My best friend's husband has a staring problem. Every time we get together he is always staring at me. It makes me really uncomfortable and I told my best friend about it. She told him about it because she noticed him doing it to and he just denied it. We all went to dinner and he started staring at other girl in our group. He was staring so hard that he didn't even notice that everybody at the table was looking at him. My best friend had to bump him and he had the most embarrassing look on his face. Why do men stare at other women when they are with their girl? I think that is so disrespectful. Why do women always think that the man's girl is jealous when their man is looking at them? Am I wrong for telling her that she should leave him?

Hi beanniebaby, It`s normal for men to be like this. so don`t worry, ask your friend to put him in same condition. Ask her to looks to men too. Maybe like this he can understand!

I think that is totally disrespectful of him!! Men always look at other women, that's just part of nature but to stare at them and disregarding the woman that he is with is totally not acceptable. Your best friend should know that she deserves better and you were right to advise her to leave him.

See I'm mouthy enough I probably would confront him when he is doing it. Especially in a restaurant. I'd have to comment and tell him his behavior is rude and that he needs to learn a few manners and some respect. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. Sing it girl.... sorry, warped humor.

Staring is rude I don't care who you are, male or female, nor do I care why you are doing it! This is taught in Manners 101, did he miss the class? It seems men suffer from this more than women, or maybe I notice them doing it more often. I have been known to say "Excuse me, sir" and of course they give you the biggest grin as if to say, "I got her attention". Then I say "you do know that it is very impolite to stare don't you?" and they look at me so embarrassed and shocked that I would say that. But of course being men, they still try to capitalize on the moment and continue with talking to me, while I proceed to completely ignore them as if to say "sorry you blew it Mr. Rude Azz". So at every opportunity in front of the group, I would embarass him. Also this will prove to his lady and everybody else that its just not talk but he really is staring, being rude and disrespectly since his lady friend or wife is there. Beware that he will probally try to reverse it and say that you are the one that has the problem but the proof will be there.

I was told a long time ago and I have found it to be true, go with your gut feeling. You are not wrong. It doesn't matter what the reason is, he is doing it. Let's turn this around, and maybe your friend should set her man up and do this.. she should stare at someone else, and let him see her do it. Why did he have an embarrassing look on his face if he was innocent. It is obvious he is finding other women attractive or thinking about them in a way he doesn't want her to know about. Does he have a history of other relationships? What were their reasons for breaking up. Seems to me she has a bleak future with this guy.
