The OP can speak for himself, but like I wrote above, I believe (based on all past threads) that this issue has to do with her consistently needing, seeking and soliciting male sexual attention in a number of ways. There of course is nothing wrong with wanting to dress up and look good... the issue the OP has is that his wife constantly seeks out male sexual attention and does things to draw that attention to herself and it's bothersome, which I can fully understand. If my husband constantly did things to make women want him or to gain their sexual interest and desire, I would feel sick to my stomach. HIs wife also gives him very little voice in the relationship to air his grievances or to express his feelings.

I also understand how hard it is to just give up and walk away from a new marriage. I've had problems in my own marriage and it was sooooo hard to think I would have to leave him within the first year of our marriage together. I took my vows very seriously, and it seemed very early to give up so soon. However, I did come to a point where it was so intolerable that I told him I was divorcing him, and then things started to turn around right after that. We still deal with some issues, but I also see him willing and able to make positive changes as I bring them up and as I confront each issue with him. It's not so easy to walk away from a commitment just like that, and sometimes it's not so black and white.
