To be jealous of DH complimenting some women

Well, I guess I know IABU!!!

I get annoyed when DH compliments other women, particularly when it's partners of his friends I.e - they have amazing bodies or whatever. This happened recently where he said one had a great body and must 'seriously hit the gym'.

I appreciate that probably makes me extremely insecure but I don't do it to him ever. If one of my mates partners were extremely attractive I wouldn't mention it out of respect.

Am I being unreasonable? I also believe part of it is when he compliments an attribute of the person that I feel is one of my few good points - It makes me feel under threat.

This sounds terrible as I write it and I know it makes me appear a bad person as I should in reality just agree with him and shrug it off but it really plays on me.

Surely I'm not the only one?! Anyone else?!!

I think it’s shitty of him to continue to do it knowing it upsets you. I wouldn’t stand for that.

It doesn’t make you sound like a bad person but does make him sound like a complete dick

I said it made me feel like a bad person because I feel like I should be secure enough to appreciate someone else's good looks or whatever.

And the fact I don't must mean there's an issue with me and my insecurities.

But maybe it's not all me with the issue after some of your responses

YANBU at all, I’d leave DH if he acted like this. It’s completely unnecessary and disrespectful, there’s no way I’d ever mention another man’s body to him.

You are 100% not BU! Reminds me of an ex who used to say stuff about women on TV, oh she's so fit, she'd get it etc etc even when watching tv with his family. I got so annoyed I ended up doing it back, some make celeb, omg he's so fit, the things I'd do to him, phwoar that body! His Nan was a bit shocked but she saw my point. He got super annoyed but never made stupid comments again! Try it Grin

I think you need to start doing it to him. 'I bumped into Dave tonight, he had really tight trousers, they failed to hide his clearly massive cock, I can see why mrs Dave puts up with him, ha ha'.

😂 I try and do it back but it doesn't seem to have the same effect, sadly!
