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.

And then he obviously shagged her over the kitchen table. Ltb immediately.

Seriously, it’s bad enough that posters start threads with “please be kind” But making that a username as well is a step too far.

Although this is obviously a post and run thread so … Hmm

This is ridiculous op sorry. The man nodded. You were in another room. You could not tell he was thinking about how beautiful she looked based on this alone.

Was Amy just wearing the jacket and nothing else?

AmyDudley · 05/07/2021 19:55

How did he nod along to DGD's compliment ? - If he nodded rapidly 50 or 60 times with his tongue hanging out, then you may have a problem, if not then he's probably just being totally normal.

Is there huge drop feed coming?

gurglebelly · 05/07/2021 20:07

Oh blimey, no unless there is a massive back story here that would not upset me in the slightest.

Babygotblueyes · 05/07/2021 20:08

You couldn't tell anything, you were projecting your own fears onto him. If you are a bit down today, go do something nice for yourself until you feel a bit better. If this is an ongoing thing, you need to look for some counselling to help you sort this out.

Christ almighty unless there is a massive backstory then no.

Mydogmylife · 05/07/2021 20:16

No - get over yourself

Sharron?

MolyHolyGuacamole · 05/07/2021 20:20

Are we missing a drip feed back story?

My husband often compliments women on clothes, nice teeth etc notices hair cuts, new car etc, never bothered me.

His friends always compliment me when they see me, it's never even crossed my mind that it would be an issue either way.

Compliments really do make someone's day 🙂

RaindropsOnRosie · 05/07/2021 20:35

Get your ducks in a row and LTB immediately OP.

Please say OP is a troll

Lalliella · 05/07/2021 20:43

What a batshit post. You’re totally unreasonable. What should DP have said? “That’s an awful jacket”? Whilst completely avoiding looking at the neighbour? What’s going on OP?

Bunch of swingers, aren't you 😁
Maggiesfarm · 05/07/2021 20:49

In answer to your title question, no that would not have upset me.

tabctrlnoanykey · 05/07/2021 20:49

Perhaps she was wearing a jacket and nothing else.

Dougal: THOSE WOMEN WERE IN THE NIP!

@Flowers500

Seriously, what is the correct response here??

Person: “Amy’s jacket looks nice”
DH: “NOT AS NICE AS MY WIFE’S BREASTS

Person: “Amy’s jacket looks nice”
DH: blinds himself with a dirty fork lest he cast eyes upon it

Person: “Amy’s jacket looks nice”
DH: calls Amy a fat cow

??? What do you want from him???

Best belly laugh I’ve had in a week. My thanks Grin
KimmyAndMe · 05/07/2021 20:50

It sounds like you need to buy a jacket exactly like Amy’s OP. Unless you’re having a laugh, of course 🤔

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 05/07/2021 20:55

I think I would, if he was masterbating when he said it. Grin

CaptSkippy · 05/07/2021 21:03

OP, does your husband have a habit of ogling women?

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 05/07/2021 21:05

Correction - I was so excited at being able to write the word 'masturbating' I misspelt it! Blush

EleanorOlephantisjustfine · 05/07/2021 21:05

Come on now, give your head a wobble.

BritWifeInUSA · 05/07/2021 21:14

How old is the child? If she’s very young then he was probably just showing the child that paying a compliment is a nice way to behave. A kind of positive reinforcement, if you will. As you know, when young children see adults are happy with what they’ve done or said, they are more likely to continue that behavior.
