Please tell me if my annoyance is justified. Overall, he is super great and loving, it’s just this one thing that really annoys me. We have never gotten even close to any type of physical argument. He does not seem to understand this because according to him, it’s just out of fun and love, and I shouldn’t be taking it so seriously.Īnyway, by no means is my guy abusive or controlling. He says this is just one of his many ways of showing affection and love. However, I have told him that if he respected me and our relationship, he would stop doing something like this because I don’t like it. However, in his own defense, he says this is just the way he is – very playful.
I have told my boyfriend repeatedly to stop doing it because of these reasons above. Now I by no means am against play fighting in general – I love playfighting, but I just have an issue with playful smacks on the face. I find them to be kind of disrespectful to me. I have told him repeatedly that I dislike these gestures because:Ģ. Do you and your SO ever playfully smack each other on the face? My boyfriend is a pretty goofy and playful guy, and when we are joking around, playing and laughing, he will at times smack me on the face lightly for fun. I am new here and would appreciate some advice.
