What would be the point? You want to make them jealous or something?
I can think of 3 reasons.
- casual conversation
- let the other person know you are (still) desireable (by somebody else)
- let the other person know that you (still) have some market value
- let the other person know that he/she should value you more or he/she is easily replacable
- make the other person jealous.

Yes. I make it a point. I don't keep secrets from my wife. And I'm a terrible liar.
Others ask, what is the point of telling your spouse? To me, the better question is, why would you keep it from them?
My wife isn't a jealous woman. She's very secure. So I know that she wouldn't fly off the handle and start a fight with someone we both know.
But the only time I didn't immediately mention it to my wife was when my employee mentioned that she'd "have an affair with someone I trusted" while we were on a biz trip together. I didn't take the bait and the subject never came up again.
Mind you, this is a woman with whom I traveled a good deal and who was always coming to my house to work. I held off not telling my wife not because I was trying to keep a secret from her, but because the last thing I needed in my business was my wife asking me to fire a very good employee.
I later told my wife anyway. I just needed to wait until the moment was right.

Even if you love each other and would never cheat and end up getting hit on should you tell your partner?
it depends on your partner. do they tell you about being hit on? do they find it amusing? is there enough trust between you two that you both can handle this? how long have you two been together?
Tell them for what? To make the, jealous, to show them that others find you attractive, or to maybe cause problems? Some people will cause conflicts if they find out someone hit on their significant other.
If they are secure and unlikely to get upset, sure, tell them. They'll find it amusing and reassuring that you shut down someone doing this.
If they are insecure, or likely to not trust you even if you ARE trustworthy, do not tell them. Just handle it and forget it, as telling may create greater problems when there is no reason to do so.
Years ago my husband's friend hit on me and told my husband I was the one that hit on him. I have never lied to my husband so he believed me. But you can bet if it ever happens again (at my age, probably not) I would tell him right away!
