To be annoyed by DH and his comment about my work?

I’ve been a sahm for three years and have recently gone back into a job that I really wanted but is totally different from anything I’ve done before.
It’s involving meeting lots of new people, DH has been a bit heckles up when any of them have been men. Mainly I’m working at home but I’m having a few in person meetings now.
A couple of weeks ago I had a Teams meeting and one of the men on there said it would be good to have a meeting between my organisation and his. He then emailed me to arrange a meeting and would like to meet face to face, probably because he’s sick of meeting everyone virtually like the rest of us.
DH came into the room whilst I was working and read the email over my shoulder and I could see he wasn’t very happy about it and he said ‘why does he want a meeting with you?’ so I said he’d just requested one as we work in the same field and with the same sort of people. He made a sort of huh noise and asked how this man knew of me, I said we’d ‘met’ on a Teams meeting once before and DH said ‘yeah, he’s obviously thought that’s a nice little hottie with good tits, I’d like a piece of that.’
Aibu to find this massively annoying? The worst thing is it makes me defensive and I haven’t even done anything! Also I’m late 30s and I don’t believe this man has ANY ulterior motives in suggesting we meet. None at all.

@Bitesizerainbows

Pre pandemic when I used to actually go out he’d say I looked ‘too nice to go out without him’ or I wasn’t to speak to any men ‘including the barman’ but he’d be joking sort of, I think.

He's really not joking, OP. Several posters have said this now, so I hope you believe them. These are quite controlling comments - does he think he owns you?

Also, whether you have a confidential or a general work email account, he shouldn't be reading them anyway. Not only because he should trust you, but because a lot of what he reads may well be intellectual property of the company you work for. I do hope you password protect your screen every time you leave your computer so he's unable to access it... 🌹

Controlling men like your husband don't take kindly to people not bending to their will op. Be very careful around him but don't ignore all the ways in which he is trying to control you.

I don't know what you think hearing all these views, but I would be scared to be with a man like that.

My ex was like this, demanded to know which men were on teams meetings,could he see their picture..why was I wearing makeup..who was I trying to impress etc. He was a vile insecure man. I only realised just how vile when I got rid and could see clearly how awful it was. Maybe you will be the same OP. Don't put up with this.

What a disgrace. Shows what he thinks of his female colleagues. And you. Dickhead.
