My Husband is uncomfortable with kisses on the bottom!

So glad you haven't got a problem!

Haha love the thread title..LOOK how quickly so many people read it... xx

I tend to only use kisses on cards, emails etc for very close family. However lots of my female friends scatter them liberally so Ive started putting one modest x in reply in case they think I'm cold or unfriendly . I think its a bit juvenile to be honest . DH would never put kisses on an email though he does on birthday cards to GC only!!! (Oh, and to me!)

I love kisses on the bottom from family and close friends. I do have to be a bit careful with builders, etc., because it becomes a habit.
When not texting I like a kiss on one cheek only, not keen on both cheeks.

I like a few kisses on the bottom but only when I'm fresh out of the bath/shower.
Seriously, I really don't like female friends putting kisses in messages. Men, unless I've known them for years or they're family, tend not to do it.
Funnily enough, years ago when I joined a dating site, one man used to sprinkle them, like confetti, throughout texts or messages online until I strongly suggested he stop. He confessed to having the habit no matter who he text, even his friends....

I'm with your husband 100 per cent. These 'kisses'. are so automatic and random that they become as insincere as the 'love you' now being used as a sign off replacing 'bye on the telephone. Make me shudder and they so diminish the real thing. VERY clever headline! Thanks.

He could put 'Roger' or 'Copy' but even those words might have undesirable connotations.
Perhaps he could put XXXXXXXXX olus ??❤❤ in the hopes that it will put the sender of the message off.

I never put kisses except in cards to my DGC. I was also brought up not to do it and see no reason to change for texts.

My daughter once took me to task for never ending my texts to her with a x; since then I try to remember to end family texts with one, but I do often forget. I do sometimes put one at the end of an email to friends and family, but I always have to actually think about it.
Having deliberately ignored this thread thinking it was a bit iffy I clicked on it accidentally and then laughed out loud when I saw the OP.

Another kisser here, particularly as my children always put one or more in their texts to me, so obviously I reciprocate and always with husband, not that we text each other a lot. With one of my oldest friends when we text to arrange our next "ladies that lunch" meetup our texts invariably include kisses at the end of texts. However, another very close friend never does that so when I respond I don't either although we both use emojis.

??? but only to my nearest and dearest.

I have a scale for xx's on the end of texts:

x - for friends and family
xx - for close friends and family
xxx - for VERY close friends and family

I only do it with close friends and family, I did it by accident to a committee member (male) recently and immediately sent another email to apologise!
Anyway, a kiss on the bottom is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick!

Love the title of thread! But I’m with Liz’s husband, Grandma70s and Esspee. In our family we never do it and I haven’t since writing letters as a child. If I get a text with xx I don’t put one in my reply. I’ve a friend obsessed with cats who always does it, like Cherrytree’s cattery lady.

I find it impossible not to add 2 kisses in the bottom of anything I write/type and quite often have to remove them from posts!

I'm with you Grandma70s. Not the done thing at all.
Only acceptable from primary age children in my opinion.

I like a few kisses on the bottom xxx my DH always ends a phone conversation with me or one of the family with “ bye, lots of love” , he occasionally forgets who he’s speaking to and says “bye, lots of love” to the builder or plumber and doesn’t realise he’s done it!

I was taught from the moment I could write that putting kisses in letters, cards etc was Not Done. I still never do it. Some of my friends and one of my sons sprinkle them around liberally in texts and emails, and I’ve become used to it.

(I felt slightly furtive looking at this thread until I realised what it was about!)

I'd be happy to get any kisses on the bottom!
Kisses from from/to friends and family are fine but I draw the line when messaging my accountant or electrician - they may get the wrong message

I always put an x to family members and close friends, but I wouldn't to anyone else.

If I'm writing a birthday card to a male relative or friend I make sure to put xx under my name and not under that of DH!

Petra, yes that’s the one. He did pick of the pops for donkeys years. He often used to refer to ‘kisses on the bottom’!

Made me chuckle too. It's a personal thing but harmless.
Each to their own, I like kisses on the bottom.
