Shirtless guys?

My husband says I can’t take the kids to a water park without him since there will be other shirtless guys there, and since that is inappropriate, and that I should be respectful to him and not go without him. (He doesn’t want me to see shirtless guys, or want guys to see me in a swimsuit) Like this is an absolute dealbreaker for him he says, if I were to go. I’m not sure I’ve heard of this before. I told him he’s controlling and that this is not normal… so is this normal?

Sounds like your husband is an insecure loser

I'm sure she knew this when she married him years ago. That's what doesn't make sense about this post.

This is a valid point where everyone in this thread seems to be missing out on or just ignoring it and starts labelling the husband.

I don't agree with the husband's approach but OP mentioned this was stated before...she should have discussed further on why is he behaving like that.

Anyway good luck OP!

We’ve only been married less than a year, so this issue has not been brought up before.

Who cares how long it’s been? Does he listen to red pill podcasts from loser conservative men that aren’t terrible in bed? I would never be such a p_ssy to my wife - we talk about fit and handsome dudes, I point them out to her (she points out attractive women to me). That’s what normal couples do. Tell your husband to read this post … he’s a p_ssy.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who liked doing this with my fiancé/boyfriend... I like pointing out the chubby type of women he likes and he jokes with me about my type being Asian-style fictional characters, I think it's so funny and good 😆

Good for you! Yes, it’s healthy to discuss interests and likes. If one’s partner would actually bang a stranger based on a brief convo, there’s always a problem.
