I am one of the lucky guys. I have been married to bride #1 for 33 years. We are both now 53 and not only do I find her more attractive than ever so does most other guys. Honestly I look my age but my wife can easily pass for 20 years younger. She looks so much younger than she is that on more than a dozen occasions people have ask if she and our daughter are sisters.
Recently I had a friend to ask how I made it without becoming extremely jealous of people checking out my wife and especially when we go out together. My wife doesn’t dress revealing but when we go out for a date night she does take her sexiness to another level. My friend finishes his statement by saying if his wife was checked out as often and complimented as often as my wife he would be so jealous that her taking time to look extra sexy would be a total turn off.
I have always been the polar opposite in that I’m turned on by people noticing how good she looks. She deserves the compliments that are given with respect to both her and me as her husband. She has never given me even a slight reason to not trust her.
Am I missing something or is my friend just overly jealous?

You are the way a husband SHOULD be. Your friend is insecure and jealous and does not deserve a woman like your wife.

I dont know exactly in what context your friend (or ex friend) made that comment, so I really dont know. But congrats on your long marriage.

Most women who get dolled up for a date with their spouse are doing it for his benefit, not anyone else's. She's on your arm and going home with you. It's great that you don't feel the need to control her because of any insecurity on your part.

You're not missing anything and just keep it up and ignore your friend.

I dated a real beauty for about three years and I always loved it when we walked into a joint and all the men would be checking her out. I just smiled! Because I was the one who was sleeping with her!

Let 'em look!

Your friend sounds totally insecure. If he's married, I feel sorry for his wife. You, on the other hand, are a good man, a good husband, and you should keep doing what you're doing.

Ignore your friend. He sounds like one of those guys who blames women when they get too much attention, but if they don't try to look nice, blames them for "letting themselves go." I feel kind of sorry for his wife.

It doesn't sound like your wife is trying to solicit interest from other men or flirting with them, so just enjoy the fact that having her on your arm makes you feel proud. If you have been together since the age of 20, you are probably both doing something right.
