Yes, definitely. I'd start preparing for it and an eventual divorce. Very gross. I would not want to live this way.

The issue is that day to day, I cannot do that nor think I should have to. Curled lashes, foundation, blush and lipstick should be enough.

I am not unattractive and even notice men look at me and engage when out running errands etc.. Not often but enough to know that I still got it.
I have already done things like get new lingerie, get dolled up more, but can’t exactly throw on heels and short dress when my daily responsability is lugging around a toddler.
I decided to go to the party and will use that time as the perfect opportunity to call him out immediately (will pull him aside, of course). I am prepared to call an Uber and come home alone to make my point very clear.

Personally, the last thing I would want to do is get dolled up and have sex with a guy who is so brazenly disrespectful and gross. I hate when people say that's the solution to marital problems because it seems so....rape-y. If I was on a first date with a guy who openly checked out women, I wouldn't have sex with him in hopes that he'd stop, that would be crazy.

Look I agree with you, but letting your hair grow and wearing hills once in a while is NOT a big deal. She should not do it so he will stop looking around, but because he misses seeing her like that. Is it bad if I ask my DH to wear a certain shirt one day that I like, or cut his hair or let his beard grow a little? I don’t think so. So why it’s bad to wear hills for a date night or get your hair done? She would just be showing that she still cares that he finds her attractive. I don’t think his wondering eyes have anything to do with what the wife wears or her hair lenght, but he expressed that he would like to see her dolled up every once in a while... why not? For the sex part, twice a month is VERY little. Again, nothing to do with the home sband’s wondering eyes and rude comments, but I can’t imagine DH is happy with that little intimacy. BTW I also have little kids and currently pregnant with #3 so I get it. I always want to be comfortable and never have time to get my hair done. But if DH asked for something like that, I would try to do it right away.
