Wow - Woman seeking man she kissed at marathon hears from his wife

I have no ethical problem with what the guy did, but why wouldn't he turn and kiss her on the cheek? I mean, I would imagine by his wife's response that it was fine in their relationship, but how did he know that lady didn't have herpes, etc?

As a married man of 15 years, I often kiss other women (friends) when saying hello, usually on the cheek while hugging them. Close friends, obviously. That is kind of normal, but I wouldn't go out and kiss some rando on the lips.

I hope he doesn't bring herpes home to his wife!!!

To the guy who kisses stipper boobs. Do they really allow that? Is it like a "it's okay, he's a regular" thing? Seems cleaner than lips, I guess.

I was in that race, but didn't see the kiss. That happened well behind me as I was one of the early race leaders. Maybe you saw me?

I think she passed you going by Fenway.

Married 35 years and my wife would kill me if I kissed another woman, even in fun! I'd prefer the reaction this guy's wife had, but my wife would be totally different. Of course, I am a very serious, deliberate individual, not prone to frivolities, and she knows that. If I decided to kiss another woman, even in "fun", she'd have a right to be mad!

Depends on the couple, I say.

I never kiss hookers.

Puritanism abounds. Cheating is a double entendre. The kind that involves faking a finish and finish time is much more interesting, as other threads demonstrate. Perhaps one takeaway from all this is that a mass race is like a small town in which all sorts of stuff happens.

This makes no sense.

The guy was married. He should have pulled back when the lady tried to kiss him.

It was only a kiss.

Is the depressing part that you're beginning to realize how insecure you are, or just from fear upon realizing that not everyone follows your primitive High School-level moral code?

I agree, this is just not something to get upset about. It was a situation where emotions are high, people are happy etc., and it was a spontaneous random kiss planted in a moment of high emotion. It's similar to that famous Times Square WW2 picture of the sailor planting a kiss on a random girl out of excitement. Did anybody even care if those two were in other relationships? To get yourself all knotted up over someone planting a spontaneous kiss is just a crazy level of insecurity. If my husband started having spontaneous kisses every day I'd start to wonder what was going on - but a one off while standing at the end of a race and a finisher hugs him or kisses him, it's nothing.

I think it's lack of respect for your partner and lack of self-control.

Have you ever f***ked a woman before?
