Real-life drama at the beach ... Rammy's in trouble again ... apparently the wife doesn't like me taking pictures of other women

24,862 1,948 July 22, 2009 at 10:01 AM in Cameras
Amongst the ~200 photos I took last week at the beach, I snapped 3-4 pictures of some hotties that were walking up and down the beach. The wife took great offense to this and I thought it was playful at first but (as women are apt to do) an argument ensued which turned into her giving me the cold, silent treatment for the next 24 hours. She indicated I was "to take pictures of only her & the kids".

Disrespectful? Immature? In hindsight a little, but in her words "I'm married, I'm not dead". I wasn't peeping through a peephole at some ESPN hottie, I was taking a picture of someone strolling a few yards in front of me proudly displaying the goods that God gave her. Just how insecure can she be?

Is this a potential for a double standard? The wife had a massage at a day spa from a "young surfer dude" who was checking her out. Do I come out with the directive "no man can touch you except for me at any time". To take it to another level, shouldn't I be able to get lap dances (I don't btw) without feeling guilty. I agree that's extreme, but give me a break.

I thought things had cooled down the next day or two (makeup OTs) but then out of the blue the wife went through and deleted the pictures on my camera - which simply pissed me off. The following is all that's left. It was intended to be a humorous presentation to the lounge: (a) picture of hotties, (b) picture of wife holding up hand in front of camera, (c) picture of ocean as wife punched hubby in stomach.

It doesn't matter if I am single or not.. But I will tell you. I was married. I divorced her. I could have her back anytime I wanted to. She just asked me a few months ago, yet again, to take her back.

The point is that a random person walking by is just like a seagull. It's part of the beach.
It's not rational to be threatened by it. It's no different than photographing some senior citizens.. just random strangers he will never see again.
For the sake of women everywhere, please stay single.

Rammy, just fix the issue by telling her:

"I just like looking at hot women in bikinis, I would never want to be with one though. That's why I married you. "

It does matter if you're married or not. It tells a lot about your opinion.

She doesn't have to feel threatened to feel disrespected. It's not just a part of the beach. Did he have the same thoughts about those girls as a beautiful wave... probably not. Same reasons for taking the picture? Probably not.

Again, apples to oranges.

Are you really comparing a guy with a beer belly to the sexy legs in the OP?

I don't think he has a choice.


He divorced her? Roll jj, You could spoon feed that BS to the lounge all day, but I'm sure everyone can see right through it.

Yep. If you want a lasting, happy marriage at least. It shouldn't have to be one person 'controlling' the other. It should be one spouse choosing not to hurt the other - it's an act of love.
So then why is it so difficult for many married men to get OTs or other treats ... Dontknow

Interesting.. So the reason that taking pictures of the women is wrong is because he MIGHT have been mildly aroused? The wife has a suspicion that he might have had an unclean thought? Just trying to understand this.

Ummm...do you think she'll be mad at you for starting this topic?
Nope. She knows I frequent the Lounge and occasionally ask for all kinds of advice. Nothing wrong taking in opinions/experiences from a large group of people and extracting a bit of useful information.
