I make the same joke. The truth is, if you've been married as long as you or I have, there have been some hard times, maybe some terrible losses, and most all of us carry around a lot of pain. But if you've gone through that together with your spouse, it's like you're welded together after that. None of the usual stupid stuff that breaks up marriages comes close to what you've been through.

barndg00I'm guessing I'll be in the minority here, though only due to my Job circumstances/hours. I work all kinds of crazy shifts - days, evenings, nights, weekends, holidays. The ER is a 24/7/365 business. So there will be times that I crawl into bed just before she gets up, and leave before she gets home. I have (rarely) gone an entire week without us being awake and in the house together. So there are times when my wife does not get a hug or kiss from me. But I love her dearly, and she understands. We miss each other when we cannot be around each other, but have muddled through this lifestyle for the past 16 years. Just like with holidays, we celebrate when we can be together. So when I am off, and we are together, hugs and kisses are frequent, in fact, my daughter sometimes gets jealous, though she is 5.

NuclearAt least a couple times a day when we are physically together (her work has her traveling a lot), once first thing in the morning, again at night before we go to bed, and whenever I can catch her, to echo another poster.

Tell her that. (gently

) Being turned off by a behavior is not good for either of you plus you want her healthy too!

If it won't matter in 5 years don't give it more than 5 minutes.

Make an effort to give several hugs right after she bathes dropping off in frequency & intensity as the smoking smell builds.
Maybe she will get the hint.
Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking.

Todd HuffmanMy wife is generally a touch-me-not kind of person, but I still grab her and hug her when I get home from work in the evenings. I pat her on the ass when she walks by every chance I get too.
We've been married 11 years and together 13 years.

45_AutoUmmm...never. I don't have a wife

vinnybassWhenever leaving or returning home at the least. Probably 3-5 times a day.

XLTI usually just grope her when we pass in the hallway, she returns the same.

Jimbo54Neither of us are serial huggers, but we get in one or two a day, but I do pat her on the butt a few more times as well. I'm kinky that way, at least that is what she says.

Ironmike57I hug my wife at least 2 times every day. Today, she will get more. Today is our 24th anniversary.

gpbst3Hugs, not so much.
Minimum is kiss in the morning before we leave. Kiss when we get home and kiss before bed.
August 21, 2017, 11:59 AM
DraalTo be honest, I'm lucky if we hug once a week. Kissing? Been quite a while. Sex? Don't go there man.
You could say after 20 plus years we're fairly cold as ice. I try but the engine ain't turning over.
Yeah, yeah too much information. Congrats to the lucky ones.

bigwagonNot enough.

ArtieSAs often as I can catch her.

ensigmaticNever counted. Hugs or kisses a couple times a day, I guess? More? Every night before going to sleep. Often in the morning when we wake up. Any time either of us is leaving the house, and again when they return. Sometimes just for the hell of it and I want to tell her I love her and she's best best damn wife in the whole wide world.

Mr. Peteronimanseveral hugs a day, but it's just so I can grab her butt (fell in love with that booty and 25 years later, still n love with it)

DbltapMines a love sponge. She loves as much hugs, kisses, nuzzling, rubbing, stroking and massaging
as I can give. And I'm all in after 25 yrs for the beautiful long blonde hair and the incredibley toned, lean & athletic body that has barely changed. Blessed, truly I am.
