Dear Abby: Unwanted slobbery kisses from brotherinlaw
Dec 18, 2024
DEAR ABBY: I have a brother-in-law who, when he gives a hello or goodbye hug, wants to give a kiss on the lips. My wife doesn’t want the kiss and turns her head away. He then proceeds to kiss her on the cheek, which she doesn’t want either, especially when it’s an open-mouth slobber. He does this with other sisters-in-law, and most of them turn their heads when he comes running with the pucker. How can we approach this situation without hurting his feelings or embarrassing him? -- SMOOCHED IN WISCONSIN
