Would you be bothered if your partner got a lot of attention?

Question

Some people see it as flattering… others start to feel uneasy over time. If your partner naturally got a lot of attention, how would you honestly feel? Especially if they weren’t flirting back or entertaining it?

No that one of the best feeling in the world.. if you stand back and watch how they carry themselves how they handle things .
When they sat they love you they mean it. They also know how much attention they get and they think about what it might look like so they do something always to reinsurance you you are the one
Just because they get attention doesn't mean that they like it
If you know who you are , and if you know who they are , it doesn't bother you , you kind of look at it and smile because you know , everything's going to be okay

If I can't trust my partner then I have no business being with them. I obviously also see the amazing person they are if they're my partner and will be glad to see others celebrating it too.

When it comes down to it, no matter how much attention my partner gets, they've chosen to be with me and I with them and that's what matters.

It wouldn't bother me at all. My ex got a lot of attention when we were at his bar with friends but that didn't mean for a second his attention on me would go away. He managed to still keep me feeling like I was his center of the universe as cheesy as that sounds lol

He does and no.

DishLady · Answer

I’m used to being with high profile people who get attention on media etc. I’m photographed often but prefer to stand back from media etc. bc folks in the media love to twist reality around just to make a buck.

If you mean attention from the opposite sex… within reason it’s ok as long as he remembers who his girl is…

HawkPerception · Answer

I wouldn't mind guys eyeing her. And they can compliment her too. If she's beautiful, she's beautiful. I'm not gonna hide her away from the world. But what I won't tolerate in a relationship is if my partner doesn't respond saying that she's in a relationship and partakes in flirtatious behaviour with others.

I don't mind my partner getting attention. But I want respect.

rachel776 · Answer

i grew up around people who get a lot of attention, and i work for people who get a lot of attention, and now i have a fiancé who gets a lot of attention (which i knew going in), so i am not nonplussed by it. when people who are not used to it come around, they fall to pieces and make it awkward for everyone

Phoenix98 · Answer

As long as she wasn't reciprocating it, entertaining it or anything like that then I guess it'd be fine.

The only annoying thing would be the occasional douchebags that would intentionally try to steal her away, make a scene knowing I'm right there. That would be a mild annoyance I'm not gonna lie.

Iron_Man · Answer

When I go out with my girlfriend if I had a girlfriend I don’t want guys staring at her trying to talk to her because then I’ve gotta be her official bodyguard and I’m not gonna put up with it when I go out I wanna have peace and enjoy my evening with her. I’ve never had a problem before, but my former girlfriend these two guys were drunk and they’re being disrespectful and I almost had a fist fight with them at a restaurant many years ago in the mountains when I was on vacation they basically ruined the whole night for us. We were so upset. We didn’t even bother staying, but we got over it, but they left before we did.

Nikki1989 · Answer

Nah. I love it that my husband is popular.

bobalife · Answer

No cap, I’ll be a jellybelly if other women get flirty and starred too hard on my person. It also depends on my person’s reactions to it.
But if we’re talking about my person having the spotlight for their charms, personality, or being amazing… I would love that for them, root for them; be proud, and let them enjoy it.

madhatters4 · Answer

I've been in relationships where my partner got a lot of attention. heck for two years a dated a girl who modeled, so she got plenty of attention, and it wasn't a problem

In my relationships I tend to be confident that the person i'm with is with me and attention from others isn't going to change how they feel about me. if i felt they were going to change how they felt about me/us because they got attention from other people i wouldn't date them

Maybe_Maybe_not · Answer

So far, I haven't been with a girl who likes getting attention, they all described attention as something ranging from a little annoying to sickening. So I'm automatically upset, by default, when you make me imagine her getting a lot of attention 😂

ElenaSeluna · Answer

I was never really bothered because I knew my ex-husband was an attractive guy, and women would sometimes even flirt with him when we were together. I even found it funny at times, especially since he never reciprocated. On the other hand, he would get extremely jealous if he thought or felt someone was even looking at me when we were out, and if he noticed attention coming my way, he might immediately want to leave the place, he did that a few times😄

Natasha1995 · Answer

Trust is everything. It's the foundation of every stable relationship.

Bricealan · Answer

@7phoenix7 I know and have known couples like that, where the woman got a lot of unsolicited attention from men, and the woman already was an ego maniac. The marriage did not last long. I have had girlfriend's that got a lot of attention from other men, but she handled it like she should and we stayed together for a long time

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

Yea but not enough to trip about it or blame her for it but enough to stomp out the people that are being thirsty in my mind a few times, that of course doesn't count people that just stare, staring is normal, I mean people that catcall and stuff, which I wouldn't like

lilBigPotato · Answer

Nope. Just confirms that I made a good catch.

WonderingManII · Answer

Let's say I was able to date a Woman who has a very very attractive body, and she posted bikini pictures on instagram and youtube before meeting me. I would need to be at peace with the fact that she is going to get more attention than me. But at least I got her, and they don't. Of course this will never happen for me, but I can wish for it.

queenofcardio · Answer

At some point it will start to annoy me depending on how he handles it.

exitseven · Answer

I am secure enough that it would not bother me but maybe it depends on why she is getting all the attention.

Anonymous · Answer

No, unless it bothered her. But it would depend on her response to it. Relationships are about respect. Respect to her, and respect to him. A good woman is going to attract attention that's just the way it is. But a good woman does not disrespect her partner. If she gives me no reason to doubt her loyalty to me, then there is no problem.

OneViewpoint · Answer

I trust you. You do whatever you want. I'll respond accordingly. Sound fair?

FreyaRed · Answer

Depends on kind of attention. Epstein or Trump attention isn't something a spouse or partner wants or needs

Drumlin2001 · Answer

Depends how they handle it. If they shut that shot down straight away being clear they are taken then it's not that bad. If they play along for an ego trip I would be annoyed

MemeSupreme · Answer

its okay if anyone likes him as long as they dont do too much

LazerBean · Answer

Of course not, I can't be mad at a woman for having good taste.

MrChinaski · Answer

I would be happy for them.  Especially  if they enjoyed flirting back. Their happiness makes me happy too.

Amur8711 · Answer

It depends on how she responds. It is a compliment to her and to myself. Its a compliment to me because she chose me. but if she started playing into the attention it start to bother me and question if she still chooses me.

RavVid · Answer

There is a difference between your girl getting attention and wanting attention.

AgentG111 · Answer

If it's unwanted attention then I would step in.

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Wouldn't bother me one bit unless a man crosses a line she shouldn't cross with her.

dragoblack · Answer

It honestly depends on how my partner reacts to being given attention.

Twalli · Answer

I used to say no, then she kissed another guy. Now I'm a bit more nervous.
