Do you ever go for weeks without kissing? By kissing I mean real kissing, not a quick goodbye peck each morning before work Grin Have been with dp for 6ish years and last night we kissed like the 'old' days and it was fantastic. The man that I feel comfy with, who drives me mad at times, who I know inside out, literally made me go weak at the knees Wink I feel sad that life bogs us down and kissing is very far down our list of things that need to be done. Just wondering if anyone feels like this?

Not weeks - kissing is part of DTD surely? Confused If you mean just snogging for the sake of snogging then yes, sometimes it can be a while between snogs.

Ragwort · 28/09/2014 14:57

Errrrr yes, we can go weeks without DTD Grin - married over 26 years and I would happily settle for a celibate relationship, DH has other ideas though Grin.

cosmicboy · 28/09/2014 14:59

No we definitely dtd which does involve a bit of kissing but nothing prolonged like in the heady days of a new relationship. If that makes sense?!

I think so...! Yes, long bouts of snogging don't really feature so much in our relationship any more (20 years marriage). With 2 teens who are up and about 'til all hours, and one 7 year old who's up at silly o'clock we grab what we can, when we can, as quickly as we can Grin

FelicityGubbins · 28/09/2014 15:05

DH has a busted up snuffly nose so long snogging sessions are out of the question, unless I want to commit the perfect murder! Grin

AdinaRitz · 28/09/2014 15:08

Sadly yes. Been together 6 years. We had one proper kiss in the last 3 years and that was when DTD. The love is still there, but not the passion.

kaykayblue · 28/09/2014 16:08

No. I would find it very strange.

Then again, we don't have kids yet.

Oh years without kissing.

BolshierAyraStark · 28/09/2014 18:41

No sorry, been together 16 years & we kiss everyday, DH is not the most affectionate but this is one way for us to connect.
Only time we don't is if he's pissed me off or vice versa...

Hurr1cane · 28/09/2014 18:58

We kiss like that when DTD or when I'm really drunk and go in for a snog. But we can go weeks without DTD. We certainly go at least one week (fertile week) we use protection but I like having that little extra precaution there because another baby would be very bad news.

We used to sit and kiss all day but we just can't be arsed anymore. I love him and he knows that.

Joysmum · 28/09/2014 19:22

I'm more of a hugger than a kisser. Kissing, not so much of the full on snogging but always hugging, holding hands, looking into each other's eyes and smiling.

CheesyBadger · 28/09/2014 19:36

Dp needs some improvements in the kidding department. Glossed over when we first got together and kissed all the time. Sometimes I want a passionate kiss without so much tongue and open mouth stuff. Or for there to be a build up. So no, dtd and kiss then but he seems to have nothing in between peck on lips and full on too much

IrnBruTheNoo · 29/09/2014 17:50

I noticed this the other day that DH and I hardly kiss for the sake of kissing. It happens during sex but even then we don't DTD that often so it's not a regular thing. It's sad when I read this now :(

cosmicboy · 29/09/2014 21:50

Mixed responses then! It may sound silly but we are very particular about being minty fresh, not always practical Grin Still, I'm going to make more effort, it's not like I don't enjoy it!

DP and I love a good snog. Only been together 16 months though, see how we are in 5 years Grin

SirChenjin · 30/09/2014 09:25

Exactly! 16 months does not constitute "long or longish relationships" as per the OP Grin

lookingforsunshine · 30/09/2014 10:13

We can go a few weeks without a proper long kiss. Need to change that! :-)
