sorry for the double post

I hadn't realized that my comments had been requested.

If you two have talked about this on several occasions and he is still not getting a clue, then he may be denser than diamond regarding your feelings. However since the women he points out are of a certain type ("dolled up" in certain types of clothes) then prehaps he also misses when you used to dress and preen yourself this way before the reality of children and daycare set in. The fact that he still remembers and takes the time to compliment you is encouraging.

I also think that you also miss the days when you could be the one with your hair and nails done with clothes that didn't scream I have children. You incorrectly feel that these women are competition becuase of their situation they can afford these things, and this is certianly affecting your self esteeem. You need to do something to feel better about yourself. Might it be possible to find a little extra in the family budget for some pampering for you?

So there are two issues here that I can see. OP and her husband used to tell each other about attractive people they saw in their day to day lives and now that she is insecure in herself she resents that he still does it. The other is that SHE beleives that he thinks she is overweight.

Both could be solved with some honest conversation. Starting with wether or not he still finds her attractive and her perception with his thoughts on her weight. this could lead into how his comments on the women he sees is affecting her body image and her feeling of insecurity about it.

Another idea. Would it be possible to have some sort of movable partition in stadiums or concert venues that could be adjusted in response to actual events (e.g. if there's a 20-minute line for the women's room and no wait for the men's room, move the barrier to open up a couple of the stalls in the men's room for women.)

I don't know if that would work since even I don't like going into the men's room after an event has been going on for awhile, they can get disgusting. But I don't see why they don't allocate more space to women's bathrooms in the first place.

You only need hay if you are feeding an animal. For decorating or using as cover for grass seed get straw. Straw is much cheaper.

I'm with you. I've stopped admitting to it, though, because people are horrified. I've also never seen Heathers. Thank god for anonymous fora.

Ok "Footloose" I can let go, but you've never seen "Heathers"?

In my neighborhood the adults get nice tasty beverages.

On an episode of The Marriage Ref they panned flossing in front of the spouse so I've tried to be more respectful of his wishes since then.)

He has asked me not to masturbate in his presence. I wish I could.

We don't pee/poop in each other's presence. I barely ever need to pass gas so that's not an issue. He tries not to fart within my earshot but sometimes I hear from another room.

I don't groom my pubic area in his presence.
We don't clip nails in each other's presence.

I would never pick my nose in his presence. This is a funny thread. I really never knew other grown-ups pick their noses! I thought it was one of those embarrassing little kid things that I never outgrew (in private) and that I was the only one.

He doesn't want you to masterbate in front of him? I would think that most guys would enjoy and even get off on that.

Why not ask him to groom you below. He has the better angle
