For the record -- not all women, even those with self-esteem issues, get that unwrapped when their husband praises another woman. A lot of it is context (how much does he praise the wife too?) and delivery (what are the respective enthusiasm levels?)
It's a great mistake to habitually self-censor or muzzle oneself, especially if positive expressions are being muzzled.
