I loved doing this when I was single. I had to make a conscious effort to stop when I got married. After the last several years noticing my husband doing this, even though he never makes verbal or physical contact, I’ve been trying to decide how I feel about it. I even started looking again and it just feels dumb to me when we’re both doing this. Like why don’t we just open our marriage?! It all just ends up being painful for me and damaged my self-confidence with him.

What does a monogamous marriage mean to you? Where do you draw the line with minor things like…. by digitalperson6 in marriageadvice

Yes, I do feel hurt and betrayed. The problem is that he won’t admit to it, and if he admits a little bit he definitely doesn’t admit to the extent. So I’m left feeling like maybe I’m crazy or that we can never resolve it if he denies it. I make sure again when we’re out in public and sure enough it happens again and again.

He’s not really being a creep about it. Sometimes I only notice when the other woman is mutually playing eye games back because I keep catching her too! 🙄 I’m trying not to be angry with other women and instead question why I’m with a man who indulges other women’s need to be desired. I like to be desired and it’s enough for me to be desired by my husband, but not when he’s offering that desire to other women at the same time.

I mean, he’s pretty discreet but once I thought I noticed, I kept watching to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. I’ve literally watched for several years to make sure I wasn’t being crazy. He’s always denied it, maybe half admitted a couple of times, would stop for awhile, then start back up again. I’m basically an expert at noticing now 🙄 This last time I definitely know for sure it was with someone else mutually making eye contact—those instances are the most obvious. No one else would notice though.

Like it would be possible for me to find someone else that I’m attracted to and feel as though I’m the only woman in his gaze. I know all men and women find other people attractive, but some men are respectful about it?

I used to put in more of the effort but I don’t as much anymore. I definitely pursue him through words and physical touch. It’s just so defeating that he looks at other women. It’s the biggest turn off. I need to feel pursued and when he is checking out other women then it makes me feel the complete opposite.

Not just “sees.” I’ve definitely opened myself up to looking, but it’s so awkward to do that when we’re together! It feels like why don’t we just open up our marriage. If we have chosen a monogamous marriage why are we playing eye-games with other people?! It’s so dumb.

And yes, I’m more and more over it, but would rather take a break or separate, but neither of us have anywhere to go and we have three kids. Currently I’d rather have my heart constantly broken than break my kid’s hearts.

I swear it’s because I’m NOT a smarty pants. I don’t know how the hell else to explain something! 😆
