tuna and a garlic baguette before you see her.

I would do that small child thing afterwards and wipe my sleeve across my mouth in disgust.

That'd get the message across without saying a word hopefully.

Just mind she doesn't try slip a sneaky tongue in 🤪

Loads of my family do this. I never realised it was weird till dp told me. Now i do cheek kisses

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, how grim!

This takes me back. We are NOT a kissy family - we aren't even a huge family! However, my Auntie had a wonderful partner, a truly, lovely man, more like a father than an Uncle to me and his one main flaw was that he kissed us all on the lips. Like another poster, he clearly had NO idea of how inappropriate this was. When I was 12 and going on for my teens and just desperate to have my first ever kiss (by a boy my age!) it was just AWFUL to have this "uncle" always kiss me on the lips every time I saw him. It felt like he "took" my first kiss at the time (I was a precious teenager lol) and I can remember always going bright red and dying a little inside every time he did it.

There was nothing at all untoward about him, just this horrible kiss on the lips habit.

A few years ago an older (but not elderly) female stranger grabbed my arms (pretty much imobilising me) and kissed me on the lips at church, very sloppily and left her saliva on me. I viewed it as an assault. I definitely think she was an opportunist and using the whole "being in a church and just being welcoming and inclusive" to hide behind. It was horrible. I genuinely wish I had slapped her across the face and I am not a violent person at all.

Kissing on the lips is not acceptable in this kind of context at all. I also HATE it when parents encourage their children to kiss people on the lips. My best friend was forever making her little girl kiss everyone goodbye and was very strict with her when she didn't want to, as if she was being naughty for not wanting to kiss the neighbour or her second cousin once removed every time they were heading out the door.

That should say "huggy" family. We are actually a HUGE family. But we don't do hugs much lol.

Yanbu, I only kiss dp on the lips. The only exception to this is if a friend and I both went to kiss on the cheek and ended up at the mouth (this has happened with a fair few in the past )

I accidentally voted YABU.
Sorry.
I meant YADNBU.

That's very good thinking Monkey and encapsulates exactly what I think myself but until you said it, I could not articulate.
