To not want a tongue in my mouth at random times throughout the day

Nena1989x · 29/01/2024 14:53

DP's, to be precise.

For example: If he's nipping out somewhere he gives me a kiss before he goes. I'm not talking about a peck on the lips as you'd expect when saying bye, a full on snog.. tongue and all.

I'm no prude, but It can be annoying if I'm eating/drinking at the time, about to or otherwise distracted. It's one thing when you're cuddled up in bed or whatever, but at random moments throughout the day such as when i'm trying to do something.. it's a bit much.

Would you be happy with this or does it feel a bit out of touch?

I thought you had a dog. Mine has very few boundaries and will go in for the full Frenching experience if he can get close enough to your face. I don't enjoy it when he does it and wouldn't enjoy it from my DP either (and I like "making out" but there is a time and a place for it!)

YABU for making me think you’re fed up of having your own tongue in your mouth 🤦🏾‍♀️.

Seriously though - that would annoy me too. Do you ever ‘lock him out’? What does he do / say then?

Yep i "lock him out" every time. He still tries to "get in" until I make it clear I don't want to be kissed any more by pulling away 😵‍💫

He's quite insecure in himself so I tend to put off raising things that are likely to result in him feeling embarrassed or ashamed, and I'm pretty sure this will be one of them.

My DH has spells like this. Some days - a few times a day, when I get up to go for a pee, he gets up, reaches his arms out like a toddler and goes 'wah wah. kiss!

Wow, how do you keep your hands off him, that's stunningly attractive.

I like it. We're all different. Are you compatible in other ways?

You like being interrupted no matter what you’re doing at the time? 🙄

No need to roll your eyes at me. Yeah I like it when my husband randomly kisses me like that. Not under absolutely every circumstance but he's not stupid enough to do it during a mouthful of food or an online work meeting. OP is suggesting it should only happen in bed. I'm saying I like it at other times. Clearly OP's partner does too. It's not 'wrong' - they are just different.

ShennyInfinity · 29/01/2024 15:50

@KreedKafer I think that if my DP behaved like this my fanny would snap shut like a bulldog clip and then seal itself closed forever, never to be prised open again.

😂😂😂That's hilarious!

scaredofff · 29/01/2024 15:52

Oh god @EbonyRaven how do you keep your cool?? I honestly would rage and think it would put me off him
I don't think you're being direct enough

Can relate to having a dp that sulks when he doesn't get his way, I think sulking is a man thing

My two year old son has the most dramatic sulk I've ever seen, he definitely gets it from his dad.

Oh jeez. You’ll have to embarrass him so he can stop. He doesn’t mind making you uncomfortable, so why should you be so mindful of his feelings 🙄.

You can’t continue to be subjected to this nonsense.

bonzaitree · 29/01/2024 15:57

No just kiss on the lips or quick hug.

Well as I said, he doesn't do it all the time, but he does do it SOME days, (maybe 1-2 times a month, sometimes less.) And like I said, I have started to call him out and say 'I AM LEAVING THE ROOM, you will WAIT' - when he says 'come look at this' as I am leaving! And have also shoved him away when he tries to grab me/grope me for a snog when I am going for a piss!

I knew the eww what a revolting toddler leave the bastard horrible man type comments would surface! 😆Totally ignoring the fact I said it's only some days, and I am dealing with it.

There is no coercive control. I am telling him to fuck off whenever he does it. Consequently he is doing it less. Still fucking annoying though. And I know I am not the only woman who has this shit from her man. Some women have a LOT worse. Also, as you said, many men are sulky arseholes sometimes when they aren't getting their own way.

But at least some posters here have perfect partners eh? 😆 Good for them!

GalileoHumpkins · 29/01/2024 16:02

There's a whole universe of difference between perfect and a grown man saying 'wah, wah kiss' when you're leaving the room. It's so infantile that I'd cringe myself inside out and never be able to look at him again.

MorningSunshineSparkles · 29/01/2024 16:04

@EbonyRaven ofc posters thinks it’s revolting and he’s acting like a toddler - but hey if playing mummy to a full grown man is your cup of tea that’s your choice. Some days of having to act like a mummy to an adult man is still disturbing to the rest of us.

Dentistlakes · 29/01/2024 16:05

Yuck. I’m with you on this op, hideous behaviour.

DH can get like this sometimes and it really pisses me off,
especially when I’m on my way out or rushing to get stuff done. I remind him I’m an actual person and not a bloody blow up doll.

Charlingspont · 29/01/2024 16:06

Revolting. I would be tempted to bite his tongue off.

scaredofff · 29/01/2024 16:07

No @EbonyRaven please don't assume my dp is perfect at all he is far from it. Just this morning I was complaining on a thread about husbands not using the toilet brush or cleaning behind themselves so it's definitely not a mine vs yours thing here. They're all crap in their own ways
I bet you 10p mine would do things that would infuriate you make you ask me how I can stand it (answer being he works away a more than half the year so I don't have to put up with it much)

TheOriginalEmu · 29/01/2024 15:01

I thought this was going to be someone else who gets annoyed at their own tongue, and now I’m disappointed. (And feel even weirder).

but to your problem…tell him to stop it! It’s not unreasonable to not want to be snogged when you have a gob full of Food.

You've won MN for today! Laughed out loud like a loon.

Orio2023 · 29/01/2024 16:09

Doesn't sound insecure. Sounds weird and controlling with no boundaries.

Do you know how much of a red flag it is that you’ve avoided telling him to stop because he might get upset? Instead you tolerate him shoving his tongue into your mouth any time he feels like.

I think this is probably the tip of the iceberg. Because there’s no way a man who forcefully tongues you is respectful of your body.

Does he do this in front of children? Or guests?

Could you serve him ox tongue every eve until he gets the message?

Well as someone whose partner has only french kissed me during sex for the past 10 years - and never at any other time - plus he was never very keen before that, I say enjoy his passion! At least you have someone who clearly fancies you!

Orio2023 · 29/01/2024 16:11

Last time he did it, I said 'for fuck's sake I need a PISS! I am getting up to have a PISS, not to hug and kiss you!' Cue a 4 hour long sulk because I rebuffed him

I couldn’t tolerate this coercive shit. Revolting.

Don't come to MN with sensible suggestions. The only clear option is to LBT or chop off his tongue

Chop his 👅.

Tongue in your mouth does not equal fancying. It's actually quite violating if you don't want it. You like it and would like it more, great, go after it more. But you wouldn't enjoy it if you didn't want it just then.

Urgh how annoying. My DH has spells like this. Some days - a few times a day, when I get up to go for a pee, he gets up, reaches his arms out like a toddler and goes 'wah wah. kiss!' and blocks my way and won't let me past until I fucking kiss him. And he holds me tightly and squeezes me, and won't let go. 'Get outta that' he says 'go on! Get outta that!' Grin He thinks it's endearing and loveable, but in actual fact, it is bastard annoying and drives me mad.

Last time he did it, I said 'for fuck's sake I need a PISS! I am getting up to have a PISS, not to hug and kiss you!' Cue a 4 hour long sulk because I rebuffed him.

Also, he sometimes tries to keep me back when I am going off to the kitchen for a glass of water, or again going for a pee, and says 'look at this...' pointing to something on his phone or laptop. I am leaving the room but his desire to show me some shit he looking at trumps my desire to leave the room (apparently!)

I have actually started to just leave the room anyway now, and ignore his pleas to stop and come and look at what HE wants me to look at. He says 'oi I was talking to you.' I have started saying 'I told you I was leaving the fucking room! WAIT tilI come back in!'

ALSO when I complain about the hug hug hug kiss kiss kiss mwah... bullshit, he says 'can't I even kiss and hug my own WIFE now?' with THIS face > Confused

Sometimes men (husbands) think that their wives are possessions for them to order about and possess, and touch when they want. WE are here to remind them, that they are fucking wrong!

As has been said, it's a marking their territory/you belong to ME thing.

Did he do this before you married him? Because if so I don't know how you didn't walk out of the relationship rather than be saddled with an overgrown toddler forever.

And no, WE are not here to train them. They are fully grown humans who can control their own behaviour. It is not down to a wife to change it.
