I've been off the boards for a little while. I hope this is the right place to put this issue.

My husband and I have been married for a few years and are extremely non-confrontational. I'm a bit younger than him and sometimes get positive male attention, often in front of him. Obviously, this bothers DH and I never know how to handle it when he feels threatened.

Recently this has become an issue again when at a party a male acquaintance that is very flirty (with all women, not just me) got a little too friendly. I did put a stop to it, but DH is still in the position of being ignored and disrespected and I don't know what to do about it. I'm not worried about this particular guy in the future but I don't want DH to continue to feel powerless/insignificant.

Does anyone have any advice?
