Partner looking at other women on school run

My partner comes with me on the school run sometimes and is always looking at other mums. One had tight gym leggings and was very obviously looking. I feel disrespected as he doesn’t even try and hide it. What would you do?

Btw I don’t mean just looking, like full on gawping and it’s just obvious.

That's very disrespectful to you. Tell him he needs to learn to do it discreetly or he can wait outside the gates/in the car next time.

Thriving30 · 18/03/2024 14:46

It's natural to look at other attractive people, if he's being disrespectful with it that's a different issue.

Zaxi · 18/03/2024 14:48

So he is "gawping" at women in tight clothing on the school run?

Has he got a diamond encrusted cock, because I cant fathom how this is an attractive man? Does he have hiddens shallows?

Obeast · 18/03/2024 14:54

Do you really need this particular boyfriend? If you choose to keep dating him, stop inflicting him on women who are trying to go about their day.

BigButtons · 18/03/2024 14:56

Why are you letting yourself be so disrespected?

DonnaBanana · 18/03/2024 15:03

Sometimes you have to balance these things. Tell him to stop being so obvious, it's embarrassing. At the same time you will miss it when he's got ED and not interested in sex at all.

Oh yeah go on mate, go and gawp at whoever you want dont mind me. Because one day you'll have ED and I'll be sorry I wasn't accepting of you being a dirty sleaze years ago...don't think so.

What. The. Actual. Fuck

ButterflyKu · 18/03/2024 15:12

I’m going through something similar however mine is more through social media than online. Ended things yesterday and we have children together. It’s disgusting and disrespectful, I’m sick of it. You don’t have to put up with nonsense

Herdinggoats · 18/03/2024 15:13

You feel disrespected? What about the poor women who can’t even pull on a pair of leggings to run the kids to school without getting leered at.

What a pig.

No I said he should not be obviously gawping because it's inappropriate, but at the same time if he is going to look he at least has some blood running through his veins. I would tell him off for that but still secretly be glad he's still hot to trot as it were

Lol. LOL.

OP, he sounds like a bloody sex offender. I'd be frightened, not flattered, by any bloke who stood gaping at me.

You’re not responsible for his behaviour

Men who gawp at women don't automatically have the ability to please their wives in bed. FFS.

In fact it's often these little weasels who can't get it up. Staring and perving is the limit of their capabilities.

fatphalange · 18/03/2024 15:28

Just stop, Donna. Ffs lol

Wishlist99 · 18/03/2024 15:28

There’s plenty of gym leggings at pick up and in 15 years I’ve never ever seen dads gawping at mums (including some very hot crop top wearing mums!). Gawping is pretty extreme, your partner sounds like an utter creep - forget about being “disrespected”, that’s the least of your worries!

Platedshoes · 18/03/2024 15:31

I think we're all kidding ourselves to think men (or women) don't notice and look at people they find attractive, whether they're in a realtionship or not. Most have the manners not to gawp.

He sounds unpleasant both to you and the other women. What is the attraction?

InfiniteGoodVibes · 18/03/2024 15:33

This would give me permanent ick. He sounds like an immature prize prat.

Odd to accompany you on the school run too imo.
