Greyman 25,495 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Don't bother me if that's your bag go for it, but I,m on the side of firm hand shake and eye contact, says something about someone before you get to know them, were as a wet cheek don't give you much of an insight into someone Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mushroom 12,413 Posted August 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 It's a really uncomfortable topic for me, it's weird. I've come to accept it here but I wouldn't do it in Blighty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stumfelter 3,032 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 I kiss the Mrs and that's it, my family have never been keen on physical contact and it's just how we've always been. My Mrs family are very huggy kissy and sometimes it makes me feel uncomfortable. Another thing I hate is a limp handshake on a man, some blokes have weak, wet handshakes and it makes me cringe. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kay 3,709 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 My old man hugged & gave my ex a back slap when the lad was born but he wouldn't' greet the neighbour like that , I guess it depends what kind of family your from..... Mine tended not to kiss & hug as I was growing up so when I met my first proper boyfriend & his family where very '' huggy'' I struggled with that to be honest 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,399 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 Same here new relations give us a hug when we part company and im uncomfortable im bolting for the car only the wife and kids get a hug only the wife gets a kiss then it wtf are you wanting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,324 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 My kids are 7 + 5 and they get cuddles and cwtch up watching films . Always get a kiss and cuddle from them before bed and I always go in their room on my way to bed to check on them . I had a stupid fear when they were young that id go to sleep and not wake up and not to have seen them before I went. Stupid really as I never really contemplate my own death lol . Usually send Mrs a txt during the day saying "love you" . Sounds romantic but im really just doing a spot check to see if she's pissed off with me about anything. Nothing from my old man , wouldn't want it either really. Get those kissed cheeks from mother in law because she's lived I spain for a while . 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
