[quote=Anonymous]DH here. Having trouble taking sides on this. Like others, I sense that there is more that led up to this and it wasn't just this discussion that caused the reaction.

OP, I think you over-reacted at his observation that he thought the woman was beautiful. I make similar comments to DW on occasion. ("Wow, your new co-worker's girlfriend is quite a looker, huh?") We've been married 20+ years. She doesn't take offense to such meaningless observations. (Though if I continued, "and I'd like to hold her down and slap that ass...", then she'd definitely object.)

That said, his response seems excessive and childish. But that also makes me wonder why. As a guy, I read his response as someone who feels (rightly or wrongly) that he's tired of being harped at and simply has had enough. I can't say if that's the case, but the way he acted suggests he thinks that. No one, DH or DW wants to feel as if they can't speak freely in front of the other without having their words parsed.

So, not sure really. It's your story told from your perspective. I'd be fascinated to hear his side.
