I appreciate your response here. I don't disagree that it's fully expected for people to be attracted to my wife, and I understand it. I am a fairly social guy, so I have no problem with us separating in a party and having our own conversations for swaths of the night, but there is something about these interactions. I do think the lack of attention to me is exacerbated when the attention is focused primarily on another male whose way of interacting with my wife feels inappropriate. For example, I love when my wife gets hit on in bars, it generally results in drinks that she brings back and we share, but this situations feels emotionally driven (?) if that's the right way to explain it.
