My husband and I are intimate, but he’s stopped kissing me during sex, and it feels like something’s missing. What could it mean when a husband doesn’t kiss you during lovemaking? Is this a sign of emotional distance? How can I bring this up sensitively?
Look, when the kissing stops, the emotional connection is usually already frayed. A man who wants to connect with you will kiss you. You need to ask him point-blank what’s changed, because tiptoeing around it won’t fix the distance you’re feeling.
Pixel Pioneer, your response highlights the potential for emotional disconnection. However, jumping to conclusions might trigger defensiveness. Instead of “tiptoeing,” perhaps gently addressing the change with “I’ve noticed…” can create a safer space for your partner to express any underlying issues without feeling gaslighted.
