Boyfriend looking at other women

Hi I see my boyfriend looking at other women while we’re out and on the telly. When I mention it to him he denies it and says it’s all in my head. I know what I see and I know it’s not all in my head.
it’s come to the point where I dread going anywhere with him.
He has done and said hurtful things that have made me feel insecure about myself and our relationship.
Does anyone else see their boyfriend looking at other women and what do you do when it happens? Xx

Fuck him off he sounds like a pure dickhead.
when he says better than you he means more naïve and compliant , stupid even.
There are plenty of woman out there like that so tell him to take his pick. There are also a billion better men, so make sure you choose one of those aswell.

Don't put up with this shitty behaviour...I know I've been there. It's just all a silly game to him. I wouldn't even bother bringing it up anymore to him when you see him ogling he's doing it on purpose they love the attention. Please try to get out of that relationship as soon as possible.

@IsThereAnEchoInHere

Your attitude is just bizarre, but you seem to have a disconnection between your eyes and your brain...noticing that someone is
attractive or not is instantaneous for most people, and doesn't require any thought at all.

He doesn't care about op that she can see him staring behind the sunglasses, he's wearing them so he can perv on the young women without THEM confronting him so suggesting op pulls him up on it is moot.

I think you need to work on your self esteem, not for jealousy but for staying with a man like this and thinking you're so reliant on him. Like others said you could claim benefits with 2 disabled kids and you could try and find some employment. You're destroying your own self esteem by not standing up for yourself and taking this life for more money. If you want to do this fine but just emotionally detach from your pervy pig and stop expecting him to behave different and even more importantly stop caring and just use him for the cash cow he currently is.

Unless he wears a blindfold, how is he supposed to avoid looking at people, some of who will be female? I have no qualms about my DH possibly finding another female attractive. It doesn’t mean he wants to run off into the sunset with her.

We all know there is looking and then there is looking. One glance, maybe a quick one again of a split second is fine but it's the following with eyes up and down again and again stopping to admire the best body parts clearly lustful thoughts, unless you have autism maybe and can't spot these things, most women have seen men do it to them or to other women.

If I was in your shoes I would be ogling other men for all I was worth, every time I saw someone hot my tongue would be hanging out and my eyes would be on stalks
See how he likes them apples 😄
(But he doesn't sound like a keeper)

Maybe have a read at pp’s updates and her previous thread where her boyfriend openly tells op that he fancies his mate’s girlfriend and always talking about how fit and attractive he thinks she is to upset op on purpose, however he does and says horrible things to op! He is a nasty, emotional abusive prick who tries to put op down at every opportunity he gets! Also, he is not just glancing at other women, he is full on ogling them up and down!
