You all would be ok with your spouse tickling another person in a fun and sexy way?

You’d be ok if your spouse left the house half and hour early to stage a chance encounter with an attractive person they’d noticed at their usual coffee shop?

Your spouse could play footsie under the table with that same attractive person whilst they enjoyed their coffee together?

Of course not. But eye contact, laughing, mirroring, and laughing? Completely fine with that. Love letters is also on that list- I don’t think anyone would characterize that as just “flirting” [/quote]
