Search Results: should i wait for her her husband

As a mother of two who plans on having at least one more child, I'd like to know if you think it's safe to breastfeed in public? I definitely plan on breastfeeding my third child just as I did my other children, but after a negative experience in public, I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable or appropriate breastfeeding in a public area again. I was in the park breastfeeding my son and this man was staring at me and my baby intently. He didn't even try to hide the fact that he was staring. When I tried to turn my body away, he gradually repositioned himself at a different angle. I was so uncomfortable that I had to stop my baby's meal and carry my wailing child back to the car and I just kept telling him, "Mommy's sorry but dinner is going to have to wait." When I told my husband about it, he was PISSED. Absolutely livid and enraged. He didn't want me going for walks in that park alone after that and kept talking about how he could have been an "uncaught sex offender or pedophile".

This was a reality check for me that even though breasts were made to feed babies and not be sexualized, a creepy guy who could be a sex offender or rapist for all I know is not going to see things that way and show me respect when I'm breastfeeding in public. I'm on the fence about publicly breastfeeding at all after that and I'm starting to think it's better to just pre-pump milk and keep it refrigerated for public outings or break down and use formula if we're in public and I didn't have time to pump milk. If I'm with my husband, other family, or friends then I'll bring a cover-up but I'm truly starting to feel like breastfeeding in public not knowing who could be watching or maybe even recording me should be a last resort.

What do you think? Mothers, have you had an experience like this where you were breastfeeding in public and someone just gave you really bad, creepy vibes? Is it safe to do such a vulnerable act in public?

I had been occasionally working in a local civic group with this guy. Our contact and communication was limited to the group setting. I became interested in him and eventually checked records that he is unmarried, and single according to his social media. I messaged him requesting to meet up outside the group in a platonic/friendly manner. He did not reply. A few weeks later I messaged again, but this time gave him some background because I thought maybe he ignored my first message thinking I was married -- so I mentioned I was separated from my husband who had a personal crisis and left me last year, and was really just wanting new friends I might better relate to and have common interests with, and thought of him. But then he ignored this second message as well. Also, on one social media site we are still connected but he won't message me back. On another social media site he rejected the connection invitation. I'm just now being pursued by a few new guys... one seems extremely interested, but they are not nearly as attractive to me (physically and background-wise) as this first guy who I've had my eye on for some time now. Obviously this guy is not interested at the moment, but should I wait? Do anything else? I don't understand the lack of interest and ignoring the messages, not even a "thanks but no thanks." I can tell you it's not for my lack of attractiveness or desirability, as I get excellent feedback from many others on this. What should I do?
