Me and my husband have been married for almost two years now. He's great and there are a lot of stuff I love about him except for one. He has a habit of looking at other attractive women when we are out and about. This has happened a lot of times almost every time some attractive woman passes by. I have already raised my concerns to him explaining how I don't like this especially when he's with me as I find it disrespectful. To which he said it's normal for men to do this and it's their natural character.
We also had few arguments in the past after I mentioned it which he ended up saying I'm jealous etc and that he should cover his eyes when we go out.
Things got heated couple of days ago when the same thing happened when we were in the car. He was driving and across the road there was an attractive woman walking he turned his head to look at her which of course I noticed. I tried to ignore it and not say anything. For reference, I've decided not to say anything for the last couple of months or so because I knew he wouldn't change and I just had to deal with it.
So the next day, a conversation happened between us where we were talking about men and women, then somehow it went to men being hunters etc. he said something that triggered me and of course I accidentally confronted him about the lady on the road. One thing led to another, I got really upset and told him that his actions are disrespectful. He apologized and said he will try not to do it in front of me meaning he will still do it when I'm not around. He said he's just curious and wants to look and see things including women but doesn't mean any harm. It's not like he's going to ask them out or fancy them. He also said he's curious to see how every woman is different to another in terms of physical features etc.
I didn't know what to think of that and nothing made sense to me as Im still hurt by this. I'm also 31 weeks pregnant and already feel emotional and my feelings are all over the place. I feel ugly and over weight, we are not intimate anymore since pregnancy as he said he's worried about hurting me or the baby. He also said once his sex drive is low.
When I look myself in the mirror, I see a different person who looks runs down and tired. I don't feel sexy or beautiful at all. A part of me regrets the pregnancy even though its planned. I just didn't know the whole journey would have such an impact in my life and my physical appearance and make me so emotional. The fact that my husband does this doesn't help either.
Whenever I see beautiful women online or in real life, I just feel bad and compare myself to them. Mostly can't help but think that my husband would look at them if he sees them. I shouldn't be stressing about this during pregnancy and should focus on me and baby but I can't help feel so crap.
Any advise on what I should is very much appreciated x
