Married? Do you have any contact with the opposite sex that your wife/husband would not approve of?

[BobCaldwell]

I'm one of the small number of men who don't engage in flirting at work (or with women I don't know, generally). Under no circumstances could I see myself flirting all day with married women. It's hubby's job to make them feel special, not mine. At work I need work-related things from them, nothing more.

I work with 100 guys and 4 (older) women. I get treated like a princess at work and hit on left and right by marrried and single guys alike. Tons of material for sexual harassment suits.


I joke back but no touching, kissing or real flirting from my side. After I split from my husband, I was wearing my ring another 2 years at work to keep the boys in check.


I do not tell my bf because I don't want him to feel insecure when he knows I am at work. I do nothing that would be disrespectful to him or be seen as cheating. He knows though that I am popular and sometimes jokes about it. On my bday I came home from work, smelling like 20 different aftershaves from all the hugs.

I think flirting is a normal and natural part of life. I mean just because someone is married doesn't mean they are dead and won't notice other people. Flirting doesn't bother me at all. I think people who say they never flirt or notice other people are usually lying


I am close with a guy in my office, we have coffee together most days and sometimes will go for drinks. There is nothing going on, he is like a brother to me. It's not a secret in the least though. I also have other male friends but it's never been an issue, and my husband has women friends. I read and interesting article once that said men who have women friends actually make better partners.

Where it starts turning weird is if you flirt with others in front of your partner.


Or take harmless flirting to another level.


Or you show up to a company function with your partner and everybody is surprised you actually have a partner because you behave like you are single.


Or they feel bad for your partner instead of thinking he is a lucky guy to have such a great gf/wife.

I can think of an occasion that might have earned me an eyebrow raise, but I put myself in check. Other than that, we're on the same page with accepting that a little harmless flirtation is normal between the sexes, so long as it stops there.

Honestly if you have any sort of male ego it will **** you off if your significant other talks to anybody of opposite sex. I just hate it, because I know these dudes are just there to flirt. With my current fiancee, I saw how after her divorce she immediately got all of these dudes hitting her up, they're like animals and I already told her to remove them whatsoever

I never flirt or tell off-color jokes at work. It's not appropriate to begin with, and in this climate of everything being construed as sexual harassment, it's not smart.

Elsewhere, sure. My wife doesn't mind - and since we have an open relationship, there's a LOT I can do that she doesn't mind.

My wife is far more flirtatious than i am. Any jealousy she may feel is probably a projection of her own character on me.

I can't think of anything I have said or done that my husband would consider inappropriate, and that includes when I go out clubbing with friends.

We do not say or do anything separately that we would not say or do together so I'm sure nothing inappropriate has happened in the 15+ years we have been together.
