If he carries on despite your requests then I think you have your answer. He doesn't care what you think and his mind is well and truly elsewhere. We can make excuses for men "they can't help it they're just being men" but really it is completely down to respecting the person you are with and growing up about that. End of. If he doesn't respect you then you have to question at what point that is going to seriously affect your self esteem. How long do you want to be with an immature man? A lot of women are with men who simply know better than to act like that. Men with manners do exist!

Of course he notices beautiful women, as I do men, but he himself finds such a behavior disrespectful to both of us. What you say doesn't sound like a new problem. My guess is that he was like that even before the baby. You knew what you were getting into. If you were thinking that having a child would somehow make him more serious, respectful and caring, you were wrong. Children do not solve problems. They are like a magnifying glass, once you have them the problems you tried to ignore become too obvious.You could try talking to him and explain that teh way he acts is not only demeaning to you but him as well. If he doesn't get it, than you'll know where you stand.Being normal doesn't mean to look away it means treating the ones you love with respect. Starting from yourself.

 You can continue to endure your angst... Or, you can continue to have a "boyfriend".....
I once dated a girl - similar to you - who told me that the only acceptable way to be near - in eyesight of - a woman was to look away.... I asked her, "you mean, even if it would be impolite to look away from, and ignore her?".... and she said, "Yes,"
I dumped her jealous a$$ shortly thereafter.. and never looked back....
good luck...

You need to tell him what he is doing is upsetting. Or you highlight how bad it makes you feel by commenting on all men you see and see how he likes it. He's being a complete dick, don't let him think it's acceptable women aren't just something for him to stare at. It's bad to you and to the women he's doing it to because it reveals a bit if an attitude thay women are objects for his enjoyment or whatever. They are not x

Its difficult to put up with a situation like this-however as you say all men look at women-but your boyfriend is pushing it to the limit with his insentive behavour when you are with him.Its time to have a serious indept chat with him about this and tell him exactly how you feel when he acts this this where other women are in view.I know you have a child and your with him for 3 years.Maybe it might be a good idea to ask him where this relationship is going.[that is if you want it to go to the next level]Or how serious he is about the relationship as it is now.These are questions you might consider asking him Best wishes NORA B.

I would talk to him about it and let him know how hurtful his staring is. And see what he says. If he doesn't care and keeps doing it then maybe start thinking about if he's the right guy for you.
