Re: Wife kissing Ex
by peterd

It's funny how many letters to advice columnists follow the basic format: "Someone is doing X and it bothers me. How do I get them to stop doing X?" Often, the advice is to tell the person they need to stop doing X, but in many cases (such as this one) the better answer should be "stop letting X bother you." The problem isn't that the wife kisses the guy, the problem is a jealous controlling husband. He should ask himself why he wants to stop his wife from doing something she likes.



Some people kiss hello and goodbye, some people don't. I know plenty of both types. For the ones who kiss, it's just an extra-friendly way of greeting, a momentary innocent bit of happiness. In my experience it *never* means "we're going to sleep together now", and it's sad to see that too many people here seem to interpret it that way.
