Dear Annie: My husband and I are both in our mid-60s and retired. He has a habit that is really starting to irk and hurt me the last few years.

When we’re out together and he sees attractive women, he always looks twice at them. He apologizes but then, after a couple of weeks, does it again! I have told him, repeatedly, that it is disrespectful and that if I don’t do it for him anymore, he should go get what he is looking for — but that he shouldn’t expect to be able to come back afterward.

He says that I’m jealous and immature. I say that he should know better. What do you say? — Weary of Watching Him Watch Them

Dear Reader: Leering is one thing; just looking is another. If your husband is merely taking quick second glances at women, let it go. It’s normal — healthy, even — to take momentary notice of attractive people. It doesn’t mean he finds you any less attractive. As long as he’s being faithful to you, physically and emotionally, that’s what matters.
