Would this bother you?

Fairly new relationship

Party at friends, all a few to drink, new partner kisses hostess on the lips when we leave. Not a snog, just a firm kiss on the lips.

He says it is nothing in it, meant by it, me I went ballistic.

Am I over reacting?

How would you feel?

Yep it would bother me. I wouldn't do it and I wouldn't expect dp to do it. It would bother him if I did it certainly.

Yanbu, it's weird. I don't know anyone in RL who kisses friends on the lips.

Flybye · 22/08/2017 20:42

I wouldn't like it either. Ask your bf if he would kind if you kissed other men like that?

Flybye · 22/08/2017 20:43

Like it

I would hate it if my friends kissed me on the lips.

Very odd imo...

TheNaze73 · 22/08/2017 21:51

Your reaction would have been a red flag to me

Dappledsunlight · 22/08/2017 22:00

I would not like it.

Temprmint · 22/08/2017 22:06

I would not be attracted to someone who did this. It would put me off.

Thank you for all of your messages, it seems that opinion is split, though some of you think like I do that it is inappropriate.

We have had a long talk about it since the party and he explained that all of his family have always done it. I said that I found it too personal. He has apologised profusely and said he won't do it again.

I will trust him on this until proved differently ......

Thanks for helping me put things into perspective.

Play it by ear OP. 👍

I wouldn't be happy with this. I had a boyfriend like this one, also used to kiss a male friend on the lips, when it happened with a female comedienne at a wedding party who he twirled tongues with for a photo that was the end of the story.

SuzukiLi · 23/08/2017 17:40

All is my friends and family kiss each other on the lips!

apoolofprettypetals · 23/08/2017 17:42

I too would go ballistic!

pumpkinmoon1 · 23/08/2017 17:42

Sorry I actually read it as hostess as in someone employed at the party. Was this the case or was it a family member?

PsychedelicSheep · 23/08/2017 17:50

Hostess just means lady who threw the party surely Confused
Nothing to do with staff
