Would this upset you?

Neighbour came round to drop off a parcel. She had on a nice jacket and to be fair, did look quite pretty. My granddaughter said 'I love your jacket Amy!' and my DP nodded, agreed and I could tell he was thinking she looked attractive. Kind of felt he should have said nothing and also he did not see I was in the kitchen. Could tell he thought she looked beautiful and it's just upset me a bit.

Awaits drip feed that OP caught him wanking whilst watching a clip of Amy on the Ring doorbell…

He should have said that’s a nice jacket but my wife has a nicer one Grin[/quote]

Was he rubbing his thighs and looking like Benny Hill?

You're being touch ridiculous, poor chap

Mamamamasaurus · 05/07/2021 18:20

Either there's a massive backstory / drip feed or you're very insecure OP.

You're reading FAR too much into an innocent comment, based on your OP

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/07/2021 18:24

Got it.

The last time he was plugging away she gave him a quick mind read (BJs are so last season) and he was thinking of Amy dusting in the buff instead of her.

This reminds me of a story that DH still gets much glee from. Years back DH (then boyfriend) was at work and someone made a comment about Jennifer Lopez. All the men agreed she was a stunning woman except one man who said he wasn't allowed to find any women more attractive than his wife. Now this was a group of men eating their sandwiches on break. I can assure you none of them was likely to actually run off with Jennifer Lopez.

Yousexybugger · 05/07/2021 18:26

What's the backstory, OP, does he have form for perving on other women wherever you go/ cheating? If not then theres no harm in him acknowledging someone looks nice. where is Amy's amazing jacket from

KimmyAndMe · 05/07/2021 18:31

You are bothered that your DP agreed that someone has a nice jacket. Why does it bother you? Is there a back story?

SchrodingersImmigrant · 05/07/2021 18:32

Of course there is a backstory. When is there none

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 05/07/2021 18:35

I would wonder if Amy’s jacket had a spot of the clintons on it and OP recognised it as being a bit of ‘relation’ from her DP?

Squirrelblanket · 05/07/2021 18:36

What? No. 😂

VettiyaIruken · 05/07/2021 18:37

No, my husband nodding and agreeing when my grandchild said they liked someone's jacket would not upset me.

Bonjourfern · 05/07/2021 18:39

😂. Would you rather he said 'actually Amy I think you look like a sack of shit' ?

Paddingtonitspaddingtonbear · 05/07/2021 18:40

He didn't make the compliment, he agreed with it. You need to work on you. Its your issue.

PegasusReturns · 05/07/2021 18:41

Erm is this part of a bigger issue?

Tal45 · 05/07/2021 18:44

If you neighbour was a hot man would you notice? Unless there's more to this I don't think it's a big deal.

Batshittery · 05/07/2021 18:44

FFS Confused

DrManhattan · 05/07/2021 18:46

Omg that Amy, what a slag. Wearing a nice jacket? The total skanky bitch.

TotorosCatBus · 05/07/2021 18:47

Only ok to be upset if you own the same jacket and your child and husband weren't as complimentary when you wear it.

Chloemol · 05/07/2021 18:55

No

Sally872 · 05/07/2021 18:59

You could tell by the way he nodded along with Dds compliment that he found her attractive? I think you are overthinking this one.

Is there anything you could do to boost your own self esteem/confidence. It's a shame you are wasting any headspace on this Flowers

Beautiful3 · 05/07/2021 19:04

Strange?! If my child complimented someone, I or my husband would have to agree out of politeness. I feel sorry for your partner. Are you going to be horrible to him and give him the silent treatment all night for imagined feelings?!

caughtinanet · 05/07/2021 19:12

I hope Amy is a made up name or she might recognise a jacket complimenting child and think she's in with a shot at your DH

Greyrootszerohoots · 05/07/2021 19:15

One of the things I love about my DH is that he genuinely compliments people. I cannot imagine getting in a mood because he said someone looked nice, that’s a trust issue.

nicecheesegromit · 05/07/2021 19:15

Weird. You're not serious are you?
