Yes, it is considered impolite to refer to a woman as 'she' in her presence. This is not because 'she' is inherently impolite, but rather is a situational issue.

It is always impolite to talk about a person when she is standing right there. Referring to her as 'she' is acting as if the woman is not even there. At best 'she' relegates her to a lesser status, as if not allowed to participate in the conversation, like a child or servant. It serves to exclude her from the conversation.

Despite those two examples, children and servants don't appreciate being treated this way either.

Is it acceptable for your man to stare at another pretty woman when she's standing next to you and how do you get over the feeling that you must not be pretty enough if he can't help looking at her?

It is impolite, but typical, as most men have "wandering eyes", even when happily married. There's no need for jealousy or insecurity, but you have the right to be upset at his rudeness.
