I honestly just don't understand what there is to freak out about. Does she not trust you, or is she hypersensitive or jealous about even pictures of other women, or...... Well, I can't really think of any other reasons she'd "freak out" about it. Can you maybe clarify what she would get so upset about?
I won't make assumptions about your wife, but I know my dad couldn't read a fishing magazine with pics of women in bikinis in them without my mom acting like it was hustler. They don't have a very healthy relationship....
I know some of you will take this as a sermon of some kind. It's just an explanation. If you want to discuss it further, we could start a new thread.
I didn't say "freak out," and I was exaggerating a bit about the "wrath." I would guess that my wife and I have different ideas than you do, about images of half-clad women, the significance thereof, and some related topics. I don't regard it as unusual for a woman to prefer that her husband not have pictures of other women, in revealing clothing. I think my wife in particular would be unhappy to find such a book cover on my shelf, as it would worry her. As I said, I don't think that indicates trust issues or hypersensitivity. To me, it just means she is a girl, and some girls are like that. I understand a lot of guys would feel cramped by such an attitude. I do not.
I am aware that, these days, people commonly regard such images as No Big Deal, and that to think otherwise indicates some kind of unhealthy prudery. I happen to disagree.
None of which will keep me from reading the book one day, when I get around to it. Maybe when I get it, I'll post on here, and see if anyone needs a new cover for their UC.
