  • i dont think it could be averted - why go if you dont want to see and hug old friends?
  • Well I think if your wife backs away or has her arms crossed in front of her, you could avert all the hugging. Or do what I do just don't go, you can't get any hugs that way!!!
  • jealous much? What, exactly, is wrong with hugging an old friend? I'm a guy with other guy friends. when I see an old friend I hug him. Does that make me gay? I hug some of my female friends with no urge to sleep with them. I would be willing to bet all $20 of my kids collage fund that shes not the one who has a problem with it.
  • She can pretend she has a cold....
  • Before they can hug, stick your hands out for a handshake.
  • Why would you not want any male to touch her in any way? I wouldn't bother going if you can't handle the jealousy. I suppose it's okay if she hugs her female friends though, right? Geez. Let her go alone. Sounds like you'd wreck everyone's time.
  • Everyone hugs everyone at these events. Get over it! Hugs between old friends mean nothing more than "it's nice to see you." If you back away, you'll look unfriendly and aloof, in which case you may as well stay at home!
