Should I Be Depressed?
Posted: 10-10-07 16:08pm

my girlfriend commented a that a guy was hot on the tv and she noticed that i was trying to ignore it so she started saying "you always do this, everytime i comment about how hot a guy is", i said "i know, im sorry but i cant help it" she said "what evere it doesnt matter i just wont think guys areattractive anymore and i wont say anything". We got into this fight and i know i should'nt be so depressed about how she thinks other guys are hot but for some reason it bothers me and i dont know how to get over it. Need some advice or anything?!?!

Sup DJ!

I had a similar thing happen. My girlfriend who I had been dating for a while made the same type of comment...about Matthew Lilard(SP). Granted hes not your typical hot body, but it still had an impact on me. Nothing Im gonna say is gonna make you feel any better, but this is how I looked at it.

There are many things in this world that are beautiful. One of the most beautiful things in life to me are women. When I see a good looking girl walk by I definitely take note of it and just appreciate it for what it is. Its not like Im lusting after them....wishing I could have them....leaving my current relationship to be with them. Its just about appreciating beauty, much like art.

You have to be confident in your ability to communicate with her. If she is with you and has no thoughts of leaving...what is there to worry about. Build a strong foundation of communication so that you know she is always expressing how she really feels. If she sees a hot guy and makes a comment, be faithful that thats as far as its going to go...its just recognition of a thing of beauty like anything else in the world.

When you are feeling down about stuff like this, try not to keep it from her. Be as honest as possible, although that instant in time may not be the best to talk about it.

My parents have been married for 25 years and they both comment on good looking people. If my Dad says something to that effect, my Mom usually agrees with him. They have strong communication. There is no doubt in either of their minds that they are both happy. It all starts with communication and honesty.

I wish I could actually help you feel better and im sure none of this does. Just file it away somewhere and maybe it will come to some use.

For now....it sucks. I totally feel you. Ive been there too Sad
