Why do some men think it's normal and part of normal..."man behavior"... to flirt when they're in a relationship or married? Then they wonder why their women don't trust them and go through their phones.

I think that flirting leads to other things, meeting, going out, snapchatting, dates, touching...I don't see myself ever accepting that kind of behavior from anyone I'm in a relationship with and as far as I'm concerned is the same as cheating.

Why do some people think flirting with others is normal for a man and should be expected and accepted by the woman?

When it's not a serious relationship.

It's rude and inconsiderate to the person you're with at that moment. End of story.

Actually I find that it's women that seem to think it is acceptable to flirt with other guys and see it all the time from married women in the office. Even done to me. But anyway, I do agree with you. The thing is when a guy calls a woman out on this he is called "Controlling" and "insecure".

If both parties agree that it's acceptable behavior, then it's acceptable behavior for that particular relationship.

If I am dating a woman and she's flirting with other men I would break up with her. Total disrespect.

Also, bear in mind that what constitutes "flirting" is pretty open to interpretation, and people who are very jealous, possessive, and controlling can sometimes see flirting in any polite interaction one has. I have known people in abusive relationships who are literally afraid to so much as make eye contact with a cashier or server when their SO is around, because even that level of interaction is deemed "flirting."
