    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?

    I would tell him "Shut up" but I am straight forward and my SO says I am a little mean spirited (he likes the abuse) but honesty couldn't hurt right?

    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.

    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.

    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.
