Now, there’s something that needs to be mentioned: there’s a fine line between what’s considered to be appropriate and inappropriate flirting, and each relationship needs to establish this line. While some people might be a bit flattered when strangers express a certain interest in their partner, others will instantly feel threatened the minute their partner’s gaze meets someone else’s.

You first need to establish your comfort zone, communicate it with your partner, and trust your spouse that your boundaries will be respected. So as long as everything is above-board and no one suffers from sudden possessiveness, the boundaries for flirting are pretty easy to establish.

That being said, relationships are fluid, so the boundaries that you and your spouse have agreed upon might change over time. If you want to address a flirtatious behavior you might have noticed in your partner, here are the signs you need to look after:

    i have a female family member married 40 years and a guy friend married 47 years, both are not happy in their marriage, they would like to leave but they have been with the spouses a long time it’s a convience. each of these people have gone out with other people, the family member only two people and the guy – who knows how many he has gone out with. don’t their spouses suspect anything wth! in a way i feel sorry for both of them bc they have wasted their spouses time and their time sneaking around. after many years i guess this is accepted! sad

    My spouse stays on his tablet all the time acting like he is playing a game. I believe he has his text messages forwarded to his tablet using webmail. I know he is flirting and messaging other people.

    Sighhhh—The problems you heathens create for yourselves!! FACE IT!! What you fear is cheating! AKA—ADULTERY.

    For those of us who are loyal to our loving Creator—ADULTRY is a serious sin with serious consequences—one of the Ten Commandments states it plainly—“Thou Shalt NOT Commit Adultery”. Isn’t THAT easy to comprehend??

    No, not for you self-enthusiasts and ego-maniacs who have no scruples nor self restraint nor any ethical guidelines in life. Just do what you feel like all the time! What a loser’s path you are on!

    You need to get on your knees and pray to your savior Jesus for forgiveness! HERE! Allow me to guide you—“Oh dear Jesus, I am tired of living in disgraceful sin all my waking hours. I detest my sins and seek your forgiveness! I wish to serve you! What may I do for you?? Please isolate me from the following (including but not necessarily limited to)—
    * Predators
    * Parasites
    * Propagandists
    * Opportunists
    * Drug Crazed
    * Criminally Insane
    * Miscreants
    * Sex Maniacs
    * Sundry Other Brands of Demoniacs—–
    AMEN!”

    These words of wisdom are a gift to you from your favorite sage, Feral Tomm…You are WELCOME!!

      Feral Tomm:
      I completely agree with you however maybe you will consider this..Jesus is the SON of GOD..Therefore not the creator!! all due respect, worship, prayer, and glory should go to our creator GOD. Jesus will agree because in the bible he gives all praise, power, and respect to his father, his creator.
      Just Sayin. I applaud you for your moral compass!!

        Jacqui,

        Indeed, Jesus is the Creator.

        1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being (John 1:1-3, NASB).

        15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together (Colossians 1:15-17, NASB).

        Sincerely,
        Dennis

    I found out about my ex cheating because I got an anonymous letter in the mail. He of course denied it. After getting proof, I filed for a divorce.
