How much do you think is acceptable?
I feel uncomfortable with anything beyond holding hands and hugging. My boyfriend misinterprets this as me being embarrassed by our relationship, when my stance is: "Our friends know we're together, but they probably don't want to watch us make out." I'm visiting his family over Thanksgiving, and he told me that his family will expect us to kiss in front of them. I'd really rather not. What are some ways to compromise here?
Also - I've tried explaining that I'm uncomfortable, but he doesn't understand, and thinks I'm kind of a prude. Any help in that department would be much appreciated, too!
