Husband likes to dancing with me, to see if women flirt with him

My husband of 25 years just recently informed me that when we go dancing, he doesn’t particularly loves to dance with me but he likes to see if other women check him out.
To hear this, broke my heart. I honestly thought that it was a bonding activity for him as well. Dancing with him made me feel loved and desired.
Now, I do not feel like going dancing with my husband ever again. Which is a shame since we are both ok dancers.
Anyone has any advice or a similar experience?

Do you ever have other men try to flirt with you when you are out dancing and having a good time? How does your husband respond when that happpens?

@Tengo does he tell you that or you can just tell by his reaction that he loves men flirting with his wife?

@Tengo Do you think he flirts with other women as a way to get you to flirt with other men? Maybe as…. If I am doing it, it is ok for you to do it too. It seems that is something he wants you to do.
