    I'm sorry to hear about your abusive relationship and glad this one is better. As everyone else said, all men (and many women) will look. The good ones do so discreetly but if he's at home watching TV he may not be as careful. Just trust his feelings for you and try not to let it bother you.

    If it's really getting to you and he's truly staring at these women (you're not just interpreting a glance or him following the storyline as him ogling) then have a heart to heart and tell him it's bothering you but you know it's your hangup. Ask him if he can help you out by trying to be a little more discreet with the staring.

    Echoing everyone else on it's natural to look. HOW he goes about it is what we're more concerned with. If he's making comments out loud about how hot she is or "look at that rack" sort of stuff that is HIGHLY disrespectful

    23 years in an abusive relationship and you come to the internet on how to handle your new relationship and feelings? You should be in therapy, you seem to recognize that your feelings are irrational (which is not saying they are invalid, just irrational) and not a reflection of his behaviour.

    You are in therapy right?

    Why is therapy always the answer?

    Why is therapy always the answer?

    Because she's having irrational feelings that as she states, have NO merit on the truth of his behaviour or actions AND she's out of a 23 year VERY ABUSIVE relationship as she states.

    I didn't say it was always the answer, but in this case with what looks like behaviours of her past relationship potentially affecting her current ability to process her existent relationship, therapy may not be a bad choice.

    That's all.

    I found therapy useful after a few years of an emotionally abusive relationship. I would consider it essential after a "23 year VERY ABUSIVE relationship."
