My Dw told me a long time ago that she does not want to hear about it.

The conversation all started after I had gone to a bar with a group of sailors. The charges showed up on my CC statement, and that upset her. She would rather that I use an ATM or find a bank to get cash, and only use cash at the bars. So she does not have to read the names of the bars where I have gone.

Later as the conversation went on, it was extended to how other ladies talk to me.

I think there are a lot of us who just keep things to ourselves... just to keep the peace. Lol
Mike high club?

Sounds like it’s split.

Some gals like to hear their man is desirable while others feel he’s bragging.

Imagine me holding my iPad listening and then saying, “This man you speak of who, as you say ‘flirted with you’... Tell me, did he have a white and red cane by any chance?”

So your way of dealing with it would be to insult your g/f? That would probably be a good way to get her not to tell you anymore... or in my case, in the future .... you might end up having to bend over in front of a mirror and look between your legs to view your iPad.

But if a woman tried to flirt with your man and even if he didn't reciprocate, would you want him to tell you, or even view it as a bad thing if he didn't?
Why not share a story from your day? If I’m secure in my relationship, I am not threatened. If my man wants to leave me because some chic spoke to him in Starbucks...bub bye.

The threatened or insecure one would be the one who has to say something every time, IMO.
To me, it sounds like a humble-brag. As if the person telling about being flirted with is saying: "See? Proof I'm attractive to others!"

If I do it, I feel weird halfway through the story, like what's my point here?

Only if it was an interesting or funny story. I wouldn't expect my partner to tell me about every single interaction they have with other humans throughout the day. But if it was funny or strange, I'd like to hear about it.

You know me. It would be a joke.

What for? I can't do anything about it. In that scenario it's on him to handle it the right way, not mine.

OP, ask yourself if you'd want your wife to report to you every trivial flirting attempt she encounters throughout the week. You don't really need to ask a bunch of strangers about this; you can figure it out for yourself. How would you feel about it?
