Kill him its the only choice

BrainyBurro

I get that all the time. Just make their day and smile back at them. It doesn't hurt anyone (including your ego). As for your husband, just remind him that those girls are right....if you tell him enough, maybe he won't need to hear it somewhere else. Sounds harmless enough to me.

^ This makes good sense. I'd go with this one, OP. Your poor husband clearly needs more attention.

Shut up.

just break up™

better to be whistled at than moo'd.....

insert loud laughing....

hey she has a point

Hold the beer, steak, ice cream and bacon hostage,

Look, I can understand the whole break up, take his money, kill him stuff, but what you've suggested here is cruel and unusual. Your suggestion is bad, and you should feel bad!

As for the cat calls you recieve I would just keep walking and ignore the idiots doing them. That is truly disrespectful for anyone to do to another person. If someone wants to give you a complement, they should do so in a respecful manner. First by asking your permission if it's okay to do so. And you have to consider how your husband would feel if someone did so. Think of how you feel with him being complemented. Now as for your husband being complemented, if this truly bothers you. You should be able to be honest with your husband and tell him how it makes you feel. If you can't be totally honest with each other, then there is at least some trouble in the marriage.

You don't have too many choices, really breaking up may be your best one.

Or you could try to systematically crush his ego. Maybe shrink his jeans?

I tried that once. They just shrank in the front, were too tight on his jumblies, and it made him strut around like a cowboy. Fun times that was. He even told the lady at the jeans store where his jeans were too tight and why he needed new ones.

Post of the day!!

I think your only option here is to start going topless around the neighborhood, until you have received more catcalls than him.

He should have flagged them down and invited them to the house to frolic in the lawn sprinkler.

I live about a mile from the gym, and some days, it's really nice to just take a walk home after a hard workout.

Well, today it was kind of annoying to me because of cat calls. There were three of them yelling out from a convertible Mercedes, whistling, making gestures and just plain being obnoxious!

This kind of behavior makes me wonder how kids are being raised to think this is appropriate behavior toward a middle-aged person.

The worst part is that my husband has been bragging about these three young ladies all day. He's been giggling and grinning and telling me how "flattered" he is about being called "hey handsome!" or some such.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get him to shut up about it already?

Maybe he's not getting the compliments or ego-boosting that he craves at home?

Exactly!! If he is bragging about other people saying it, it means you aren't. Especially since you want him to keep his clothes on! Give him some attention and be secure enough in yourself that someone can whistle at you and you think damn right!!
As for society, you can't change it you can only focus on your home and community.

I have tried nagging him about wearing a shirt, but the more I tell him how it isn't appropriate to go around shirtless all the time, the more he goes around shirtless all the time.

Turnabout is fair play. You must set an example for him and see how much he likes it when you go around shirtless all the time. And not just once or twice either, make a good habit of it until he has seen the error of his ways. That'll teach him!

This is it (in my humble opinion) because, if he does get the attention at home that's another story

Really divorce? Over catcalls? Get even though.

This is MFP! (In my this is Sparta voice)

People here get divorced over text messages all the time.

This made me laugh..
