Hi could I ask your opinions please ? Should I bothered that my partner has a pinterest account with lots of pictures of sexy women? They are all clothed - just very attractive and there are lots of them! All ages and looks. I came across the account by accident and its upset me . I have been with partner 29 years and we have 3 lovely grown up kids. He has several boards and some are cars and bikes etc - then the one of women. What do you all think please? I don't know if i'm over reacting? I would add he;s a lovely guy and has stood by me for years through difficult times, and has never ever cheated. Thanks

I wouldn't like this at all, but plenty here won't see the harm.
Have you spoken to him about it?

Sounds completely harmless to me.

joannejojo74 · 11/04/2019 12:37

No I haven’t spoken to him about it . I’ve not been well lately and there’s been enough to deal with tbh. I wanted to see if other people thought it was ok? I don’t have great self esteem and I feel hurt in the one hand - on the other I think there’s far far far worse things! Thank you for your comments

Thank you - you don’t think it’s offensive/disrespectful to me ? I appreciate your input

I don't think its offensive or disrespectful if they are fully clothed. I guess he is just appreciating attractive women and he will do that whether he is saving them on pinterest or not.
If it really bothers you that much, talk to him about it. You could even make a joke about how you found it.
To be honest, if that is the worst he has done, sounds like you have a decent fella there.

He could have made it a private board so no-one could view it.
Sounds like there is nothing behind it.
Pinterest has lots of hardcore porn pins/gifs tbh - I would be more concerned if he had a hobby of collecting those images.

Doesn't seem like an issue to me
He will find other women attractive, there must be other men you find attractive. Doesn't mean anything.

Thanks everyone - I've been so worried it was a reflection on how he felt about me - i.e maybe gone off me as he's keeping pictures of other women. my self esteem is rubbish at the best of times- I'm grateful for everyones input. Thank you all. x

Aww bless you Jo, I really sense a lack of self-esteem in your posts. Hope you're ok, and that you can make some time to build yourself up again Thanks

joannejojo74 · 11/04/2019 16:23

How lovely is everyone? Ive never posted on here before but I had no one else to turn to. I'm very grateful - and yes Dieu you're absolutely right - I'm really trying to work on it! Its not easy when you're getting older and dare I say it menopausal, but I'm trying! THank you

Hey, it would annoy me hugely too, I think it’s very easy still to be attractive and below a certain age and not give a fig and see it as harmless , these things bother me more as I’ve aged(even though I’m not bad for my age) if it upsets you, then you should be able to say so

Amongstthetallgrass · 11/04/2019 17:02

I think that’s a bit odd tbh

Dieu · 11/04/2019 18:40

Well, you sound lovely too, and don't forget that! It's important to have a healthy sense of your own self-worth.

I am going to go against the grain here, and say that the fact the women are clothed makes this weirder. You see, a naked woman = wank material. But an attractive, clothed woman = respect and admiration, which suggests girlfriend status (in his head anyway).
Does this make sense?

joannejojo74 · 11/04/2019 18:49

They are famous actresses tho so that’s not gonna happen! They are clothed but in very sexy clothing or swimsuits tight tops etc . Lots of nipples in tight tops so probs mild wank material !
