Everybody has something that they find exceptional in other people. With DH it is singing. Anyone who can sing, DH thinks they are the bees knees. I think it's because DH cannot sing to save his life and is a bit of a frustrated musician and feels that he could have explored music had he not taken a more boring career.
Anyway, when we are out or with friends there are times when a man or woman will sing (even if it's just a few notes reminding us all of a song, or at a karaoke or at a show.) Anyway, every time it happens DH becomes obsessed saying wow, wow, he/she's got such a great voice, everybody listen, isn't this AMAZING, sing more for us etc... Wow. With female voices especially, his face sort of melts and his eyes glaze over.
My reaction is to get irrationally jealous inside, almost bubbling over with negativity about the whole situation, wanting the woman to stop bloody singing so I can stop having to watch my DH in this pre-orgasmic state. I get grumpy with him (don't tell him why) and the whole night's ruined for me.
He often goes up after the performance and tells the singer (male or female) how great they were. I don't care when it's the men, I often go up with him too, but when it's a woman - especially an attractive woman and he is talking to her telling her how beautiful her voice is - I just feeling like disappearing into a hole in the earth.
Do I have a problem?
