NBR: Does your husband flirt

with other women? Do you think you would even know if he did? If he does do you mind?

Re: NBR: Does your husband flirt

  • No, he doesn't. Yes, it would bother me. He's got an innocent, baby face that he can ride. I'm not the jealous type, but for some reason flirting would bother me.

  • DH is sooooo not a flirt. It's just not his personality.

  • bwahahahahahahhaa!

    If you'd met MH you would realize why I'm laughing.  I'm not sure he could flirt if someone offered him a zillion dollars.

    So, no, he does not.  We're typically together in social situations, so I think I'd know/notice.  I wouldn't mind if he did.

    I'm very flirty; it's just part of my nature.  One of my friends swears it's because I was raised w/ all brothers and I could always flirt my way out of trouble and to get what I wanted.  I don't know if I buy that, but I know it doesn't bother my husband.

  • No, he doesn't. He's just not the "flirty" type. I'm quite certain that I would know if he was, but he honestly just doesn't have that kind of personality at all.
  • No, he doesn't flirt.  I wouldn't be happy about it if he did.
  • LOL, no he definitely doesn't.  He isn't really the flirty type.

    If he started now, yeah, I would be a little confused.  If that was how he always was, I would probably accept that as his personality.  It can cross the line, for sure, but in general, happy, outgoing, harmless flirting doesn't bother me.

  • No, but it wouldn't bother me at ALL.  I am a huge flirt--always have been, always will be.  
  • Mine doesn't in front of me, I'd be naive to think he never does!

  • Nope. I'm tryin gto think if he even flirted when we first met or started dating.

    His dad on the other hand is a huge flirt.

  • and I don't mean like cheesy flirty I mean giving complimets to other women etc.

    I am not sure if DH does..he tends to be very charming so that might come off as flirty but he would not come right out and give a compliment (physical one anyway) to another woman.

  • My DH is a flirt and very playful by nature. No, It doesnt bother me.

  • DH is flirty, always has been. I can say absolutely nothing, because I am too. It's just how we are. Does he compliment other women? At times, yes. He will do it in front of me. Does it bother me? Nope. That's just who he is.

    DITTO EXACTLY!!!  My DH is a computer engineer and works mainly with men all day, in a cubical.  They can barely communicate with each other, let alone be all suave with females.  In general, I think women make my DH nervous (myself included).  If by some fluke the charm switch turned on, I don't think I would be bothered by it, more shocked.  

    I am more of a flirt by nature, but my DH is not bothered by it.  I really don't purposefully flirt and if it did bother him, I would respect that.

    This. He flirts with my grandmother, little girls, the harried clerk at the grocery store sporting a mullet, everyone. It's his personality. I am not jealous.

    ETA: a better word is probably charming. DH is very charming. He's appropriate, which is why it doesn't bother me.

  • I am not sure, like you said, my dh can be very charming but I don't know if it is flirting. He is outgoing and talks a lot especially after he's had a drink or two.He doesn't give other women compliments that I would call inapproriate. He is charming in a way like after our wedding shower and baby shower all the older women loved him, they thought he was so funny while opening gifts...
  • not at all.  He wooed me with his good looks and smarts=P  I am super outgoing and I guess that can be flirty sometimes.  But I have always been around alot of guys, had alot of guy friends and that's the way my relationship works with alot of them.  It's just part of our joking dynamic. 

  • I doubt it.  He's fairly aloof/anti-social by nature, so I don't think he'd be bothered.  If he did, I doubt I'd care.
  • I could see that he might when I'm not around. He is a flirty type.  Plus he plays in a rock band, so I'm sure he enjoys some of the attention (yeah, I've definitely seen some women try to "entice" him.) But I trust him completely, and I know he'd never do anything, so it doesn't bother me.

    BTW, when I say "flirting," I don't mean anything more than talking. No light touching (hand on the shoulder, waist, etc.) or anything like that.

    meglew, MH is so similar!  He's a mechanical engineer and works mostly with men, and I think women make him nervous, too.  He's very funny and fun to be around but I've noticed around women he doesn't know well he's much quieter.  With guys, he doesn't act any differently.

    I kind of want a daughter just to witness him interact w/ a bunch of 10 year old girls when our daughter would have a sleepover.  It'd be priceless.

  • Yes he does (that is just him). Yes, I know when he does. No, I don't mind (it actually makes me happy to see the positive reaction from the other women. It reminds me what a great good looking man I have). :-)
  • DH and I both have "Woo" as our top strength, so its in our nature to be outgoing, talk to strangers, compliment people on whatever, etc.  I've never met a stranger and I've never been worried about going to a party where I don't know anyone....I can find SOMETHING to talk about with ANYONE.  Doesn't mean I'm flirting just because I'm talking to Tom, *** or Harry about football, their job, my job, something I heard on the news or whatever...just means I'm a friend to everyone and hate seeing people at parties not socializing.....

    Flirt? no...flirting to me is the type of conversation that means you want more than friendship.  However, because of the "woo" I have been accused of flirting.  but I'm not a flirt.  I'm a talker.

    Compliment? sure...I think DH does too...I've never seen him do it, I think I would be embarrassed if he told some woman "wow, I like your haircut" in front of me or something...but to me something like that isn't followed by "lets go fvck" or anything....just an observation. 

  • No.  My dh is very nice, and talks to pretty much everyone, but he definitely doesn't flirt.  I don't know if it would bother me or not.  It probably would just because that's not like him.  We are both pretty secure with ourselves and our relationship, so we do make comments sometimes like, "Oh, that girl is really pretty.  Or that guy is good looking." etc. but it doesn't mean anything.

    My DH has a bit of a dry/sarcastic humor that some people do not get.  When he gets nervous, this is amplified.  He and I get each other though and I find him charming in his own way.  Agreed that sleepovers with DD and her friends will be a hoot!

  • No, he never even flirted with me--LOL!  It's just not his personality--certainly never compliments others...but he does charm people on occassion because he can be very funny but it's dry humor so not everyone "gets" it.  My Mom thinks he's hilarious though.
