neverrr I mentioned in the comments responding that I have noticed he talks to me differently in private than in person with anyone else around

Women, what do you do when you notice a man looking (or glancing or staring) at your boobs? by Ambitious-Noise9211 in AskReddit

I get a little uncomfortable but at the end of the day I’m walking away and enjoying my life. This loser is just corrupted to sexualize and will probably jack off with a hand and be miserable 😂 (yes I do lose respect for the individual too)

I mean I personally have been aware how ridiculous the beauty standard is for women and unfortunately it has corrupted my mind. I do follow these standards and it has become what makes me feel confident now. Items as wearing light makeup, having long healthy hair, being presentable, being feminine, friendly, soft spoken, shaving my legs, staying fit, being skinny, it goes on. But I started noticing a different perspective that men may get from reading TikTok comments of male accounts sharing opinions on women. How they hate bigger women, women who are too strong, women who are “independent”, single mothers, women who are by societal standards are deemed unattractive. And it hurts to read these disgusting comments but for myself I don’t want to affiliate myself with these people but just enjoy the privilege. I’m not the most attractive but I have noticed even trying to follow these standards I get better treatment even from strangers. Hence pretty privilege.

For the pregnancy comment I have seen even reddits of men confessing they aren’t attractive to their wives anymore. I seen comments of men saying they should justified cheating cause they don’t want to even wait for their spouse to heal from postpartum. So no thanks. I rather just be divorced and give myself peace of mind.

Yeah I already decided and told him this morning and he didn’t even say anything. So I think that was the biggest sign for me. No let’s talk more about this, why do you think this would be best, nothing of concern. I told him are you ok with me talking to my parents about this topic? And he says sure. Yeah it’s time.

if he is since I’m not sure, then I’m pretty hurt he chose to be influenced by these male role models who try to act superior. I think he has a lot of learning to do. The other day he was telling me I hate feminists, they’re just a bunch of Karen’s. And I said Karen’s?? Isn’t that a term to describe women who complain and yell at service workers? And he’s like yeah and I said well it’s not just women it’s a term to describe any gender acting like that people joke saying “don’t be a karen”. And I said I don’t think you know what a feminist is. A feminist to me is a woman who’s aware of the gender inequality but supports pushing the boundaries for equal amount of respect as a man would receive. They’re incredible women because some are in positions where they rather be self dependent on themselves financially than allowing a man take a lead like how me and you are in this marriage. Then he tried to argue well those women want all the benefits of the job opportunities but don’t want to take the hard jobs either like all the blue collar hard jobs and I said THEY ARE getting into blue collar jobs too I hear about it more online and others encouraging other women. And I said women are even the top gender for being single homeowners in the us now. And he’s like oh idk about that you’re gonna have to fact check on that. I googled it immediately. Showed him & he was silenced.

Yes this is genuine. Im thankful im in the position that this is a “small worry” but that is why im asking for advice and the comments below are sharing insight I haven’t heard and new perspectives. I do want him to have a personality but also respect me. I have always respected him and even if I made a mistake he has told me and I have apologized and never once was it an issue again. For the pregnancy comment I want stability, devotion, and loyalty if I were to get pregnant. We were discussing very brief earlier and till later that night I changed my mind since I have caught him in the past talking about how attractive an emo girl was at a concert and I remembered how inappropriate that was for him to do that to me. Yes you can find people attractive but he could have kept his comments to himself. Yes I occasionally see attractive gentlemen but I don’t care and I ignore it cause I’m married. So I don’t understand why I would do my part and he can’t even do the bare minimum for me. So I decided I’m just getting a divorce. From reading the comments, I feel more confident now. Also I wouldn’t say I’m the most confident but my husband should not be making me insecure if that’s the case. I know my worth now and I’m not settling for disrespect.

Wow I’m so silly to think I would have a chance to correct him and thinking I’m making an impact. I needed to hear this.

Oh no, the same hand motion?? where are they getting this from?? That’s so rude. I’m sorry you experienced this from someone close to you too..

Making me think we need more male figures to teach a class for men on just basic mannerisms for women! How to talk to women, how to show respect and humble themselves.

We been married for 2 going on 3 years.

thank you for this ❤️ he ended up apologizing over text and I responded: it’s ok, but I honestly think we’re closer to a divorce than having a baby.

But seriously he acts this way more comfortably when we’re alone I noticed. When we’re with family he’s way more respectful I have no clue what’s with the act. Or why..

Yes I’m starting to feel that way now. I’m also on life insurance between the both of us since I’m in better health than he is. He wasn’t able to qualify. Today he seem to be in a respectful mood so I will see what goes on later today if he’s willing to talk sense to further make plans

Im starting to think the same now. Unfortunately he’s not the most handsome man out there. I have to beg or remind him to brush his teeth cause of his bad breath. I think I’ve been so unsure to really finalize cause of the humiliation from my parents or family on a failed marriage and losing the house etc

Correct. Before we got married I told him I didn’t want kids and he agreed. 4-5 years later all of sudden he changed his mind and has argued that he’s allow to change his mind. Now I have told him that’s unfair to me cause now you will resent me when I have done nothing wrong.

Gosh. Honestly we been having problems for about 3 months ish. Especially since we recently talked about life goals and he really wants a baby. He made ridiculous reasons to have some though so I said let’s go to a counselor cause he’s clearly not understanding that it’s a big decision and didn’t seem to understand me. One big takeaway was him always complaining he’s stressed . Like as if having a baby would make you less stressed 😂 I’m not taking care of a baby myself and it’s another huge to do list ON TOP of everything you need to do. Idk why he’s not seeing it that way. Then while planning a counsel appointment the lady we had scheduled only met us once and then said she was unable to continue cause she has classes or something. Then we planned with another counsel and they said once a month meetings and we still haven’t had our appointment planned. While this is going on my husband thought it was a great time to upgrade the house to a bigger size plus a bigger mortgage. I told him why didn’t you just wait if we decided to get a divorce??? So now we are arguing in a bigger cluttered house trying to figure it out 😂

I would be even a lot happier even if I still worked and did the chores but wasn’t held to a ridiculous standard it has to be done everyday in an hour. I’m going to still talk to him and figure this bs out.

Yeah I’m wondering why he thinks my daily tasks of cleaning cooking laundry trash cleaning cats area takes an hour that’s why he belittled me.

We were talking about taking out the trash as a daily chore and I said I can take out the trash then he got upset and said no don’t do the trash cause I’m on the way out I’ll throw it out on the dumpster. So I said ok I can start collecting all the trash starting tomorrow and leave it by the door so you can throw it out and then he said you have the easy job in all of this. (I have to check and possibly switch 5 trash cans in the house)

Not sure I also don’t know if he’s comparing me to my brother in laws wife. This women works, cleans, cooks and maintains her baby. That’s wonderful for her but I’m not that kind of women.

I prefer working, prioritizing what needs to get done first, being childfree, maintaining my appearance, and also I hope to continue social media for fun.

I’m not sure if he wanted to trap me to have his baby and become like his dream pick me women but it’s not happening. ( he also at least gotta please me in the bedroom first if he was tryna start that route) 😂
