Would you be ok or upset with a friend kissing your husband on the lips (closed mouth) as a greeting?

jesseandbri · January 2011

Ummm, no!

SunnyDaze31 · January 2011

Upset. IMHO, kissing on the mouth is reserved for romantic relationships. I also think parents and children kissing each other on the mouth is gross.

Steven&Jamie · January 2011

Not okay. At all.

Remember when we did hot topics all the time? I totally forgot about that!

Anyway... he!! no. We're both even a little uncomfortable with front hugs. I don't need my boobs pressing against another guy and I don't really want another chick's boobs pressing against my H. We're probably a little conservative in that way, but I don't care We side hug the opposite sex.

I'd be ok with it. I'd think it was odd, but a peck on the lips in a nonromantic fashion (think the way your weird great aunt kisses you on the lips) wouldn't bother me.

That's the thing though, where I come from family doesn't kiss on the lips. I would freak the fvck out of one of my relatives tried to kiss me on the lips. Thus, kissing on the lips = romantic relationship to me, not friendly.

I would not be OK with it. Between friends, that's weird. Between family, that's not something normal between my family.. but I don't think it's totally crazy. But yeah, if my friends did that, I would find it weird.

Speaking of this story- a couple weeks ago, my dad and I were saying goodbye after a family dinner. We have these weekly and he always kisses me on the cheek at the end of the night. For some reason, I turned my head too early and we pecked on the lips, like you do with your grandma or something. We both pulled away, gave each other a crazy look and he said "we dont do that...." . Hahaha I was like "NO we don't! AH" hahahaha hilarious. We're still laughing over it.

Sorry to post-jack. But yeah.. I think friend to friend is weird.

gingerfeathers · January 2011

Unless it's his mom or something.. yeah. Totally not okay.

Something similar happened with my dad and me. He turned to kiss my check as I turned to kiss his, and our lips ended up brushing. It was really awkward, but he was more weirded out than I was. We never kiss each other on the lips in my family.

Yeah, it may be a family thing. I can't imagine any of my friends actually doing this, but because some of my weird elderly relatives did, it seems less weird to me.

My Great Aunt Olive used to actually LICK her lips, then make us give her a big kiss on the mouth when we were kids. I'm still traumatized.

On second thought (and reflecting upon Aunt Olive) I think I may want to change my answer, not because of the romance factor, but just because of the ick factor. Ick!

Holy crap, if MIL and DH kissed on the lips I would vomit. Maybe my family and I are abnormal, but we just don't kiss each other. And I'm okay with that....

ShansBride · January 2011

not okay with me. We don't kiss on the lips in my family either. I do kiss my kids on the mouth (but don't like if my parents or someone else other than H tries to), but at some point, that will become inappropriate and will stop too.

tbvenable · January 2011

Not okay with me! In my family we don't even hug so kissing is out of the question. There is some of C's family that are huggers but I do the side hug. I do however have kiss my neice, nephews and cousins kids but its on the cheek no where close to the lips. Heck in my family we don't even say I love you; we are pretty cold people when it comes to affection. I do however kiss, hugs and say I love you to C everyday; since my family is cold affection wise I do want to have a relationship withy my child (when we have one) where I hug them, and tell them I love them everyday.

kayleeb · January 2011

I would be upset. That would just be weird!

My family is not very affectionate. DH's family on the other hand, is very affectionate. It was really, really strange at first. His mom is very affectionate towards DH and BIL. She'll hold their hands, and they kiss on the lips, and stuff like that. At first, I was just really surprised. Now, I don't really think much of it. Actually, it made me wish my family was as affectionate as his is.

OSUWifey09 · January 2011

That's a no. We don't kiss on the lips, either, and that's just awkward. I mean, we did when we were kids, but that stopped when I was like, 4. I'd flip out if I saw a friend giving H a kiss like that...would NOT be happy.

DITTO!

I do catch myself kissing LO on the lips but it is when we do "zerberts" to make her smile. My SK's used to with DH, thank goodness no more! I'm sorry but I don't want to kiss my DH after his snotty, runny nose kissed him..ick

fuzzylogic · January 2011

Well, H barely hugs people, so a kiss on the mouth would be very out of character. I think it would embarrass him. It's not in either of our natures to kiss anyone on the mouth except for us.

BoyMom21 · January 2011

We kiss B on the mouth all the time. It would weird me out if a woman kissed H on the lips. I kissed my dad on the lips (a peck goodbye) through middle school. It wasn't weird or awkward at all. Once I hit high school we didn't, but I am not sure why. I'll still kiss him on the cheek goodbye when I leave. H and my mom don't think it's weird. There's also nothing sexual about it at all.
