OK, I admit it I am a married man and I flirt with other women sometimes. No, I am not going to have an affair. And no I am not interested in going out on a date with the women I flirt with. I only flirt with women because it is fun and it makes me feel attractive. The married women I flirt with- flirt right back. Sometimes when our spouses are right next to us.

What do you think of married people who flirt? Is it wrong or just honest fun?

You say you are not going to have an affair or go on a date and thats all easy in theory.....but what if one of these women you are flirting with you are or become attracted/attached to. Could easily happen.

Honestly, only you know the answer to this question because only you know what your true intentions are. Some will say it's wrong and others will say it's harmless, all depends on what you want out of it.

Not always the case. Often it starts out innocent enough, just playful flirting. But someone takes it seriously and pretty soon things are happening you hadn't intended on. And when you mix innocent flirting with alcohol, forget it.

I think if you are flirting with someone and not hiding it, that it's ok. It's when you flirt and dont want the spouse to find out that people have to worry about it.

Yep, alcohol is known to set off fireworks.

Yep. Doing things on the sly is never OK.

OP, your married "friend" who wishes his wife would disappear should probably lay off the flirting and focus on what's going on in his own life. Flirting will just widen the rift between him and his wife.

I just never understood why you'd get married in the first place if you want to act single--either in the open or in secret.

That's where self control comes into play. It goes back to knowing yourself and what you really want. If he's weak and can't resist temptation then he shouldn't be flirting, unless of course he wants more than just flirting. Again, only he knows the answer to that. Some folks can handle it, some can't.
