[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I consider it disrespectful and downright angering to experience when you are the spouse that has to deal with it. I think those who engage are being disrespectful. However, I’ve noticed DCUM doesn’t care in general with flirtation. Me, It’s not cheating but it’s inappropriate. Yes, you are married and not dead  but you are married to 1 woman and need to focus your attention on her and making her feel comfortable. But this is just my humble opinion.[/quote]

Yeah no. I'm a woman and I will mildly flirt with someone. If my husband wants to do the same, it's fine by me. With boundaries and trust, there's nothing inappropriate about it.

+1 I have a very outgoing personality and I’m very interested in people and their lives. I’m sure some people would take this as mild flirting but my husband has accepted this for many years as part of who I am. [/quote]

That’s great that in your relationship your DH accepts this about you, but do you ever consider the feelings of the wife/mom of the husband you are mildly flirting with? [/quote]

NP who also has a personality my husband calls “flirtatious”. Please note that everyone has different definitions of flirting. So perhaps you hate that somebody is flirting with your husband but she could be doing things like touching, intense eye contact, etc and others actually think flirting is just having a fun conversation.

Also, maybe the reason this hurts you is because your husband is saving all the sparkle in his eyes for other women. Like if he payed more attention to you and interacted with you the way he interacts with these women, perhaps it wouldn’t bother you as much. There was a time in my marriage when my husband was just irritated with me constantly and never seemed to have time for me, but I would hear him laugh joke around and have fun personal conversations with his coworkers on the phone and with his friends. I was totally jealous of all of them, men and women. But of course the problem wasn’t him having fun with these other people, but our dynamic at the time. Maybe that’s what’s happening with people so irritated at some of the flirtation going on. [/quote]
