As we watch TV, there always seems to be a commercial that show scantily clad women. Now me being a man, this doesn't bother me in the least. I don't get excited and want to jump all over my wife, I don't get an erection and I don't think about them after all is said and done. My wife on the other hand, has a fit when these commercials come on, she get totally agree with me, turns the channel, or throws the TV remote at me if I watch the commercial. Most times, I will turn my head or get up to do something while the commercial is playing. It doesn't bother me when she watches her stories that show men in various states of clothes. I am so confused as to how to overcome this problem, besides not watch TV with her, or continue to not look at the TV when the commercials come on. BTW, i do not make any comments about the subject matter on the TV.. just so you know.

She is obviously young and seemingly insecure. Your choices are:
A. Hide the remote to preserve your safety.
B. Get rid of your TV.
or
C. Say "DAMN baby! You need to get yo fat butt off tha couch and go work out instead of watch TV so you can look like THOSE chicks!"

I do that to my husband as well. I get mad when those Ford commercials come on with these women in bikinis or whatever. I am a bit insecure with the way I look and maybe your wife is going through the same thing. Those girls are much prettier and in shape than the normal average woman and we don't like it. Although sex sells, and that is why they are using those women in the commercials. But, honestly, alot of those woman don't truly look like that on an everyday basis. I am sure alot of them also have had or has implants, botox, face lifts, etc. I am not sure what there is for you to do though except express your concern to your wife. Or maybe show her this posting with answers. That may help....she is not alone and neither are you!!

Your poor wife must be very insecure about herself to let this get to her. First I would get cable where there is no commercials, NO NO that wouldn't work everything on cable is worse, Why don't you try some positive reinforcement with her, tell how pretty she is, how much you love her, maybe she's not feeling the loving from you just a suggestion/ I do really admire your patience with her/she is a very lucky woman. Some men may of gotten rid of the tv,, GOOD LUCK.

Sounds like she is very insecure. She's getting upset over tv commercials? Have you asked what the problem is, why she feels the way she does? I am sorry but you shouldn't have to look away from the tv just because there is a woman on there. Your wife needs to work on her insecurity problem. Ask her to get some help.

sounds like a bad case of insecurity to me. Don't know how you could get around it other than not watching tv at all or leaving the room when an ad comes on the set. My suggestion is to shower her with compliments, comment on how well she looks, and be very attentive to her whenever possible. Perhaps then she will gain some self-confidence and not become so irritable when these ads air. Good Luck!

There are different ways of helping your wife increase her self esteem. While you're trying out ways to accomplish that, consider trying this: when the gals come on the screen, jump up (drop the remote or pillow or something), holler, " you dogs, you're nothin' but anorexic egotists, you sxxt pigs!" And then jump your honey's bones, kiss all over her face, blow her neck (like a baby), feel her up, and loudly praise God for giving you the sexiest woman on earth to have for your very own. If you're consistant with this, it might get her attention (and funny bone), and start the healing process.
Very best of lusty fun while working on irritating problems.

Sounds like you have a wife with some deep emotional issues. You should get her into therapy so she can find out why she over reacts to these commercials.

When last did you tell your wife you think she's sexy???
She's needing abit of your attension, thats why she gets mad when the adds come on, she thinks you're shopping around for something better than what she has to offer you, insecurity can be damaging to a marrage so make her feel more secure about how you see her and she'll chill out.

There are deeper issues underlying the one that the commercials bring up

Honestly I don't think all the compliments in the world will help her. I think you should find a good counselor. It that doesn't work, find another until her issues are resolved.
