My partner is having a fit because I met a celebrity that I enjoy and had a photo op and a kiss on the lips from him. He thinks this is cheating and I say it was a harmless thing. Do you feel he is being unreasonable or as a committed partner I shoud have never let this take place?

Well coming from my perspective... I would say your boyfriend doesn't have to worry. There is an unspoken guideline in our house. No kissing or ANYTHING with anyone that isn't my husband or myself. Now... if... one of ran into a celebrity that did "it" for us, then I would say go for it, a little peck isn't going to hurt.

That's just us though!

Maybe if you pointed out that since you had a photo taken of it, it certainly doesn't smack (groans, pun intended!) of the usual sneaking behind the back that typifies cheating amd it is a good indication that you really thought it was okay. So if you could arrange a reciprocal deal for him, how would you handle it? How would it be if it was sprung on you like this sounded it was? It may be wiser on this one little battle, to lose the battle and win the war. Agree that it took him by surprise (unpleasantly so), that you did not mean to hurt him and that you'll be more careful with all future celebrities. :D

This was by all means not something taken by surprise for him. This frickin celebrity is someone he knew about in advance. He knew I won a meet and greet opportunity with him. He was appalled by the photo, because this guy was standing behind me, with his arms wrapped around my shoulders.. Very cute picture! The kiss took place at another time when I made a sign at his show ( he's a country singer) and he called me up on stage. The sign was a humorous take on asking for a kiss on the lips. Everyone in the arena, some 6500 fans witnessed the innocence. Everyone screamed, laughed and especially the celebrity made light of it all. This is a common thing that this entertainer and several others , I'm sure , do at their shows. It is all in fun. This guy is a hottie, and that is the only reason my husband feels like this. I have tried countless times to reassure him, he has no need for worry or insecurity. I've apologized to him for feeling any hurt over this, but also was adamant that he is suffering needlessly. I want to get past it. I promised him it will never again happen. Been there, done that... but he is convinced that there will be more possibilities. He dreads that I even watch award shows or hear songs by him on the radio. He compares himself with this guy. There really is no comparison. My husband is a great guy, great looking and has so many wonderful attributes. This however is the worst. I told him time and time again, given the same circumstances, I would have no problem with it whatsoever, for him to have the same experience with a hot female celebrity. He tried to say in comparison how would I feel if he adored someone (not a celebrity) and just wanted a quick kiss on the lips and a hug and that shouldn't bother me because he had/has no intentions on taking it any farther. I disagree in that it ISN'T the same circumstance. Someone down the block in relation to a celebrity person is quite DIFFERENT. I would love more responses...
