Hi,
I am sure this topic has probably been posted here before, but wanted to ask your thought please?

Currently dealing with disrespectful behavior from male partner in the form of letching and ogling other females while in my company...yes, this is not a quick glance here and there, this is obvious staring and checking out.

I have spoken with him regarding this issue and it did stop for a while, then started back up again, he tries now to do it discreetly when he thinks I am not looking, & no, this is in no way down to jealousy on my part, I find it totally disrespectful to both myself and feel it is objectifying the women in question,and can feel myself cringing when it happens.

Anyone here dealt with similar??

I wouldn't tolerate it. Not out of jealousy but rather the fact it's just completely gross. Any man who is "letching and ogling" women has no respect for them.

Exactly! totally not a jealous person at all, it is highly embarrassing to watch and so pathetic

Tell him he’ll get his face slapped one day.
Some men seem drawn to staring at boobs like they’re 8 year old boys seeing them for the first time.

The targets of this behavior are usually alone, but not always. Bur yes, I would laugh like a horse if he got a slap

Some men get so used to boggling at women when they're single that they can't get out of the habit. If he has half a brain cell he'd train himself to stop. Just dump him, what is the point of being with someone like this? Your self-esteem will rise rapidly once you're not feeling on edge every time you leave the house in case an attractive woman walks past.

You should get rid. It’s attention seeking provocative behaviour designed to get a rise out of you and put you into a mum role where you have to tell him off all the time.

If you’re not ready to get rid, stop going out with him. And keep him away from your friends as well.

" a mum role"? I am a bit confused to be honest, perhaps you could explain?

He is enjoying the negative attention op. He was probably delighted you had a conversation with him about it. He enjoys pissing you off.
