AIBU to think I should still be able to go out wear whatever I want even though I’m married?

For haloween last week me and my best friend dressed up in skimpy dresses. I had two kids very close together and I don’t mean to sound arrogant but my body isn’t bad considering I’ve had kids (well I never show off my tummy!) and I figured I should make the most of it. I feel comfortable and attractive in the clothes but don’t wear them for sexual attention. I find men usually don’t approach me but if they do they quickly back off when I make it clear I’m not interested. We had a great night out and my husband was fine with it, the only thing he asks is that I text to let him know I’m safe etc. But he and I are ALWAYS asked a ton of questions by colleagues, family members, friends because I go out. “ is your oh OK with you wearing THAT?” “Are you sure he doesn’t mind you going out dressed like that” “how can you be sure guys aren’t all over her” and AIBU to feel a bit disappointed that in 2021 people still have this attitude that married women should “cover up”. He responds by saying he doesn’t care he thinks I look good and he trusts me. AIBU to feel that dressing a certain way and not going out just because you are married is unhealthy? Nothing wrong with it if you were never into it in the first place/or genuinely aren’t anymore but I do enjoy a drink and a dance with my girlfriends and I don’t want that to stop just because I’m married. We only go out every few months so it’s not even like it’s all the time.

YABU for using the word 'tummy' let alone your odd stealth boast
