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.
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.
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.
