Does your DH flirt with other women?

Really want to know wives opinions of their DH flirting with others and whether they mind it or not

I have some friends who say they know their DHs are flirty but just accept that as their personality.

AIBU to not want my husband to do that or is it normal to a certain extent?

When we were younger and more foolish, we both flirted more than was healthy.

Now? No, it is a mistake to engage other people in this way when married. That's how I see it anyway.

A couple of the dads at DDs school are a bit OTT, and a friend's DH (who is otherwise a nice man so it's a shame) verges on a bit desperate and creepy sometimes.

It would do my head in, though, to be married to someone who couldn’t flirt. I love flirting (with DH, not randoms.)

No, neither of us do. It's opportunistic.

My DH barely flirted with me. He can't flirt. But if he could I wouldn't be ok with him flirting with other women.
THIS
It seemed odd after being with men who did flirt with me lol
He's a real alpha though.

Confident chatty friendly charismatic and always manages to sweet talk the female shop assistant down in price when buying me jewlry

Buying me jewellery.
Or is that flirting?
Our son would bat his eyes me to get his own way so.
Maybe that is flirting.

bing I actually name changed funnily enough. Your comments were all deleted from the thread by mnhq I was on and the thread was eventually deleted due to it turning in to a bun fight. But hey ho!

I don't think he's ever flirted with a woman in his life.

It would require a complete personality transplant.

All the flirty men that I know cheat on their wives/girlfriends so no I wouldn't be happy if my DH was 'flirty. I had to practically throw myself at him when we were getting together as he's pretty shy and awkward, so that gives me peace of mind.

Been with DH 33 years and he's never flirted with anyone, he's just not that type of guy.

My fil is a flirt and it's horrible and seedy.
