Women flirting with my partner

My partner recently had a woman ask if he was single. He met her years ago at an activity group. He told her he is not single and showed me the message. She messaged him while I was there and he told me. She does this every 6 months. He’s not interested. She pretended after she was rejected that she met someone after she was fishing to see if he was single.

Then as his job is selling second hand goods we were out and there was a woman he knows on the selling circuit. She comes up behind him and put her hand on his shoulder saying she needs to tell him something and will tell him when she next sees him at the place they buy goods from. He kept asking then she said she wants to open a shop and does he wants to sell his stuff there. It’s like she wants him to grovel me what her secret it and me to not know.

I did stand back once they started talking but could hear what they were saying. I think he thought the same from her body language etc she was interested as he tried to say me and him will be going to the sourcing place soon but she couldn’t care less. I don’t feel threatened but why do some women think they can try it on with someone in a relationship and even right in front of them.

He doesn’t flirt but is a nice guy. My partner adores me and is trustworthy and would never cheat. It just annoys me people try and intervene.

I've been married 35 years and women have always flirted with my DH. He's generally oblivious! It makes me laugh rather than annoys me. I know he's not interested in anyone else so why would it bother me?

Some women just flirt naturally. Some women are also incredibly possessive and assume all women are flirting.

Do you think there's a chance you're insecure and think everyone wants your man? Who's probably very mediocre.

Some women are natural flirts when it comes to men. So perhaps not intentional although the first one does seem. Once women are interested or show they’re interested then anything he does that’s even slightly friendly would be a lead for her to carry on. You mentioned he’s a nice guy so maybe give him the heads up that if he knows first woman likes him.

No because other women don’t do this and he knows lots of women. Just these 2.

And some women like causing mischief and the challenge of deliberate breakup attempts.

Ah to be fair that’s not a majority. Id never assume that.
