DH looking at the gym

I understand that we are all humans and we all tend to have a little look at other people sometimes but am I justified in being a bit pissed/ upset that DH is looking at other women at the gym while we’re there? I don’t mind the odd look, we all do it but if there is a good looking woman he will be constantly looking at her.. while I’m standing next to him. It’s starting to make me feel pretty shit, I’ve put on some covid weight and am not looking my best at the moment. Am I overreacting?

Women in the gym shouldn't have to worry about creepy men eyeing them up while they are there, so I am more angry on their behalf, and you owe it to them to point out how disgusting he is being.

What a pervert. It’s bad enough to be leering at women, but to do it infront of you, what a sleeze. In the gym the etiquette is to let people work out without feeling conscious about being hot and sweaty, too. I very much doubt the women appreciate his attention.

I would embarrass the fuck out of him! Walk over to the other woman and say In a loud whispering voice "I'm so sorry about him over there leering at you, I'm still trying to house break the fool"

Ugh he doesn't respect women.

Doesn't respect his partner enough to not eye up other women in front of her.

Doesn't respect other women enough to not eye them up (repeatedly) when they're trying to work out.

Calmly but loudly say ‘eyeing up other women’s bodies is disrespectful to both her and me’ then calmly turn on your heel and walk away. You get to make your point, hold your boundary and not be accused of being hysterical/jealous/whatever other nonsense men accuse women of when they get caught out. His behaviour is not on, so don’t feel you have to be embarrassed because you caught him out in his bad behaviour. Keep your head held high! He’s not embarrassed so you shouldn’t be!
