[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the concept of flirting is too subjective to call it cheating or disrespectful. I smile a lot. I’ve literally been told I was flirting with someone because I smiled. We didn’t even speak, and I smiled at everyone. If it’s smiling and banter, who cares? It’s not the 19th century. But then again I’ve been known to show my ankles, so I guess I’m a fast woman. Touching, dirty jokes with too much innuendo… that’s probably where the line is for us. Making out definitely crosses a line and is way too flirty. [/quote]

^This absolutely this.  I learned a long long time ago that men often mistake my being nice with flirting.  For a while I stopped smiling and laughing and even talking to men.  I now realize that if I am nice to them and they mistake it for flirting that isn’t my problem.  I never use innuendo and bring up my husband during these conversations, and have clear boundaries with any touching (even elbow touching or whatever).  But i should be able to smile and laugh and hold a conversation.[/quote]

Here’s the thing, at home with his wife who is overburdened as we all know with childcare and a whole host of mental tasks. She at times is not so demure and shy at this stage bc shit has to get done. Enter you, a “sweet” talking “shy” and “nice” female laughing and bantering with him. As the wife, mom, I feel disrespected if he banters and back with you and gives you attention. He might be having a few moments of emotional lightness with you but he really should be focused on helping and giving his wife and mom to his children all of the attention and fun times. Not you.[/quote]
