Going on about other women

My partner is constantly going out about other women, an example being if we are out doing shopping my partner will look at another woman and start telling me what he likes about her, saying things like "you know, that woman other there has a gorgeous body but her hair is all wrong..." or "you know, that women would be absolutely stunning if she had the right clothes on..." blah blah blah...

If we're out for for a meal or something like that he'll start going out about the women in the resteraunt, confirming to me which ones he fancies, which ones are good looking and sometimes making out that they're looking at him and fancy him etc and he's constantly making up stories about women who have apparantly tried it on with him etc.

The last straw came last weekend when he 'met' a woman on the train, offered to help her with her bags (fair enough) but then got her number etc and told me all about it when he got back!!! He'd even arranged with her to take me to her parents pub on saturday night for last orders (when we'd already arranged something else) and got irritated with me because I said I didnt want to go (due to prior arrangements). So he text her saying I didnt want to go. Its like if another woman comes on the scene everything has to bloody stop and be re-arranged but he see's nothing wrong in what he's doing. Yesterday I asked him if he'd spoken to this girl since saturday night (just out of curiosity) and he replied with "no, dont worry...she's nothing on you..."!!! I never even assumed she was and he acts like he's doing me a favour by saying that she isnt!

I'm just so sick of him constantly going on and on about other women. Angry If I mention other blokes (I do it rarely!) he goes in a sulk!

He sounds very insecure indeed. This would annoy me too - how old is he?? I am sure it is no reflection on you at all but you need to tell him how annoying it is and that he should grow up!

he's 25 but I would say he acts more like an 18 year old Angry

Ha ha Twinkie - I was thinking the same! Grin

However, what very odd behaviour - sounds like he is trying to make you jealous, which in turn just makes him seem very insecure. I'd definitely tell him to stop commenting on other women as how would he like it if you commented on every man and compared him with them all the time?

Make it plain this makes you unhappy and tell him to quit or you will go and find someone else.

He sounds like he needs constant re-assurance by getting female attention, if he wants to be with you he shouldn't be looking at other women.

Be strong and don't put up with this. IT IS NOT OK.
