Up to the time my Mom passed away, my parents always showed love and affection towards each other. They always held hands and hugged. A peck was about all I saw growing up. They were married 34 years when she died.

My husband and I were very affectionate before having kids….when our son was born, (8 years ago)…we were about 50% less affectionate b/c he was always with us…in between us (literally)…then when our daughter was born (3 years ago) our entire lives got turned upside down…very demanding…attention seeking….so our intimacy level dropped to maybe 10% of what it used to be….when we want a night alone…we ship them off to grandma’s house for the evening…it’s the only way…we just had this discussion last night!! How we used to be all over one another….now we need to pick our times…lol….they won’t be little forever….parents/couples just need to keep the flame going….even just a flicker to keep the intimacy alive….true love and compassion for the other is what’s put to the test….good luck!!

My parents weren’t too affectionate with each other.. I would see them kiss but nothing too big or showy. They always said I love you to each other. My parents are divorced and have significant others in their life’s.. My dad and step mom are always affectionate.. often giving more than one kiss at a time.. I have caught my mom with her significant other only once.. at that was enough for me.. they hold hands in the car and tell each other they love them.. they aren’t real publicly affectionate like my dad and his wife are.

My parents are/still married – although they tried three rather amusing years living apart after several massive rows in short succession (and their version of living apart was each having a house in opposite ends of the same street – and my dad coming over every night for dinner)

I saw them hold hands, I saw them kiss, I saw them hold each other, snuggle, hug – etc etc

I’ve never caught them ‘doing the buisness’ though – but mind you, what they get up to in the privacy of their own bedroom – when the door is closed – is none of my buisness.

My parents were always holding hands. They hugged and kissed quite often (even though we would cringe) in the evenings they sat together on the sofa, mom would usually be leaning against dad. I think all 7 of us kids caught our parents having sex at one time or another (“doing some business” only indicates your own immaturity) and on occasion we would hear them in the kitchen arguing. When there was an argument it was always in the kitchen, but they weren’t anything major.

I can’t say I ever remember seeing them kiss or hold hands actually.

I was trying to think of a time when I saw this, but the only time they actually looked “together” when I remember them, was in their Christmas picture taken at the club they went to for the company “do”, and that I guess was only because they were having their picture taken.

I wonder if this had an effect on my sister and I? I wonder if my son thinks of his parents as a couple who kiss and hold hands?

I grew up in the 60s/70s, just so you can appreciate the era. Family was very conservative; I was the fifth of six kids.
However, parents showed affection – you know I don’t think I ever saw them hold hands, but they would kiss, hug – and now that I’m married, I know that my dad’s ‘teasing’ of my mom in the kitchen all the time was actually very loving! My husband does the same thing (tickling, etc.). Never ‘caught’ them, but every evening after dinner, they had at least a half hour of ‘quiet time’ when we weren’t allowed to bother them!
I know their relationship wasn’t perfect, but they were married 42 years before my dad passed away.

Interesting equating this to my marriage and how my husband and I are, and comments our son has made. We often hold hands just sitting on the couch watching tv, and snuggle or tickle-fight. We are always kissing and hugging and NEVER do anything appropriate, but our teen son has sometimes commented that we should just ‘get a room’…
We’ve been married over 19 years, and that spark is just as strong as it was in the beginning.

Well. My parents seperated early in my childhood, but my step-mother and father used to kiss randomly in the kitchen, and I heard my mum *coughs* you know what, while trying to get to sleep, since my bedroom was right next to hers. I was to young to realise what they were doing, I just kept telling them in my head to “shut up!”
