Husbands: do you secretly compare your wife to other wives?

[Anonymous]

You seem to think that every quality a women possesses matters 1% and how fat she is and how often she lays you matters 99%.

Nah. 80/20, not 99%.

No idea. But my DH volunteers at the school about 2xs a year all day and always come home and says how grateful he is that I keep in shape and put effort into my appearance. He's always taken aback by the moms he sees at the school and how dumpy they are.

Sounds like you're perfect for each other.

...maybe they have more important things on their minds than dressing up to impress a bunch of preschoolers (/ your husband, I guess)?

If you were fat or denying him sex he wouldn't give a damn about your "professional wins".

I call BS. No matter how in shape I get or how much we have sex, my DH constantly complains I’m not as professionally advanced as him. No sh*t I’m not, he’s almost 10 years older than me.

That sounds really weird. What straight man cares about "professional advancement" in his woman? We care that you're not stupid and can hold a job, but that's about it on that front.

x 10.

Married man here. Wife is an ivy educated scientist with great career. That's cool and all but, tbh, it's her humor (and spectacular ass) that originally caught my attention.

Hopefully she still got that ass

They usually don't lose the ass. Though, all too often, it does get covered up by more ass.

AS they should to keep accountability in one's self

A real man cares about his wife and when she achieves something significant, whether within her professional life or outside it, he is proud of her.

I have just polled my dh on this provided list in your thread to see if I live up to expectations:

Men :

1. Sexual fulfillment
2. Recreational companionship
3. Physical attractiveness
4. Domestic support
5. Admiration

He blew into his finger-gun, as if he won a gun fight and I was the prize. So, even if he does compare me to other wives, the state of the Johnsons is strong.

That's embarrassing.

No kidding. I'd be incredibly disappointed if my husband came home and said such mean spirited things in the guise of propping me up.

Guise? What's he hiding? Propping up? He lied in an attempt to elevate her self worth?

What a terrible view you have. The man complimented his wife and thanked her for taking pride in her appearance as well as her fitness.
