My husband has knocked my confidence by blatantly eyeing up other women in front of me

DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN we’re out together, my husband can’t help blatantly eyeing up other women in front of me.

We recently went to dinner for our anniversary and, instead of having his attention on me, he spent the evening ogling a younger woman in a low-cut top.

I am 44, he’s 47 and has recently developed this irritating habit.

Every time it happens it knocks my confidence and I’m left wondering if I’ll ever be enough for him.

I’ve tried everything to keep his attention, from getting my hair and make-up done to buying sexy dresses, but his eyes always wander.

When I try to talk to him about it, he constantly dismisses me and tells me I’m being ridiculous.

Now my self-esteem is non-existent, and I’m worried it’s only a matter of time before he cheats or leaves me.

DEIDRE SAYS: Your husband is being careless and inconsiderate.

You’ve made it clear that the way he looks at other women upsets you, but he still does it anyway.

It’s no wonder that this is affecting your confidence and self-esteem, especially if he’s not offering you any kind of reassurance.

You have to set a boundary with him and tell him if he loves you he has to stop. Make it clear that if nothing changes you won’t stick around.

My support pack Raising Self-esteem will help you rebuild your confidence.
