how do I ask him NOT to fondle me in the kitchen, without causing offence

[Easy]

DH and I have been together 13 years now, still in love, still reasonably 'active in the bedroom', like kissing with tongues (saw other thread) and miss each other like mad since dh has started working away Mon-Fri.

BUT, over the last few months he's developed the habit of coming up behind me when I'm working in the kitchen, and fondling my bum or boobs etc. I know it's a sign of affection (and that he still fancies me), but it does irritate me a bit, when I'm trying to cook, or have the dishcloth in my hand. I don't want to offend (esp as he's only here 2 nights a week ATM, what would you say?

hilarious thread, im pissing myself at sum of the posts! Easy, u r a lucky bugger, i would ditch the cooking and go at it like rabbits! order a take away, and get a cleaner. Problem solved!

Nope! England were the only people scoring in my house last night.
Hmmmppppppppfffffff

LadyBerry, thank you, at least now I know it applies both ways.

Amelie, I do appreciate the fact that he fancies me, but you can't just 'go for it' in the kitchen when there is a 6 year-old demanding his next meal, believe me.

I'm not offended by dh's advances at all, just want a way to direct them to more appropriate times/places.

I also do not mind suitably romantic advances (wine, expensive dark chocolate, nice meals out, all spring to mind). what bugs me is that if I am doing housework or cooking it's often because DP has NOT done it - so it's adding insult to injury that he seems to feel at leisure to be thinking of sex when IN MY OPINION he should be doing the housework himself while I lounge on the sofa enjoying a glass of wine and fantasising about groping HIM. that would be more sexy, IMO.

Yes!! This is exactly my problem too - so not sexy when you are trying to fry onions, dry up and listen to ds reading all at the same time and dh starts groping.

my biggest bugbear is dh sticking his hand down my jeans in the middle of a conversation about the boiler or whatever to check what sort of knickers I'm wearing. GGGRRRRRR!!!

I do regularly tell DP how Extremely Sexy it is to come home to a tidy house with washing done, dinner cooked, kitchen cleaned etc. haven't totally won him over with this approach but am persevering.
(have only been working at this for 11 years so far with minimal success)

Dang, shimmy. Glad your husband isn't married to me, b/c I'd give ANY person who stuck his hand down my trousers a real piece of my mind! That's SO unsexy.

I can't deal w/horndogs. I really can't. Before I met DH, I broke up w/several men b/c they were just too horndoggy and didn't seem to understand that I didn't find it attractive or sexy at all.

why on earth does he wonder about what knickers you are wearing, in the middle of a household conversation? And why does he have to find out at that precise second?

my point to him exactly. He tells me Im lucky he cares!

My DH loves this thread...

Uh, right, shimmy, and I honestly hope you don't believe him. B/c that's b(*&ocks. There are PLENTY of classy blokes out there who don't feel the need to shove their hands down someone's trousers in the middle of a conversation about boilers or in front of their kids.

TBH if I had a man do that to me AFTER I told him how much it irritated me, he wouldn't be seeing my knickers for a long, long while, to say the least.

If I hadn't started this thread, my dh would love it too. As it is of course, I haven't mentioned it to him yet.

I have to say that, in terms of responses, this is the most successful thread I've ever started.

You get me wrong expat -we never indulge in converstaions about the boier in front of the kids.

or the boiler either

PMSL shimmy his thinking derives from one old boiler to another thats why

This thread is hilarious!!!!! i personally love it when dp grabs me, the only things that piss me off is that i didn't do it to him first and that he doesn't do it enough. God we sound like animels LOL have pmsl nat some of the posts here
