Is it weird for a married man to chat up women and pet their dog?

Often you come off as pathetic. There is an unhappily married woman in my neighborhood who attempts to flirt with the more attractive men who live nearby. She completely ignores how horrified and uncomfortable they are when she starts her inappropriate attempts. It's so cringe. I would describe her as an insecure attention seeking drama freak.

I would describe you as the jealous DW.

Same goes for running errands, jogging, when walking our dog, or at a beach.

Am I crazy for wanting my husband to stop doing this? I'm not insecure, I just think it might be perceived to kind of weird and pushy, and also, were I a single woman I'd assume a random attractive man trying to chat me up is flirting and hitting on me, right?

That is weird for sure. In my 30 years of happy marriage, my husband has never chatted up a woman and "petted her dog". However it helps that I am extremely attractive, fit and slim for my age and have a fun personality.

Your personality sounds so fun!

Well, it’s better he pet her dog than her kitty…, sorry couldn’t resist.

It's this. But that's a bit mysterious for many DCUM users, going by the many comments by posters who have literally no idea how to interact with people around them in life.

It's not being nice when your friendliness is only directed towards attractive women. Stop with the gaslighting.

A solo handsome dandy man being friendly to male strangers could be perceived to be fishing gay/DL man.

My objectively attractive husband walks our dogs and is frequently hit on. I thinks it is hilarious.

I wouldn’t think anything of him talking to a woman with a dog.

Men should not talk to women. Have they learned nothing from #metoo? You need to get your DH under control.

No.

Sounds like your husband loves dogs, is extroverted, and is charming.

+100! Men will sleep with anyone. It does not matter if the woman is attractive or not. It only matters if the woman is willing. This is why smart women do not let their DH or boyfriend talk with another woman. How many times have you heard about a man cheating and then saw who the woman was and you are like …he cheated with her! Men just do not care.

Forbidding your husband from talking to women is abuse.

My husband is very social and a dog lover. He will chat up anyone - any age or gender - walking a cute dog. I’d be bothered if he was only talking to attractive women with cute dogs, but again, he will talk to anyone.

I have a friend with a Cane Corso who literally stops traffic when she is walking him. My friend is pretty, but the dog is stunningly beautiful. Everybody wants to pet him and take photos of him.

I don’t think what your has and doing is anything out of the norm . I am a married women and I do that all the time. I like both dogs and cats but find having dog pet too high maintenance for me. So if I see cute dogs I go up and pet them and talk to the owner.

However, if it make you uncomfortable 😣, ( or if it makes my DH uncomfortable) , I d avoid doing it infront of him. It’s not something I d fight for.

Nothing wrong with talking to beautiful women.
