central Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I expect loyalty and fidelity and give it in return. I don't care about a little flirting if boundaries are observed beyond that - flirting is innocent fun, to a point. I'm not interested in policing the relationship. If my wife/gf can't control herself, her boundaries, and how she interacts with other men, then we'll be finished. I will be observant, but neither paranoid nor naively trusting.

carhill Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 How to respond to other guys flirting with your girlfriend? Flirt with their girlfriend or wife. If none are available, smile. Your partner has been flirted with since she started sprouting breasts when an adolescent. She knows what to do. If she likes them more than you, well, people are replaceable. You, her, anyone. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
