My husband keeps touching my full face...WTF

226 replies

Thankgodforwine · 15/02/2025 23:26

My husband randomly runs his hand down the front of my entire face.....he knows it annoys the fuck out of me ...but he keeps doing it. When I voice my annoyance/rage, he makes it out as if it's "me"problem.
He is a great guy and dad....amazing husband and provider but ...WTF, is it me or is this normal. For context and to avoid drip feeding, I'm not a fan of human contact...like hugging etc ...some may say I'm awkward...but a hand to the full face ...surely nobody likes this, also his hands are sweaty as fuck, no joke ...these hands are damp. Am I being unreasonable, please say I am not 🤣

Well may be you need to appreciate him more. What if he cheated on you and stroked another womans face and she liked it?

Then he would be a cunt for cheating on her 🤷🏻

Lavenderfarmcottage · 16/02/2025 01:48

Fart in his face when he’s lying down.

Sorry OP but I do wonder what your idea of “great” is.

I feel like this is a power move, like two dogs pulling rank. Find it hard to believe he truly respects what you want and it seems like he’s testing your boundaries of passive aggressively getting back at you/communicating annoyance on something.

He already is by the sound of it...

If he does it again go in the offence. Spent the next 12h running your hands randomly over his face. Doing his teeth; just walk past and drag your hand across his face, ideally from the chin up and get some tooth paste goop in his nostril.
Prepping food, just quickly give his face a quick stroke. If he isn't enjoying the random face stroking you can mutually agree to not do this to each other anymore.

Yank his armpit hair.

Brilliant.

Oh. Actually do this. This is the best idea.

Petuniaspetal · 16/02/2025 05:49

The it makes me wonder what else he does. I look back on my ex and collectively it was abusive disrespect, and if I knew then what I know now I would have been out of there alot sooner.

discdiscsnap · 15/02/2025 23:46

I would hate that. Do something equally irritating back . Like ruffle his hair or rub his ear

Or swiftly lift your knee hard up into his crotch!

TicklishReader · 16/02/2025 06:05

@Thankgodforwine Ugh, I knew it was something to do with Face-Off. My boyfriend did this when we were 15.

Next time he does it tell him he is being more Castor Troy than Sean Archer by not listening to you. Then swiftly knee him in the balls.

BCBird · 16/02/2025 06:31

Stick ur wet tongue out, he will no doubt remove his hand. This doesn't explain why he is doing it nor showing u no respect.

FancyNewt · 16/02/2025 06:31

If he does it again tell him it's not in abuse territory. He seems to think it's funny but it's not .

Thankgodforwine · 15/02/2025 23:50

I told him today if he done it again he was getting a punch to the balls ....he done it again a couple of hours later ...it's so weird. Obvs didn't punch him in the balls because I'm not evil lol

I don't think I'm evil. I WOULD knee him hard in the jewels. Very hard

What a fucking tosser he is

So disrespectful and unkind

oakleaffy · 16/02/2025 06:42

JaneFoe · 15/02/2025 23:47

Nostril hair works too.

Yank his penis like a bell rope.

SugarPlumpFairyCakes · 16/02/2025 06:45

What if it's not the end though? Will it be lots more lols?

Yoheresthestory · 16/02/2025 06:49

Lick his hand every time. Gross for you but I’d say he’d stop.

Newfoundzestforlife · 16/02/2025 06:57

You've told him you don't like it and he still does it! If he's got a beard or a moustache pull it every time he does it.

Theuniversalshere1 · 16/02/2025 06:59

Yougetmoreofwhatyoufocuson · 15/02/2025 23:40

He knows you don’t like and yet he still does it. Are there other things he does that you have said you don’t like?
Personally I would find that akin to assault.

Exactly, it's cruel and a form of abuse. Wonder what else goes on in their relationship if he does this.

How bizzare.

OriginalHulaHoops · 16/02/2025 07:11

Dirty, disrespectful sod. Does he wash his hands after he goes to the toilet? Does he do food prep? Does he handle raw meat?

BellesAndGraces · 16/02/2025 07:16

Why do you keep adding “lol” and laughing emojis to your posts? This is not remotely funny. If this is how you raise it with him I can see why he might be confused because your words say one thing while your “lols” indicate something else.

My DH repeatedly touches me in a way I hate and won’t stop even though I have told him lol 😂. Does that sentence not look odd to you?

missdeamenor · 16/02/2025 07:18

tillyandmilly · 15/02/2025 23:44

I would slap his face!

Maybe knee him in the nuts as well.

passiveaggressivenonsense · 16/02/2025 07:29

Unless he's registered blind it's not ok if you've said you don't like it. Spit on his hand next time he does it.

BlueSilverCats · 16/02/2025 07:38

I threaten to lick OH when he's being annoying. I actually did it once too. Now I just have to threaten. Grin

curious79 · 16/02/2025 07:39

I would bite him hard …. Very hard
