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.

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.

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?
