Is this so wrong?

To feel so disgusted when your parents kiss or even just hold hands? I get physically ANGRY when they do. I don't go out anywhere with them at all 'cause they walk round holding hands.

My room is next to my parents' and I wear headphones in bed every night as I'm so scared I'll hear something I don't want to. It affects my sleep too :frown:

You'll probably all just tell me that I'm lucky that my parents have a good relationship, and it's true, but I need HELP not criticism- I don't want to hate it.

I dunno how you can change your opinion on your parents affection, but it's completey and utterly NORMAL. When you get to their age, won't you want to kiss, hug, hold hands with and god forbid, have sex with your partner?

You need to try and accept that it is a normal thing.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you. I don't like it, but I put up with it, I suppose. I don't really know what advice to give you =/

I think it's difficult - my mum and dad are divorced so i don't have that problem. But i think you need to think about how you want to be with your partner at their age. it'd be sad to think that because you're older you can't be affectionate and have a good physical relationship.

it'll never be easy.

My Dad is sixty eight. My mom is forty four. You think you have problems with it?

All I can say is learn to live with it. Or talk to them about it. It's gotta be easy enough to just avoid it.

OP

no, i'd call myself normal in all respects. i'm sorry to offend anyone. but it's not something i choose to feel. and the whole point of me posting this is to try and change my attitude. i dont appreciate being shouted at by people on here.

Staying together for you? Sounds like you're worse off than if they got divorced.

OP, I think it's natural, just live your own life.

Of course it's going to make you feel uncomfortable, i'd rather not hear/see my parents do anything but they are humans and it's normal/natural so I guess you'll have to accept it as dodgy as it seems :s-smilie:

I like it when my parents hold hands and things. I find it (for want of a better word) 'cute' that they still love each other in such a way that they want to be physcially affectionate with each other. I want to still hold my boyfriend's (or hopefully, husband's) hand when I'm in my fifties.

The affection thing is just a bit of their relationship that doesn't involve you. You have to remember that your parents had a whole life before you: there was a time when your parents weren't even aware of each others' existance. Be pleased that you still have parents that obviously love each other very much.

No its normal for your parents to show affection for one another, you should be happy they are still together. Well I wish I could say the same thing about me, but that was along time ago. You are just going to have to accept that this becuase your parents still are very much in love with each other. Yes, it's a normal thing, for parents to be this much in love. You need to control your own temper, when you see this. Or just go into another room, when they show this affection to eachother. Just be happy for what you have two parents.

Is this so wrong?
