my dh never kisses me, everything else happens but he doesnt like kissing. its years since we had a proper snog. infact so long that i dont think id like to kiss him anyway!just because it would be weird. is this normal? or is it just us?

For us a snog of an evening when the kids are in bed is a lovely way to re-connect, especially when for some reason whe have not had sex for a while (3 kids, tired). We still sneak up on each other in the kitchen for a kiss and a cuddle, or wherever we are...eldest ds is like "yuck". So for us a kiss is important, but if you are both comfortable without it and are initmate in other ways, i am not sure it is a problem!

mylittlestar · 11/04/2007 09:34

agree, it depends if you're happy with it or not?

if it was me I don't think I'd be too happy tbh... I love a good long kiss!

mankyscotslass · 11/04/2007 09:36

mls me too

auntiflo · 11/04/2007 09:39

My DH has never liked snogging, will occasionly when drunk open mouth snog me but never with tongues!! We have sex twice a year, maximum and never kiss during it. I miss all that touchy feely stuff, he's such an uptight, impotent prude! I hate it.

mumto3girls · 11/04/2007 09:43

I guess your name means you are not hapy with it...?
Why doesn't your hubby like kissing?

mumto3girls · 11/04/2007 09:44

Auntiflo...has he always been like this...did you think he would change?

mankyscotslass · 11/04/2007 10:02

Thinking back, my first husband was like that about kissing, and also like yours in the rest on the initmacy departmant antiflo. Been with dh 9 years now, and the intimacy is really important to both of us. Think it does cos probs if one isnt happy or their feelings on it ignored/dismissed or not voiced

auntiflo · 11/04/2007 10:03

M23G
sex life was great till I concieved ds1, 4 months after meeting him!! So, guess he has always been like this but says he'll change and I live in hope. I couldn't leave for something as trivial as this surely? Miserable as I am!
Anyway, not my thread, sporry missingkissing, I do feel for you.

whywhywhy · 11/04/2007 10:04

anyone else's dh have really bad breath????

it's a passion killer

mankyscotslass · 11/04/2007 10:05

why...nope, would have had him at dentist pronto!

whywhywhy · 11/04/2007 10:07

maybe that's an idea!!

he insists he doesn't have it, however, and it's my imagination....

mumto3girls · 11/04/2007 10:17

Well, I don't think that having a DH/DP that doesn't want to b intimate with them is trivial. However nor would I advocate leaving someone witout trying to fix any problems first.

BUT you do only get one life...

mylittlestar · 11/04/2007 11:10

whywhywhy - I'd get him to the docs/dentist over the bad breath thing! nothing worse than that!!

if he won't admit it keep leaving mints, mouthwash, chewing gum etc all over the house until he gets the message

mk are you still around?

littlemissbitch · 11/04/2007 11:50

god i had neve thought about it before but i cant remember when i last snogged my husband, we have had problems recently but the sex life has still been fine but i dont think we even kiss a lot then, i usually get a peck on the cheek before he leaves the house but i think thats just a routine thing and not the same as a good long kiss.

at what point do you think that part of your relationship fizzles out, in my case without me even noticing.

i have to say though i find it really (dare i say it) disgusting when you see people over a certain age snogging each other. i always seem to get stuck behind the middle age couple in asda who wander around holding hand and kissing at the end of every aisle

motheroftwoboys · 12/04/2007 16:39

We don't kiss atm which means we don't have sex because, in our relationship, one always led to another. This is because my DH is a recovering alcoholic and he is smoking and I have a lifetime hatred and loathing of smoking so I find it a massive turn-off. I think he thinks I am rejecting him but I am so not!! I would love him to stop smoking and for us to have a sex life again but I realise that at his stage of recovering (about 18 months sober) it is prob too soon to think about stopping. Love him to bits. Hate the smoking. BTW We are 50 and still think nothing sexier than a good snog! Would hope that you never get too old! lol

Ifonlyhewould · 12/04/2007 17:14

Motherof2boys Well done to your DH on his 18months sober, thats fantastic!! Shame about the lack of snogging though, can't he swap smoking for eating boiled sweets?

littlemissbitch · 12/04/2007 17:20

motheroftwoboys lol i did not mean it to offend anyone, have to say my parents are a couple of years older than you and i think its lovely that they are still affectionate, i think its just the supermarket snoggers that really get to me

totally agree with the smoking bit though, thank god i dont have that problem.

skidaddle · 12/04/2007 18:00

whwhywhy, yes my dp has bad breath and I make him clean his teeth before we have sex (and therefore kiss!). I know that's mean but I just can't kiss him otherwise. he knows he has it and chews gum but it only works for a little while, think it runs in the family as his mum is the same.

Sorry to hijack, OP, in response to your question, we kiss much much less than we used to but still do sometimes. Think you just have to make yourself to it even if you don't feel like it because a marriage without kissing sounds very sad

Berrie · 12/04/2007 18:05

Bleurgh, no we don't, but then don't have sex either. Love him lots though! [smile}

Spagblog · 12/04/2007 18:08

Not very often these days...Apparently I smell of garlic
We only snog after brushing our teeth.
