Dwayne and his roving eye

What do you do when the husband of one of your friends pays just a little too much attention to you? Debbie’s husband, Dwayne, is one of those guys that isn’t aware that he should at least try to hide his obsession with the breasts of whatever woman he is facing. I mean when a guy is standing directly in front of you and only three feet away does he really think you don’t notice where he’s looking? I have literally crossed my arm across my chest and held onto my shoulder and he hasn’t gotten the hint. By today’s standards I’d say I dress pretty modestly. I rarely show cleavage and when I do I take great pains to make sure I don’t bulge at all, but if I know Dwayne will be around I cover everything. And what do I say to Debbie? “I love your new outfit and by the way, your husband has the sexual gracefulness of a seventh grader in heat.” I might have said something if it seemed like she had ever noticed but she has not, which is absolutely amazing because he does it right in front of her. She has always seemed oblivious to it. But yesterday everything changed. Yesterday I met them at the Burger Bar, which recently re-opened. I was wearing my hair pulled back in a pony-tail and when Dwayne told me he thought he liked my hair that way best I could see Debbie flinch. It was like she got punched in the stomach. The look on her face was gone in a nano-second, but there was no question that she had noticed it this time. I always thought I’d talk to her if she ever noticed and now that she has noticed I still feel that way. Any suggestions?
