My husband went on a business trip last week. This was his first trip by himself. He stayed at a hotel that had a flower exhibit going on. The city of costa rica has 2 news reporters (1female 1 male) of which both were at the hotel. The female reporter was very pretty. She had a dress on that was a very deep V. my husband did not show the picture of him with this reporter until 2 days after he came home. He said that he wanted to show me something but I could not get upset. When he showed me the picture, I felt very hurt. This was the only picture of a person that he had taken on his trip. He said he wanted a picture of both reporters, but they did not speak english and they did not understand. The girl had her hand on my husbands shoulder, but my husband was not touching her. He said that it was not a big deal, and he did not understand why I was upset. I said I felt that he did not show it to me because he thought that I would be mad, then he decided to show me because my father is his boss and he thought that I would find out anyway. I do not understand how he could not understand how I feel. He said that he would have no problem with me having my picture taken with a hot guy if he was not there! I said that I would never do that. Am I too jealous or do I have a reason to be hurt by the whole situation?? :confused:

Okay, if he had been kissing her, or going out to dinner alone with her, when he was on a business trip apart from you, THEN I can see being jealous.
But a picture, in a public place, with a woman he couldn't even exhange 2 words with? Seriously honey... you need to get over that. If he had had his picture taken with Cinderella at Disney World, would you have been JUST as jealous?

Yes, I do think that you are being too jealous.
So what if he he met two beautiful women? He is going to meet many more and so are you (men).

Just a question about the situation, WHY did he want a picture with these women?

That's what I said. He responded because she was so beautiful.

One of the reporters was a very handsom guy, but he only got a picture of the lady

Men seem to act on impulse. Women usually don't.
Ask him 'If I saw this incredibly hot guy and asked to get my picture with him, would you get upset to?'
His answer will probably be no, but I do think deep down, he would feel hurt. I misread the part were he wanted to get a picture with her because she was beautiful.
I agree with Synnen too. He didn't physically do anything wrong with this woman. He found her attractive, wanted his picture with her, leaves the country and her behind, comes back home to you and all is forgotten.

Yes, you are too jealous. He's arms weren't even around the woman. And so what if your husband found the woman attractive. Do you think you are the ONLY woman your husband should find attractive? I find a lot of women attractive but that doesn't mean I'm going to sleep with them or that they would even consider me in that light. I don't mean to be a little upset but ITS JUST A PICTURE. He'll probably never see the woman again anyway.

I guess the worst part was that first he tried to hide it, and second it did not bother him that I was hurt!

I understand where you are coming from, but I hate to say I used to be really jealous. I would not worry about it, if he has never given you a reason not to trust him, then there is no need to get upset about it. I would have to tell myself this repeatedly, when it came to my fiancé. He works in a very social setting with a lot of pretty women. But I totally trust him and know he would never do anything wrong.
Just want you to know that I know where you are coming from.

The woman is a celebrity. Your husband knows you, and he knew you would have a problem with it. Ya, I would say you are too jealous. When people get jealous over incidental things like that, they tend to do more harm than good. Now your hubby will surely be more discreet in regards to what he discloses to you. It would have been really nice if you could have smiled and enjoyed the story that came with the picture.
