Seems like a lot of new posters....Anyhow, H and I are still living apart. Still doing things together, going to resturants, having sex and he stays a few nights a week. All was going along just fine.

UNTIL last night. I was getting ready o go to bed and gave him a hug goodnight. He hugged back tight and I kissed him on his forehead. I finally said, "Why don't you ever kiss me back?" He didn't answer. After 3 times, he finally said, "I don't like to do that." Too odd, we was a huge huge kisser.

I didn't cry and still have not cried. Cannot explain it. His comment hit my heart in a way that maybe I needed it to.

wow...

So... did you just decide to ask him that, or is this something that's started happening, recently? The him not kissing back thing...

Have the two of you been acting as if you are not married and just dating?

I hear you ask that things were going along fine, but was it becoming "same old"?

As awkward as that moment might have been when you asked, what's the likelihood that maybe things can be "spiced up a notch"?

I'm just trying to figure out why you feel he's not kissing back when he used to, or you felt he used to...

Who knows why any of them do what they do. I doubt they know half the time. He!! sometimes I don’t know.

For me kissing is an intensely personal thing. It connects me. I read somewhere it makes some people feel vulnerable, especially the kisses we wish we were exchanging with our respective spouses. I know it is speculation, but perhaps he cannot open himself up enough right now.

Sorry you felt the need to post again, but it is nice to know you felt comfortable enough to.

Do not underestimate how much many men can separate sex from emotion.

I'm not sure many women really understand this.

Just something for you to be aware of.

VS2D,

Not kissing your spouse is a huge warning sign (moreso with women than with men, but ...). Is he back in contact with OW?
