Why do taken guys in a relationship or married flirt with women?

[Anonymous]

Are they just super unhappy? Why don’t they end the relationship completely? I’ve had this happen to me recently where a guy in a relationship has flirted with me.

Yes, they are unhappy with their wife. But the thing is marriage usually has other strings attached to it than just sex. They are financially linked, they may have children and the hassle and negative opinions of divorce can keep them together as well.

So, yeah flirting with you was just a easy way out for them.

What if they go and ask the girl for her number and stuff knowing it could fuck the relationship up? True true.. this is a guy who just has a girlfriend not married but still sketchy.

Oh, they 100% know it could fuck up their relationship. That's part of the thrill to some men. If the guy you are talking about is not married. He may not be that serious with his girlfriend to start with.

Flirting is unavoidable in my opinion, why does it bother that much though?

[Asker]

I was in that situation today and a guy who is in a relationship was flirting with me it was so random and out of the blue.. I’ve had guys flirt with me before of course but basically the first time someone who’s taken has flirted with me

[warsevf]

Ohh depends on the guy's intention. I flirt with married woman, but i don't want to do anything with her.

But better safe be sorry i think. Anyway i am a novice in this stuff, so i just have that energy that most people loose after marriage. hmmm

@warsevf he tried to ask for my number basically.

It's because they want to be married and have a girlfriend at the same time they want to be both things they want to do everything and you can't really do that but they don't they don't let themselves understand that they know it but they just not listen to their own head

If you think about it, marriage only benefits women
