Do you leave with a kiss?

When you leave your loved one for any time do you leave with a kiss or is it just a shout of goodbye at the door. I have never parted from my wife without giving her a kiss goodbye before leaving, no matter if I was just popping down the shops or leaving for the week-end. One never knows what might happen and if it happened to your other half I think you would never forgive yourself. How about you?

Yeah everytime that my fiance and i get together and we live together, i always kiss her.. I love kissing her coz she's so sweet. I do miss her a lot in such instances like this, like everyday, everynight coz we're far from each other now, she's in another country working and same with me here.. Really hard..

i never leave to go somewhere without kissing my boy. and even sometimes a hug. when im leaving my parents place to go back home i give them a hug n kiss as well, my parents have always done this when their kids go somewhere. and my bf always kisses me even if he just going down the road. i would hate myself if i didnt give him a kiss and something happened to me or him and couldnt give 1 last kiss

Hello there Sir. I completely agree and couldn't have put it better myself. I always give my husband a kiss whenever he leaves the house, no matter where he's going. As you so rightly say, if something happened you would never forgive yourself. Also, we never go to bed on an argument! We always make up or resolve the issue before bedtime! lol

Hi 'feralwoman'. I guess the best part of an argument is the making up afterwards....!! Making up lasts longer than the argument with us two 'old fogies'!!

Before leaving, on returning, passing anywhere in the house - who needs a reason? Yes, of course. Isn't that what married couples do? It is what we do - always have, always will.

Hugs and kisses are a major theme in my household and I couldn't imagine it any other way. Why would I just shout goodbye? It's a cold and distant way of treating loved ones, and aside from that, anything could happen that may make you wish you'd stopped to tell them that you love them, or that you gave them that one hug, or that one little kiss that would have taken less than a minute of your time. I hug and kiss my partner when he goes to work, when he comes in from work, numerous times after that "just because" and again before he goes to bed. Same with my kids when they leave for school in the morning and before bed, not to mention all the times in between. It just something that comes naturally.

Yeah. My husband and I always see to it that we kiss and say i love you to each other (and to our son) if anyone of us leaves the house coz just like you said, you'll never know what's gonna happen. And sometimes even if we just cross path in the kitchen we give each other a kiss.. :)

If you cannot kiss a touch will do just so long as its from that 'special one'!

Most of the time, Unless I am really mad at my husband. I think it's real important too. Mostly I just want my husband to know I love him every second of the day and remind him of what he gets to come home to.

Always with a kiss. It doesn't matter which of us is leaving we always give the other a kiss before going. Sometimes even when we are just leaving the room to go do something else we will take the time to kiss the other. It is the same with the kids, always give them a kiss before they leave for school in the morning and a kiss goodnight and tell them that I love them every night.

We kiss often. We kiss each other good morning most of the time, when he leaves for work and when he comes home, we even kiss each other good night. We know our time is valuable because he is very frequently gone because he is in the army. So we take advantage of the time we are together. It is something a lot of couples take for granted!

So when he goes away from home on his army duties he is away for a long period of time? I feel proud of the young men guarding us from the dangers of this world. Although I should not say it.....but give him an extra kiss from me....!! Thanks my friend.

It depends really with whom i am parting with. If i'm leaving the house and my sisters are home, i make it a point to say good-bye with a hug and kiss. If it's my mother, i just give her a kiss. My dad's usually out by the time i wake up. I see him at night. Sometimes i greet him with a kiss when he comes home. Other times, i just say "hi" or "hey, dad". When it comes to my brothers, i either leave them with a kiss or call them by the affectionate nicknames i've given them. Everyone in my family has an affectionate nicknames, (which we sometimes use to tease them in a loving kind of way). Call it weird. But that's my family's thing. If it's my favourite aunt and cousin visiting from Germany, i leave them with a BIG hug and a kiss. If i'm leaving my long-distance boyfriend, well, that's private. I always try to make sure that even if i don't get to spend so much time with my loved ones, i let them know that i care in the small things i do. Little things like making green tea for my parents, massaging my 2 sisters' feet, grocery shopping with my older brother and going out to a disco with my younger brother lets them know that i care for them.

A very interesting account 'Artist'. I must say that you have a very close family and I do like family nicknames. I have had one since I was 8 years old. Thanks for your post

Yes, I do. Even if I'm all grown up, I still kiss my mom and dad goodbye, and also my daughter. I never miss that habit that has somehow rubbed off my daughter too. She's the sweetest thing who gives out a lot of hugs and kisses to everyone :)

yes, i leave with a parting kiss when they are my family. My other friends have different personality, some of them kiss me when we are parting, so i kiss them goodbye. some of them just said goodbye and wayed so i do the same. I think it will depends on how i am close to that person and how they meant to me.

Hello there ,well i'm just 19 and so I don't have a loved one but I totally agree with you, i.e. you should always keep on expressing your love to all the people who are of due importance in your life, especially your wife and children and the best way of expressing your feelings is by a kiss. Not only because of you don't know what is going to happen to you next but also to make the other person happy that there is some one in the world who cares about him/her and loves a lot simultaneously. No one can live alone ,we all need each other in in between if we spread some love its like applying a lubricant to your machines.

That is quite profound 'mavone' and I thoroughly agree with you.
