Me neither, but I just shrug it off. I am by no means the standard for "normal" so I won't fault anyone who has a foot fetish or some other fetish I don't share or understand.

OP, I think you need to leave this issue as a workplace issue. If she is outside the accepted workplace standards then let the workplace deal with it. You appear nagging by bringing it up. If it truly bothers you, don't hide behind the pretense of concern for her standing in the workplace. Man up and communicate openly with the woman you say you are ready to marry. Tell her it bothers you. Share your concerns. Listen to hers. See if there is middle ground. If there isn't, well, make sure you get a pre-nup.

Would that justify "looking away" from my feelings as well?

Keep your mouth shut, obviously. You let her know how you feel. She doesn't want to change. The end. You let it go.

OP, if you can't respect, or at least accept her choices, she's not the girl for you. Conversely, if she's not concerned with your feelings, (not to mention: her employer's requirements) then the fact is [NOW HEAR THIS], she's just not that into you. Clearly, she's into your bank account. But she's not into you. The sad truth. And you're not into who she is as a person, either. You're saying that having her as a wife would cause problems; her carelessness about dress code at work would risk taking down the household economy and would be a source of conflict.

Explain to us, please, why you seem bent on marrying this person??? You like the pretty toes?

Review my posts. I made your options clear. You either go with the flow, or you move on to someone who's more mature and sensible. Your call.

If I was a guy I would never date a woman who talked about "looking fabulous." That is what drag queens say.

Now wait... didn't someone say those feet looked rather "manly"?

This OP is looking weirder and weirder...!

Mister RuPaul, is that you?

I think it justifies you growing a pair because your hurt feels are a complete mountain out of molehill. I can promise nowhere near as many guys as you think are tugging one out when they get home thinking about your girl's feet.

And whether you like it or not, a girl is going to show off her feet if they are pretty. There's nothing you can do about it so pick your hurt feels wisely.

Just a regular guy looking for advice on the Internet really.

I guess the "manly" thing is subjective. lol
