To expect it to be okay to have a 'woman crush' on celebrities without DH getting upset??

Have been happily married to DH for 12 years and have 4 (nearly 5) crazy beautiful children. My sexuality is in no way under question.

The other day while watching a preview of 'Wanted', I said, almost to myself, 'Wow, she's hot.' DH nearly wet himself and repeated to ALL his mates what I said. After his severe pestering, I admitted that I also like looking at Scarlett Johansson, Kate Moss, and other various celebrities I fear may not be as tasteful to public opinion

It seemed good fun to him for a few weeks but now he has started to become distressed, asking if I would ever 'act' on any of these impulses. I said to him: You BET if I ever saw Angelina Jolie and had the chance I would do it.

Now he's freaked out and questioning my sexuality. I want him to chill out and not be suspicious. AIBU?

my dad once told us that he wouldnt turn jean claude van dam down (if he was a woman)! we all told him that he needs better taste in men!!!

dp says he can see what women see in brad pitt, i wish he could explain it to me because i dont!!!

i still stand by my commment that he is insecure.

have you ever admitted to him that you have had any experience with a woman? maybe it is playing in his mind that she was better than him?

tis a commen thought that women can please women better than men can because they know what to do

My dh has stated in the past that he'd do Brad Pitt (he also really liked George Cluny, but denies this now). I did find it a little weird. I don't to be honest think it is a wise idea to ever say you would sleep with anyone else, however hypothetically. Perhaps your dh thinks you don't fancy him at the moment? Also if he thinks you are eyeing up a lot of women, I think that's different from having a singe crush. Your comment that you don't really care how he feels about it is a little concerning (although I appreciate this may just be because you are annoyed with him for being so pushy about it and then getting upset).

Personally I would be upset if my dh said he fancied anyone else (Male or female) because I would worry that this meant I wasn't enough in some way.
