Flirting Dilemma

9 replies

BusyBeeSometimesBusy · 09/02/2024 19:48

Happily married for a long time.

A bit of work place on and off flirting. Nothing more and I would never take it further.

He has made his feelings known to me which I have brushed off/ignored. His flirting calmed down for a while.
The flirting has started up again, I am trying not to flirt back but sometimes find myself getting carried away and flirting as well. I usually just move on with whatever conversation we were having.

Is this ok? What are people thinking about this?

How would you feel if ur husband was doing this?

No it’s not ok. He’s got feelings for you. It’s not mild flirting it sounds like something that could potentially cross a line

Hmm .... just stop it. You are not obliged to flirt, but you are obliged to be faithful to your husband.

I'm thinking that you're very flattered and in old-school parlance, you may be leading him on

This, really. I genuinely wouldn't care about a bit of banter between my husband and a workmate but if he knew she had actual feelings for him and continued I'd think very negatively of him.

No it’s not ok & I think you know that

You're playing with fire . Stop before you end getting burnt and risking your marriage.

Picture yourself telling your husband that you want a divorce.
And then picture yourself getting married to your colleague.
(Picture your ex-husband flirting with a colleague of his, and getting married to her.)

Is that what you want?

Happy or bored? Are you okay with your husband flirting with other women?

It sounds a bit cringe to me.
