to offer my cheek not my lips to dp...

[MaeBee]

dp has just stormed off in a huff (to shops, with DS, as arranged) because when he went to kiss me goodbye i offered my cheek not my lips. "whats wrong with you?!" he almost-shouted. "what??" i reply.
this is mid fridge-clean and i have a stinking cold and DS is teething and also has a stinking cold, and im trying to get on with the housework for the 45 minute break while they go to the shop, and sometimes i dont feel like playing the loving wife.
is it ok to not want lip lip contact without there being a major reason? or am i being mean? ("again". he would no doubt add if he was on mumsnet. which he's not. thank god.)
answers please. preferably clever ones so if he starts a row about it when he comes back i have a good retort! needs to be fairly quick cos he's off out tonight so we can't be arguing all evening....

YABU!!

My dh gets a proper kiss no matter where we are!

We were stood in front of the kitchen window this evening.. he was cooking dinner & I was stood against the sink chatting to him. As he walked past me he slapped me on the backside & kissed me.

I always kiss him properly goodbye in the mornings etc.. tell him to drive carefully. It's such a routine in this house that even ds (2.10) says "Kiss n hug daddy? Now drive slowly!"

I would apologise as I would feel guilty but state my reasons for pulling away.

Oh and show him a snotty tissue to back up my point! :D

i cant believe your all so yukky lovey.

I love my man so shoot me! :D

why do you have to kiss him on the lips everytime he leaves the house? that doesnt mean you love him? i love my dh i just dont kiss him when he leaves the house.

How long have you been together Talulasmum?

16 years.

but it would honestly get on my nerves if i had to give him some big smacker on the lips, everytime he left the house.

sometimes hes in and out 3 or 4 times a day, id be worn out.

Ah, you see I don't feel I have to.

I want to.

It's intimate, loving, shows we care.

Not that you don't care because you don't kiss!

We'll be together 14 years soon. Married 10.

would dh be bothered if you didnt?

Yes, he would.

He has often came out to the car to kiss me goodbye if I haven't kissed him before I left.

well im jealous now.

Ah don't be

You must always kiss goodbye on the lips
It could be the last time you ever see him!

Oh Gosh, Hellcat, yes, imagine that

i will endeavour to give a goodbye shag every time he pops to the corner shop, cos it might be the last time i see him!
in fact, don't most fatal accidents happen in the home? we should be beating out the rhythm of the swamps before either of us leaves the room!

I once met a BF at a trainstation and because I'd bumped into someone I knew there who was with me when he turned up, he gave me a cheek when I went to kiss him.

I could have smacked him in the head.

I dumped him of course, this was just the tip of the iceberg in terms of physical weirdness.

But I guess if you've a cold it might be a bit different........

MaeBee, a goodbye shag sounds like a must!!

My dh does this to me too - when I move in to kiss him goodbye he turns slightly so I miss his lips. Drives me fcking nuts tbh & puts me off trying. I don't have bad breath (at least I don't think I do) so wtf? It actually puts me off trying to kiss him.

Of course when he's feeling frisky it's a different matter

, my dp gets huffy about this aswell, shhish, men and their egos!!
