She's so beautiful

Sitting watching Strictly tonight & when Amy comes on my husband says "she's so beautiful"
I appreciate she is beautiful but what really pisses me off is that he very, very rarely gives me verbal compliments.
I said nothing but thought "why do you need to say that"? I see many gorgeous men when we are watching TV but I might think a guy is lovely but don't say it out loud out of respect for my husband...I'm quite distracted & irrationally upset now.
I've got a feeling I'm being a bit ridiculous here but would be interested to hear others thoughts...

Yanbu OP.
I don't need to know who my husband finds attractive and vice versa.
Sexual relationships are built on physical attraction and I would never seek to supercede my attraction to my husband by mentioning how beautiful other men are.
I expect the same courtesy to be extended.

YANBU OP. And I wouldn't even class her as particularly attractive

I watch Strictly with my son, and have always loved Amy because she is such a lovely sweet person. This year I commented on how stunning she looked because she has gone blonde and it has somehow completely transformed her, she is simply breathtaking and those google images don’t do her justice. I never tell my son he looks stunning but he didn’t seem to mind! 😁

My DH did this once not long after we met and I told him I would never be the type of woman to sit there and accept him commenting on another woman’s looks. Not just because I find it disrespectful but I also don’t think the way people look is particularly important, I don’t think it’s necessary to pass comment on something a person can’t help iykwim (so same would happen if he berated someone’s looks). He hasn’t done it since.

My OH knows what I find attractive - him for a start. Fair enough not everyone wants to discuss this but personally I don't have a problem with my partner occasionally saying he thinks another woman is attractive. If he ogled repeatedly or was disrespectful in the way he did it, it would be another matter.

Each to their own. It's odd to me. I look at it that if I would say it to my girlfriends (which I would) I can definitely say it to my DH.
