Different strokes. I'm not a very jealous guy, and my wife has repeatedly shown herself worth of my trust, and vice versa.

No panacea here, though. Gotta know what your relationship boundaries are, and they vary from couple to couple.

Of course I do, and she does with me, as well.

I don´t flirt around her, and she rarely gets hit on when I´m not around, unless she´s engaged in conversation and ´alight´.

I say this as she is quite striking and an intimidating beauty, if you don´t see her glib and gay, you´re not going to approach her unless you´re of the opinion you´ve got mad game, or are an idiot (the two concepts are often intertwined).

Typically, were this to happen, men immediately recognize who I am once I return (with respect to her), and it´s over (their making advances).

Bingo. It's about trust. Trust fosters security that won't be shaken by a little harmless flirting. I think buying into the idea that once you're a couple, you have to put on blinders/pretend there aren't any other attractive people in the world is bullshite.
My buddies dad says "I'm married, not dead" when he gets caught looking at other women.

Mine did not flirt but she was a magnet for men's flirting/comments because of being a physically very attractive woman.

My wife is attractive as it gets, and I can confidently say she at least doesn't flirt around me. I've never seen it. Quite the opposite, actually. She was never the type to let guys buy her drinks when single, even. And I'd know, since I've known her since we were 18 and in college.



My SO, to the extent she flirts with other dudes, does it when I'm around. It's not often, and it's never been with anyone other than some dude I'm friends w/. And I probably do it more than she does with her friends or our mutual friends.

Much prefer that to her legit flirting w/ dudes while I'm not around.

That's the biggest thing when it all boils down to it.

Personally, I'm not big on flirting with others while in a relationship not because I don't trust the SO but because it's so easy anymore for others to not know that it's just that. And that can create some pretty unnecessary drama as well.

I will say that both myself and the SO have dealt with our being overly nice as flirting when it's really just being nice.

Oh yeah, that was one of the first times she ever got pissy with me when we were dating. The hilarious thing was that it was with this obnoxious, super-liberal chick who'd stop in at my part-time job, who I was being overly nice to to get her to go away

Flirting is disrespectful. There is a right way to do a wrong thing. Be discreet.

My wife is an OT 11, and I'm sure guys hit on her. But, I don't give a shite. If she wants to leave, she can. Not everyone can buy her a 5 carat diamond like I did. Good luck.




I got my wife a spider ring and saved the rest for my F-250.

Everyone likes to feel "wanted" by the opposite sex. If you are married, than both need to understand the LINE, once you introduce alcohol than the line gets real blurry.

Correct, it is only normal to acknowledge physical beauty.

I only like when my wife flirts and closes the deal. I count on her to make some cash off these fools, always be closing.

I'm not married. But imo when you are dating and you are flirting with others, it usually doesn't last.

It doesn't matter unless lines are crossed. Problem is there are so many ways to flirt with others on the DL. Social media.

Lol, that doesn't mean go give attention to a more attractive woman than your wife. Looking does not equal flirting. Not even close.

Not one bit, assuming I'm there in the same baR. I used to get my ex gf in college to go ask random guys for drinks st the bar, get a few liquor drinks, and bring them back to me. I know she's coming home with me so it's never been a issue with me
