Sexcetera: Wife catches hubby spying on young neighbor what should she do?
Q: I have an issue with my husband that I really don't know how to handle. First, let me say that he is in his 50s.Before we went out to dinner one night, I caught him staring out the window at my neighbor's daughter, who's in her 20s, while she and her boyfriend were sunbathing. He proceeded to masturbate in the bathroom. He didn't know I saw this. We went out to dinner with this on my mind. At one point during dinner, he told me that I am the most beautiful woman in the world. I just wanted to throw up after he said that. Do you think it is creepy for a man to masturbate over a 20-something woman when his daughters are practically the same age? How is a woman supposed to feel after experiencing something like this?
