There was a guy that I was upset saw my wife breastfeeding once. My wife was very selective and never let anyone see anyway, but this guy sorta talked her into it, which would normally be okay (we all know that I do it; I can't be a hypocrite), but I think he was total creepster about it. Anyway, she did nurse in front of him and let him see, and it was a normal day at the moment for the most part.
But two years later when his own wife had a kid, he would get so upset if anyone saw her nursing (I've actually mentioned this dude in other posts). I reminded him how he literally begged my wife to let him see (this seems so juvenile writing this out, but we were very young and new parents at the time), and he said he didn't care. That is when I got upset that he had seen my wife.
Joke was on him, though, because prior to this even happening, I had already seen his wife nursing, and completely topless to boot, and she continued to do so whenever he wasn't around (I wrote about the other side of this same story years ago in another thread). I think she was petrified that I would tell him I saw her anyway, but I promised I would never say anything.
Being 40s now it seems crazy to even care who sees who breastfeeding, but back when we were early parents, it was always the stressful topic going places...how would one nurse, is it okay if they see? Will they judge? Should one even go? Etc. Really silly now, though.
