To Poster: you didn't explain your relationship with your husband enough. Does he tell you how beautiful you are? How sexy you are? How is your sex life? Does he encourage you to wear clothing to accentuate your figure? If not, then you may have a problem. You MUST communicate with him not of your insecurities but of your curiousness to what turns him on in a woman. Show him you love him enough to make an effort to please him but not so much of an effort that you end up changing who you are completely.

To Male Anon: As far as the "You have good taste in spotting hot girls, that's why you married me" suggestion - it will only work if it's true. Some men marry for other reasons. Some men even tell their wives that if they were a picky guy they never would have married her (and not during a fight where he might say something he doesn't mean - just during a normal conversation). Yes, there are men out there who will hurt the women they marry.

Best of luck to you!

Yes. All heterosexual men have lustful thoughts about young hot women. Any guy who tells you otherwise is a bold faced liar. Even your father, a role model for a future husband, used to size up your teenaged girlfriends.

Heterosexual men are genetically programmed to get aroused by the pretty curves and supple breasts of an attractive woman. Don't worry though, when a man reaches the age of death, the urges stop.

Now then.... as a wife you can either be needy, bitchy, and demanding, and try to control his every thought until you drive him away from you, OR you can let him enjoy looking at other beautiful women without guilt. By trying to control his thought processes you are proving to him just how insecure and needy you are inside. I think most guys would agree that needy, insecure, controlling women are a major turn OFF.

If you want to keep your man interested in you, the next time you catch him ogling a young hottie, mention to him that he has good taste in spotting hot girls, which is why he married you. You may want to point out some hotties to him also, I am sure he will find you more attactive by your own self confidence to do so.

naieve1 agony auntThat sounds like a typical guy to me, it is acceptable for people to "look around" but to a certain extent. Obviously when you confront him about these questions, it seems like he'll find a way to weasel himself out of it.

Maybe you should try giving him a taste of his own medicine: an attractive guy that just so happens to be around get all googly-eyed over him. If he tells you he doesn't like it, you should probably suggest that's what you feel for the multiple times he has done it. Or have you tried talking to him about your feelings? Ask him to put himself in your shoes and see how he would feel. That way you both can relate to one another and work something out. But don't come off too strong, otherwise it really shows your insecurity. Try to be understanding and patient.

Sure we can't help it if our boyfriends' or husbands' eyes roam around, there are a bunch of attractive people out there, but at the same time it should not happen enough to cause problems. I, too, would definitely be feeling insecure about myself if it happened a number of times. And even if they look at a girl for a second or two, you're the one walking away with him in the end. I hope you two talk to each other and work this out. Best of luck :)

Laura1318 agony auntYou seems to be getting paranoid which is causing you insecurity, anxiety, depression, and irrational fears.

All men have lust in their heart and their eyes will naturally zoom in when a sexy and beautiful girl comes into view.

You cannot force them to change because they are born that way and also due to their hormones.

The only way to cure this malady is not to marry a man .
