Should I be annoyed?

Whilst flicking through a well know social media sight a post appeared on my feed,
BEST KISS EVER?
who gave it to you,
how old were you?
and why was it amazing?

I jokingly asked my partner for his answer for a bit of fun.

he replied ‘ no comment’
now taking into account his first 2 girl friends cheated on him,
his ex wife was a nasty and controlling ,
he did have an affair with a married lady who’s husband found out, then she unfortunately died of cancer.
am I being a cow to think he’s actually put these before me?
or am I over thinking this?

You asked a question and didn't get the fawning response you were hoping for 🤷🏻‍♀️

Alcemeg · 23/08/2023 20:36

He might have meant " obviously you"?!

Why not ask for clarification!

Daffodil18 · 23/08/2023 20:37

I mean even if he does have one that’s better than you, surely he would say you anyway just because he wouldn’t want to upset you.

My husband is FAR from the best kiss I've ever had!

AnneLovesGilbert · 23/08/2023 20:42

You weren’t joking were you. You expected him to say you and he didn’t engage. That’s quite the catalogue of tragedy in his past love life, he’s not up for silly game playing, fair enough.

purplebluediscorain · 23/08/2023 20:43

Don’t ask a question if you don’t like honesty. It’s like asking if an ex was better in the bedroom than you are! You just wouldn’t do it.

GreyCarpet · 24/08/2023 07:23

Oh dear.

Why on earth would you assume that any of those factors mean any of those or any other woman couldn't have been his 'best kiss ever'?

I love my partner and I love kissing him but my best kiss ever was the complete stranger I snogged in a club when I was 37. I'd just left a sexless 11 year long relationship and that kiss just blew my mind and reminded me that I wasn't dead from the waist down after all 😁

Would you have preferred he lied to you to protect your ego?

Very arrogant of you to presume you're the best kiss he's ever had tbh.

yellowsmileyface · 24/08/2023 09:17

This is a really awkward and baity thing to send to a partner. Also quite childish. I don't blame him for refusing to engage with it.

Dery · 24/08/2023 09:24

I’m with the PP - I love DH to bits and he’s great in bed but kissing is not his particular forte and my best kissing was also done with someone else. This is not worth getting upset about.

Watchkeys · 24/08/2023 11:03

You think that if his best kiss wasn't you, he's putting all his exes before you?

Why? If your question was a joke, why are you taking his answer as a threat to your relationship?

There's some very skewed perspective, here.

Epidote · 24/08/2023 11:14

No, you should not be annoyed. On the contrary he was annoyed at that silly teenager game question and he responded pretty well btw with a "no comments".

There are no 'shoulds' though. If OP is annoyed, she's annoyed. It's like saying she shouldn't like peas or something. There is no 'correct'.

LakeTiticaca · 24/08/2023 11:31

He probably took the wisest route by not engaging in juvenile games that most people grow out of around the age of 16

heartofglass23 · 24/08/2023 11:33

Why would any of that affect how good a kisser they were?

UntidyFairy · 24/08/2023 11:34

You were jokingly asking and he may have been jokingly answering.
You wanted a serious answer and you wanted it to be you.

It's a really daft teenagery question and I probably wouldn't engage with it either.

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 24/08/2023 11:38

Why did you ask if anything other than "you darling of course" wasn't acceptable?

OhLookIveChangedMyNameAgain · 24/08/2023 11:38

I think his response was quite normal given it was an on the spot question.
Your reaction on the other hand is OTT - you’ve made a thread about it for goodness sake!
