What you can do is act like a man and-- demand respect.

I have been married for 20 years and though it's not perfect-- that is something I will not tolerate-- is roving eyes.
I think it's rude and disrespectful of our union.
My husband understands this and agrees, and says he wouldn't appreciate it if I was always gawking at other men, so he doesn't do that-- in respect of me.

I guess it's what you want from a partner and what you are willing to accept.
You don't have to accept it just because the culture tells you that you do.

I'm glad I have the partner I do........ I don't feel slighted, pushed aside or threatened...... I'm not put in a postition where I feel I have to compete with other women for my husband's attention.... it's empowering and makes me feel so valued. (guys are lucky as they almost always feel empowered and valued, as their partners rarely have roving eyes)
I feel for you and all the other young women that are trying to learn to "swallow that horse pill" of discontent, by trying to learn to accept the fact that men are sexually freer than women...... they "rove" because it's culturally accepted, set-up that way and encouraged.

just my opinion.......

best to you!
