If your husband is flirty with other women

Now...I don't know if you are giving him what he needs physically...but that is something you will need to figure out.


I guess we’re going old school here.

And no, it shouldn’t necessarily bother OP. Not everyone minds a flirty husband. It definitely spices things up.


OP didn’t ask for you to tell her how she should feel.

Is she focusing on just you, not making eye contact with your wife


My DH is hot, and thinks it’s funny to call women out for this. Example, other woman will say something like wow you’re so interesting! He’ll pull me in front of her and say you know whose interesting, my lovely wife, have you met her? When he knows we met. He thinks making other women uncomfortable is funny. And I find it hot he wants to stake his claim to me


You both sound a little sociopathic tbh


Why ? This IS a man- he is standing up for his wife when another woman is trying to flirt up.
And it’s rare.
.
.it sounds like her husband is cheating on her

Anything blatantly sexual is terrible and unacceptable.

But men and women engage with each other differently. Of course men and women can be friends and colleagues. But there are always boundaries. And good people are aware of them.

In a social setting, however, it's not unusual for things to be a little charged sometimes. If it's just banter, no big deal. Some people are intuitively flirty and it doesn't mean anything. It's just chitty chat with a slight edge. It's fun, but meaningless.

But "sexual comments here and there" when you have a partner, yeah, lines have been crossed.

Friendly and flirty is ok. For many, it's their natural disposition. Both for men and women.

But there's a difference between some amusing back and forth, and explicitly stating something.

You are very right to be annoyed. It's not cool.

I was going to say the same thing. The PP who is so bothered by the “interesting” flirter has seen him stray before and she’s not about to let it happen again. He plays along with it to convince her he’s a good boy now.

I work with a man who overtly flirts with all the women in the office. I'm talking young and old, pretty and homely. It's cringey and embarrassing. He's married with several kids and I really feel sorry for his wife.

There is a dad who is very friendly and handsy with the moms. It is not a good look for him or his wife or his children.

DH knows some guys who like to pick up girls at bars. I don’t know if they go home together but Dh tells me that some of the guys act the same as when they were younger and single.

Meh, its kind of obnoxious.

I'm extroverted and friendly, and have often had people think I'm flirting with them when I'm 100% not. It would super weird if anyone ever did that mid-conversation, and tbh, it would be pretty embarassing for them


Yea he is actually trying be obnoxious! That’s the point! 😂 To deflect your attention


The obnoxious part is him thinking that anyone that talks to him is flirting with him.


If he doesn’t want her attention, he doesn’t want her attention. No one is entitled to talk to a hot guy while ignoring his wife who is right there. Strike a nerve with you?


Yeah, I guess it does, to be honest.

Bc I'm a guy. And there have been multiple times in my life where woman have gently (and sometimes not so gently) "I have a boyfriend." or "Sorry, I'm married", when I wasn't even remotely flirting with them.

But who goes to a party and gets offended when someone mingles and chats? And I would be super annoyed if I was chatting with a person at a party and they said "oh, a man is talking to me, let me physically pull my husband in (bc I'm so arrogant that any man that talks to me is clearly flirting with me)"


Welp. Time to move further down your list to plan X and Y - how many times you been married, that you are trying to interfere with others?


1 time. 16 years. 100% faithful.

I'll give you an example of how some people are ridiculous, thinking that people are always flirting with them.

About 5 years ago, I get into an elevator at my office. I turn around and see a woman running towards the elevator bank, obviously in a rush. I put my foot in the door to hold it for her. When she arrives, I say something stupid like "Well, at least that counts as your exercise for the day" (admittedly, a bad joke). She does a half smile and says "I have a boyfriend"

I would bet a paycheck that PP's husband is like that, thinking everyone is flirting with him. And as others have said, he gets his jollies off embarrassing other people, so it doesnt even matter if they are actually flirting or not. He just needs an opportunity to embarrass someone

Seems there are two kinds of either gender - the hunted and the hungry.

Sarcasm, everyone.


You are the sarcasm. DH is just having fun but we will admit some people (mostly Democrats) do not like it. They need to Git A Life.

? Pence ( a R ) won't have dinner alone with any women, but sure, it's the Dems who are uptight about flirting.

This is such a weird story. I would have assumed you were just trying to smooth over the running in the hallway thing or making fun or me. Not flirting.

Wouldn't want to have to deal with my DH doing that in front of me.

NP here. Wrong. Women who call other people's husbands "interesting" are up to no good, and the man knows it - and does not find their fake flattery (or the other woman) the least bit "interesting". Grow up, and stop hopping from man to man. Not a good look.
