I agree with the "looking is okay, but gawking is not" comment. My ex-husband used to say things like, "I wouldn't kick her out of bed!" right in front of me. Then he'd blame me for not being sexy enough. "Well, I wouldn't make comments if you'd take better care of yourself." Talk about a self-esteem crusher! Oh, and it wasn't the same the other way around. If I said something even slightly mild about a good-looking guy, it caused major problems!

You're right it isnt......but if this thread is about you letting your SO look at another as long as they dont touch then my guess its more than a glance. And thats disrespectful....


Chances are you dont spend that much time with your SO that you cant admire chicks/guys when you arent with them. Be respectful, pay them attention, give them compliments when youre with them.

Yes, it is important to do that but that doesnt mean that I cant express myself without acting ignorant. And talk about grace, tact, and class HE should have some and not checking out out females. Trust, anybody I am with knows what appropriate and whats not to me. So I dont have these problems.

People don't window shop if they're not planning on buying. If he wants to shop around, he's free to leave.

I like this saying , It is very good . I think you have a good wife .
There is also saying " If the man isnt bad , woman wont love him ." so men see other woman is a normal thing , you can not cover his eyes , every day there are many people passed around you , It is imporssible if you dont see others .
every one likes the beatiful things , you cant stop from them seeing , so give him free as long as they can have a level in their mind .

In this context I agree with you, but I like real window shopping.

My Dw does not care if I look. I try to not be obvious with my looking.

I try to avoid looking, as looking tends to be a momentary thrill but it leads to heightened frustrations.

I am certain that my Dw does not look at men.

lol.....when I read the title of this post I heard Al Pacino in the devil's advocate lol......

Anyway ~ is looking different than ogling and staring? Because there are different levels, everyone is human so it is completely normal to "look" however; it is completely disrespectful to your wife/husband and the person you are admiring if that "look" turns into a strait stare or an oogle.....

We can't stop another person from looking, but I think there is a big difference between looking and openly lusting after someone while out with me. There is, to me, an obvious line between feelings and actions. To openly stare, ogle, scope out another person when out with your SO is not only disrespectful, imo, it is also damaging to the relationship. A dealbreaker for me.

Default Go ahead and look

He can look all he wants.. I even laugh when one takes him by surprise....sometimes I'll poke him in the arm and say..."excuse me! Wife! sitting right here!"

He would never do anything so I'm secure in his love for me.

If you trust him or her with everything you've got, let em look.
