DH seems to encourage my flirtatiousness

[kdnj123]

We've always been very comfortable in our relationship (married for 13 years). Recently I've got back into shape and lost a lot of weight. DH is the opposite of jealous. If I flirt with our male friends - he either laughs it off, or occasionally even encourages me. He seemed delighted that he caught our 17 year old male babysitter "checking me out" as we left to go out at the weekend. Should I be flattered or concerned?

PS Definitely do NOT intend for my mild flirtatiousness to lead anywhere.

Flattered. He's proud of you, and obviously feels secure too. Enjoy.

i'd be very flattered. Do you want him to be jealous and possessive instead? I think he's proud of you too!

You're both right. Thank you. I know this is very trivial compared to most of the serious relationships issues people are dealing with. I should be grateful. I guess I'm also worried how it might come across to others (both male and female friends). I've always been very comfortable in male company. This, coupled with my restored confidence and DH's appearing happy with it - might it just appear a bit strange?
