Did your spouse ever get a big head after being called “attractive” by someone else?

Some hipster-pretending, Southern Florida rag newspaper decided to print a list of “Florida’s Hottest Pols” and my wife, who is running for District Attorney in our small county, made the list. She was ranked No. 39 out of 40.
It read, in part, “Watch out for this Central Florida firecracker. Claire _____, 40, not only earned her stripes as a much-feared defense attorney, representing some of the state’s meanest mob bosses, but also she is known to wear stilettos in in the courtroom with her trademark black business suits with short skirts, giving her a decided advantage with ‘hung’ juries. Oh, mama! The 5-5 buxom brunette is running a slash-and-burn campaign against a 30-year-incumbent, calling him everything from a draft dodger to a pedophile. If she doesn’t win the election, she’d be a natural to play the role of hot dominatrix.”
Somehow my wife found this flattering. The article doesn’t even mention the kids or me. Now she’s acting even more uppity than usual.
Last night, we were at a political fundraiser, and she seemed to shy away from me whenever the photographer came around. I think she didn’t want to be photographed with me.
Frankly, I think she’s living in some alternative universe. I’m pretty in-shape and look great for my age.
Does your spouse think he/she is better looking than you? Does he/she get a big ego when complimented on looks?
I truly dislike your wife.
I’m just saying…
never happened to me but hopefully it’ll wear off soon, and she’ll remember she should really only care that YOU think she’s hot.
Woo HOO!
Sorry.
No, I don’t have that problem. I’m sure it’s just a phase. It’ll pass. If not, look on the bright side…you’re married to a 40 year old MILF.
tell her to get her head out of her arse!!!
oh he does!! But last Saturday at my cousin wedding everyone was telling me how great i looked for my age! which it was nice cause it is always nice getting complimented on! my husband has always been the one the girls made a big deal about so i know how it feels, so hey it was nice to get treated really good first it was with just my family and some cousin that did not know i was there cousin! they were like okay how come we never seen her well it is because the last time i was around them they were very young so they did not remember me! but when the DJ started flirting back with me in front of my husband that was not very good for him! well it feels good but i do not leave my kids or my husband out of anything and I always like them to know i am a grandma to it make them go omg that is really great that u are one and still look good for being a grandma! and i love the look on there face when i tell them i am a grandma! But your wife only thinks about her self i have no idea why she would treat u that bad when u should remind her that she was number 39 out of 40 maybe that will snap her out of herself! you will get yours and your wife won’t like it when u do!!!!
Sounds like Claire doesn’t know how to handle any sort of flattery. Have you ever complimented her much? – because she’s acting like she’s not accustomed to this kind of attention. I noticed the article didn’t really compliment her looks, though, as much as it did her sexuality and her political prowess. I get the impression that you are more physically attractive than she is, and that every little thing is going straight to her head right now. Personally, I think Claire needs psychological help because inside she is really not the person she is on the outside. I think she is insecure and scared inside and covers it up with this tough, shallow, all-for-me act of hers.
I have never let any compliments, flattery or attention go to my head. I know I’m attractive, but I know there’s a lot of attractive people out there. That alone does not make me special. It’s who I am inside that really matters. My husband doesn’t even think he’s that attractive, even when I tell him. He is not one to get a big head over that, anyway. I know he thinks that I’m more attractive than he is. He’s always calling me “beautiful,” but I think he is attractive.
My EX husband always got off on compliments from others on his looks. He still does to this day. My boyfriend now is always telling me how beautiful I am, etc etc, but my ex husband never did. I regularly heard about the woman who came into his work that “looked just like Victoria Beckham”, or the 2 blonds that came in on a regular basis just to “see his ‘to die for’ good looks”. It was disgusting then and still is today. He couldn’t, and still can’t, pass a mirror without stopping to check himself out. I understand where you are coming from. Its hard to deal with a spouse that is/becomes so into themselves that you feel phased out. I have been there. I understand how nice it is to get complimented on your looks, but as someone who is running for a position as a public official, and as a lady, she should have known how to gracefully accept the compliment, and move forward in life as if nothing had changed. Her reaction, and behavior since, to this recognition tells you a lot about the kind of person she is on the inside. All I can tell you is to talk to her. Maybe she hasnt even realized what she is doing, if you are lucky. I confronted my ex husband. And the result was the “ex” in front of his former title as my spouse. Maybe things will turn out better for you. I wish you the best of luck.
i thought u said your wife was a fat smoker and drinks alot and the newspaper called her hot? what gives here?
NO.!!!
and he better not..!!
if he does that to me (behave the way your wife does).. i make sure he go hungry for weeks without my home made goodies..
No food and drink for him !!
No clean and well iron cloths for him ..!!
and.. he will have to clean his own house and look after his own kids..!!!
Why would the article mention you or your kids? It wasn’t about being a mom or being a wife, it was about being hot. I think you are finding things to complain about.
