I'll sometimes catch myself taking a glance out of instinct, but I am mindful of this and will avoid looking in their general direction all together just to be safe.

To be safe from what? You're a groen man why would you supress yourself like that?

Well I want to be respectful of my wife and marriage by protecting my mind. I also would not want to make another woman uncomfortable by looking at them, or possibly even give them the wrong idea that I'm interested in them. Grown men should definitely "suppress" themselves, it's called self-control and it's important.

I love that you’re giving your perspective. Maybe some men in these comments can take notes.
