While I realize my FWH is going to notice other women and find some attractive, is it ok that he glances more than once? I seem to be noticing this and I don't know if I'm making something out of nothing or not, yes I have lost alot of self esteem since finding out about his ons. Is this ok?

when my husband, the venerable Mr Pep, glances at another woman ...

I lick his earlobe ... and moan

that pretty much changes his focus back to me

and ... if I were to glance with admiration at some dude ... while Mr Pep was next to me ... if Mr Pep licked MY earlobe ... he'd be rewarded later ... you'bet'cha'booties

in other words ... ACT in a way that gets YOU the results YOU want ... don't just have an emotional reaction to what H does ... and internalize stuff to hurt yourself more

make him YOUR MAN
with loving actions

Thanks girls I like that. I just don't want to make something out of something not there. I know it started when I found out about his ons. I guess anymore I don't know what is normal and appropriate and what's not. It does bother me when I see him look at someone a few times, they are quick glances but don't really know what's behind it. I try to ask and usually he denies even seeing the person or he'll say I saw them but didn't pay attention. Well thanks for your input. I worry about what he does when I'm not there.
