Is it normal not to kiss in a relationship?

[Lolabray]

As I am going over my recent past relationship. We were together a few years: during that time I only got a peck on the lips unless we were in the bedroom when he would want a snog.

I can’t remember if it is normal to kiss in a relationship after a few years? It totally put me off (i go to the dentist regularly before anyone says was it your breath lol)

When I questioned him on this he said ‘I’m not a kissy person’ to me if felt I was being pushed away well I did due to various reason s and had shut down emotionally

Certainly not. We've been together 30 years and always kiss hello and goodbye and goodnight. Occasionally snog as well - you're never too old for a snog 😁

I don't think there is any right or wrong about kissing. I must admit that I save the 'snogging' for before and during sex. A quick kiss hello or goodbye otherwise. After a few years even that might tail off.
If you required more 'affection' generally then maybe you just weren't compatible.

I agree.. kissing or a snot tailed off after a short period of time. To me a nice kiss keeps you connected

*snog not snot lol

I don't French kiss my partner unless we're having sex. We might kiss goodbye or goodnight sometimes but having a snogging session as a stand alone activity is not very appealing to me!

It reminds me of being a teenager. We snogged for hours instead of having sex.

I can’t kiss my husband because he absolutely refuses to ever go to the dentist. He has terrible breath as a result. Probably been that way about 10 years now since we kissed. (Can’t say anything to him because he’s so easily offended and it always causes problems!) We have been together a long time but we were definitely still kissing after a few years! I really, really miss it. It makes me very sad knowing I’ll never kiss anyone again. Don’t think many people have their “last kiss” when they are 30.

Speak to your DP, don’t let this happen to you!

@SteveArnottsWaistcoat we have already broken up due to a lot of different reasons and issues not being resolved
