I’m struggling with something that feels small but doesn’t actually feel small to me.
I genuinely love kissing. Not just little pecks, but actually making out. It’s one of the ways I feel closest to my partner, and I really miss it.
My boyfriend is the complete opposite. He’ll give me quick pecks here and there, but he almost never wants to passionately kiss or make out. I’ve brought it up before, and he’s always kind about it. He says he’ll try to kiss me more, but it doesn’t happen.
I don’t want to pressure him into doing something he doesn’t naturally enjoy, and I know everyone expresses affection differently. At the same time, I don’t want to spend years missing something that genuinely matters to me.
Has anyone been through something similar? Were you able to find a compromise, or did you realize it was just a compatibility difference? I’m trying to figure out if there’s another perspective I’m missing.

It's a quiet one. I always loved the timing of my birthday but that's probably how everyone feels about their own! ☺️😊 here’s to another one! 🥂❤️ maybe I'll get a cake today
