To be irritated at flirtatious women

[jemjens]

It really is starting to get under my skin how many women flirt with DH when we're out walking the dog. Women will make eye contact with him rather than with me, ignoring me, when I speak they go back to him.

The other day we encountered a couple and DH said something funny and the woman was straight away all giggly and managed to somehow manoeuvre me out of the way so that I had to walk behind her while she walked adjacent to DH. It was like I was invisible to her.

DH is gregarious, that's one of his traits. But it's like these women are being starved of male attention in their lives and so immediately latch on to him the minute he engages conversation. Sometimes I feel like saying to them hello, I am here you know.

In the past (before we got the dog) he's told me about random conversations he's had with women in queues, in waiting rooms, etc., and that he said he thinks how bizarre the things they tell him that they must think of him as a sort of agony aunt. Now I'm actually seeing for myself IRL what he means, it's kind of grating on me.

Those shameless hussies

Is your husband Tom hardy @jemjens ?? Brad Pitt? Leonardo DiCaprio, David Beckham??? No, it's Harry Styles isn't it?! Young gorgeous handsome man. No wonder all these women chase after him.

Poor you.

We are both attractive and both look much younger than we really are.

LOL, of COURSE you look MUCH YOUNGER than you are

Also, what the fuck does that have to do with anything?

I feel your pain OP, now I'm fairly attractive,look good for my age but DH is pretty handsome , and getting better with age Woman love him. They always have. It seems they always will. But he's married to me,so... by all means get your jollies flirting, cos it's going nowhere. I don't really think about it anymore , ans if someone's very brazen infront of me: I make sure to do a ridiculous giggle back at them. That usually shuts them down.

LMFAO!

I might be wrong, but the woman are probably more interested in the dog. And then when you’re DH starts chatting they are happy to chat away, whereas you may be giving “fuck off” vibes so they don’t chat away to you

There are some women who act like idiots in front of men, going all giggly and fluttering lashes. My mother is one such person, she is so different when talking to men than she is with women.

IME quite a lot of women are not good at identifying the difference between a woman being friendly or polite to a man and a woman flirting with a man.

I'm a generally quite smiley person (well, I was when I was younger) and in my field I work with mainly men, and it amuses me seeing women become territorial when I'm talking to their husband/partner/guy they fancy, when in reality I'm not only, not flirting, I'm barely tolerating and being polite because I need to professionally (whilst internally I'm wondering why on earth their partner is with them).

I do apologise OP, when I am out walking my dog I just can't help myself and just have to flirt with every man I see. I am just gagging for some dog walking cock when I am down the park. Some of those elderly gents with their dogs are proper silver foxes and I just want to ride them till the cows come home.

Seriously though, maybe these floozies could just be humouring your husband and laughing at his crap jokes out of politeness?

@SilverBirchWithout

I’m one of those who flirt with people’s dogs - I have no shame 😂

Me too.

Maybe these are gregarious women.

I'm both pissing myself laughing - but also vomiting at the same time at this ^

I think your husband is friendly and kind and like people.
A stranger is just a friend you have not met yet.
The person who is upset by it is YOU. Yet you love this man for how he is.
It is sweet your still jealous, but it is 100% your problem.

We’ve just got a dog and every time my DP comes in from walking her he says. “You wouldn’t believe how many women told me I was beautiful!”

Are you gregarious and chatty? If not it's probably why they're talking to him if he's engaging with them and you're not.

I agree with the op, women do it to me, last night in the cinema as we walked in, 2 women walked past their early 30s. We clocked each other, big beaming smile eyes glistening. Then we found our seats her and her friend were sat 2 seats away, with their prospective partners. The beaming woman kept leaning over smiling all throughout the film.
Weird.
Calm those panties woman.

It's happened at concerts, I can remember two women attempting to make flirty conversation, then they realized my wife was standing on the other side of me.
'Oh, you're married, sorry'.

Dp gets attention as well, most blokes just stare, although whilst out the doorman made a bee-line, they were outside chatting for 10 mins.
Whilst dog walking in the summer months though, most blokes just stare at her chest.

Personally, it might be an instant ego boost. I think people need to read the situation and stop doing it. I think in any setting including the workplace if you know the person has a significant other don't flirt.

Woman love him.

Who is this woman? You should have a word .

You can tell when someone you've just met is not engaging with you but is engaging with the person standing right next to you.

Maybe because you’re clearly not as approachable as your husband.

Oh my, he's lucky you're there to protect him OP. Always take a stick with you to beat the hordes back.

I think a lot of these woman must be married to ugly baldies and have never had this sort of thing happen to them

So.... you are irritated by the 'flirtatious women' but not by your very married DH behaving the same way right in front of you?

I know who I'd be cross at.... and it's not the women that are responding to your DH's overly friendly signals.

I'm just here for the replies 😁

You want to be careful, or if he falls over his cock might land in one of these women!

Or maybe our husbands aren’t leaving us to walk behind them whilst they chat to other women 😂🤷🏻‍♀️

My ex-husband was very handsome (actually an ex-model albeit not a well-known one) and I always found it funny that some women used to throw themselves at him. He was a terrible husband (endless reasons but nothing to do with other women) so I just thought they didn't know him very well

You both sound a bit tricky tbh.
Drum roll....surely she should LTB.

No, you're irritated that you don't, for either valid or invalid reasons, trust your husband.
Don't lay the blame at women's feet. Own it!
