ADVICE

Set Clear Boundaries And Require Proof

  • If your partner's behavior makes you uncomfortable, name the boundary and ask for concrete changes like deleting apps or changing behavior.
  • Live in the tension and require proof of improved behavior instead of vague promises.
INSIGHT

Appreciation Versus Objectification

  • Noticing someone attractive is natural, but there's a distinct line between appreciation and objectifying, disrespectful gawking.
  • Turning an appreciative glance into full-on staring crosses into disrespect toward both your partner and the person observed.
ADVICE

Address Past Wounds And Present Behavior

  • Ask whether your discomfort comes from current behavior or old wounds and then address both parts directly with your partner.
  • Work on self-worth while also insisting on respectful conduct from your spouse.
