Exactly! this is the comfort level all relationships should be at. If they were perhaps we'd have less divorces.
Well, sadly, due to other HUGE factors our marriage pretty much sucks. I haven't had sex in two years now and believe me, my flirtation with other women is a lot more direct and brazen these days. I kept it in rein for a long time, until I found out she was talking to a lot of guys online well into our dating and marriage, and that she was hiding a lot of other stuff from me.
We communicate little these days but I assume she still has her flirtations going on, possibly even dalliances (though in her defense I don't KNOW this to be fact). I'm making no move to divorce since I don't stand much chance for custody, so I figure she does what she does and I ... well, I flirt for ego and let it go at that.
But I have to admit, she wouldn't like the level my own flirtation has stepped up to even though I haven't done anything.
Where does he work? Are they hiring? I have a large muscular belly and would love to get hit on.

In my office there is quite a bit of banter between coworkers of the opposite sex. Most are married. Some of it is outright flirting, others is sexual jokes and others is close workplace friendships of people of the opposite sex.
I wonder what their spouses would think if they overheard what was said.
Do you ever say anything to a person of the opposite sex that you would be embarrassed about if your husband or wife overheard?
Nope. Though I do like to joke around and mildly flirt, it's never anything I wouldn't do or say in front of my husband.
When i worked real estate, I sure did, it started getting on my nerves, the MARRIED MEN MIND YOU And i am married also. Were the ones hitting on me like crazy. If their wives knew the kinds of things they talked about, cause i heard it all, they would probably kill there husbands, or divorce, but BOYS WILL BE BOYS. I got use to it, but was very self consious of what i wore to work, but i am not going to change my way of dressing because some married men cannot control themselves, that is there problem not mine. I got hit on very bad by one person in particular, long story short, he wanted me more then just helping him sell houses. I ended up quitting that job. Believe me some of things that go on in a work place between Men and Women i have seen it all, and the single gals falling over so many of the married men. There were late night calls to their spouses, telling them they had to work late, when they were taking the cute little single ladies to Dinner, things do go on in the workplace, just have to stand your guard and be tough. Not all workplaces and not all People but i have experienced it first hand.
I've been rather a flirt for many years now and typically mean nothing by it. I've always been able to deliver a compliment to a woman and will do so easily -- and as I age, I've noted brazen and occasional bouts of shameless.
My wife got used to it a long time ago and has even complimented me on my quips.
A prime example:
A young woman of moderate appearance was trying to get some items in a crowded grocery store. She was much younger than I and clearly the self-conscious sort, appearing shy and rather demure.
As she passed in front of me to get another armful of what she was after, she apologized to me for her passage, to which I responded "You could walk back and forth in front of me all day long and I wouldn't complain."
Her face lit up like a Christmas tree. Once she left, my wife said "You probably made her day with that."
Due to life I cannot avoid all people at all times...that's just the nature of the society we live and work within. I will generally joke and carry on wih people as long as it is in good fun, but the second it takes on or is based around personal intent or a show or personalized feelings I remove myself from the situation.
Experience has taught me where their is smoke in people's behaviors their is always a fire looming when the right wind picks up regardless of what the other says their true intentions are in their behaviors.
