Zig, I'd go for the goodbye hug - but you know me (I'm a recidivist pursuer!).
My H went OS for a week recently and I used the occasion to give him a hug and wsth him a good trip.
He responded well.
You never know how they'll react, but you might as well give it a go.
Might give him something to think about while he travels. Wack on your best perfume and sexiest dress, and go in for the nonchalant kiss/hug.
Be your full-on sensual self and be damned!
Trying to catch up on your sitch, Zig. Didn't you say on another thread that he was going off with OW this weekend?? If that's the case, I DEFINITELY wouldn't give him a hug or a kiss or a friendly smack on the butt!!! But I do like the sexy new dress/new cologne/new hairdo idea. Let him wonder all weekend what YOU are up to!!!
