Do your husband kiss, hug, or tell you see later you before going to work?

Question

I was wondering if a hug or kiss is too much to ask for when your husband is leaving the house everyday for work and a hello when coming in from work.

Answer 1

I was raised in a household where kisses and hugs are A MUST when leaving or returning home. You never know what could happen. And always tell the other one, I LOVE YOU! No, it's not too much to ask, but you shouldn't have to ask! It should be natural to tell each other those things!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

We hug and kiss before my husband leaves for work, even though he is in a hurry sometimes. I'd stay near the front window and wave until he turns the street corner. When he comes back, I'd go to the door to greet him with kisses. We've been together 8 years.
I don't think it's too much to ask for, but I wonder why your husband doesn't do it on his own? If he is not doing it and you'd like the two of you to start a new ritual, talk to him about it. Tell him it would make you feel happy and you think he will feel better too. But if he's really not up to it, don't force it. The last thing you want is for him to do it out of duty. Good Luck!

Answer 3

You never know what can happen at any given moment. Therefore, you both should express your love and feelings for eachother before every departure. I have never told any one this but........a young lady I was dating years ago had an arguement with me before she returned to college (250 miles away) we parted on angry feelings but really loved eachother. this was the last time we ever spoke, because she was in an automobile accident that evening and killed. It was a hard lesson in life and i lived with guilt for many years. :( I have once again found love and am married very happily:) I give my wife a hug and kiss and tell her I love her all the time, even if I am only going to the neighbors. Some times I dont say anything when i come home from work, but that is my time. I dont love her any less, I usually just need a few minutes to gather my thoughts after a long day. I hope this helps you and your mate.

Answer 4

Before my husband goes to work he comes in, hugs, kisses and says he loves me before he leaves. Once he is at work he sends me a message saying "I'm here. I love you. Good night baby"

I don't think it is too much to ask for a kiss and hug or even hello when he comes home from work.

Answer 5

my husband leaves for work at 4 am, so I'm still asleep, but if he goes anywhere else on a day off or something, he kisses me and tells me he loves me before he leaves, and always at least says hello when he gets home. I'm not sure why your husband doesn't, but i don't think that's too much to ask.

Answer 6

My husband kisses me good bye whenever he leaves the house. The first thing he does when he walks in is gives me a kiss and asks how my day was. I know everyone's different, but no I don't think it's too much to ask.

Answer 7

I wake up my husband every morning, before I go to work, & kiss him, tell him I love him & have a good day. But that is us. Let your husband know that you would like that kind of affection, & then focus on doing something small for him. My husband & I never get up from watch'n tv w/o asking if the other one needs something (like a drink of water). It's the little things that matter. Don't demand something, but let him know why it is important to you.

Answer 8

My husband always kisses me goodbye and tells me he loves me whether he's the one going out or I am. We always kiss and hug when one of us comes back in too. It's not too much to ask. However, there are people who were not raised to be like that and it's hard for them to start doing it. You initiate it and see what happens.

Answer 9

It's not to much to ask, but some people do have a tough time of showing emotions, perhaps this is your husband's case. My husband gives hugs, kisses and his love to each of us (myself and our three kids) before he leaves each morning. He calls at least once during the day and I greet him at the door to take his lunch cooler and thermos and get a kiss and he'll normally acknowledge the kids by ruffling their hair.

Answer 10

Have your husband's attitudes toward displays of affection changed? That question is the key. If he used to be huggy/kissy, or more attentive, and has sinced become distant, it could be a sign of a problem. He may just be preoccupied with some nagging situation, and it will resolve itself. Maybe he is exhausted. (I have gone through times in my life, where it took every last bit of energy I had just to keep going to work day after day. I never wanted to be distant, I just didn't have any more in me.) Maybe he feels your relationship is lacking something it used to have,, that's up to you to find out, and work with him to fix. If however, he never was open to displays of affection, then that's simply the way he is, it's not personal, and remember, he was like that when you chose him to be your husband. If you try to force him into expressing emotions he doesn't have, he'll feel nagged. If this is the case, try to remember that you're the woman he picked to be his wife, and he loves you in the best way he can. Good luck to you.
