Do you agree that it is your responsibility to let someone know you're married if they're interested in you?

Question

Suppose you're flirting with someone and they're reciprocating and are clearly showing interest in wanting something more with you isn't it your responsibility to let me them know you're taken? Things shouldn't have gone this far in the first place.

I do not think someone should deliberately flirt w someone else if they are married or in any type of committed relationship. However there are times when someone is flirting with you and you have to decide whether to be nice, which could be taken as flirting a little. I usually decide to be nice and that is one thing that I think I need to get better at, being polite wo seeming like I am flirting. That said, any time I feel like this is happening, I go out of my way to mention my fiance. Like if he is drinking whiskey I might say "my fiance also likes bourbon" or whatever. JMO!

I’d say it’s more a responsibility not to be flirting with anyone if already in any committed relationship…

I don't think people should be flirting when they are married period. I know a lot of women do it, and seem to think it's fine as long as nothing actually happens. But I tend to disagree.

If you wouldn't do it in front of your husband, then it's probably something that you shouldn't be doing. And the other way around with men.

No. It is your responsibility to not flirt! If you are married, you are disrespecting your spouse by flirting. And you are also misleading the person with whom you are flirting. SO wrong!

I think it’s more accurate to say that it is your responsibility to let somebody know you are unavailable if you are unavailable. Not all marriages are closed, and marriage isn’t the only reason that a person is unavailable to date. But yes, the general sentiment is accurate. Not telling them is just pretty shitty.

This is a question of integrity. When married and in a relationship as well you should not act available and you should not be available on that level for anyone other then you significant other.

I was in Toronto at this club & met a girl who as you said was very flirty, touching and hugging me as we danced. I went for a kiss she pulled away and commented she wanted to but couldn’t. I was like 🤷‍♂️ Wtf?

She admitted being married so I asked what the hell was she doing? I walked away but then she went full in started saying she didn’t care and wanted me. I told her off.

I can sometimes talk to a girl for 5 or 10 minutes before asking ask for their number and then having them say they have a boyfriend. Rarely ever do I recall being cutoff as soon as I told them why I came up to them, and I usually say that in the beginning. I don't know, I think they're just being polite.

desidoll · Answer

Yes. Leading people is totally selfish. I am very honest with my status whenever I feel like the guy is showing interest in me.

lightbulb27 · Answer

don't flirt yes, inform them you are married and say no to advances anything else, person needs some emotional counsel.

mommymommymommy · Answer

That's usually implied with a wedding ring anyway, however, it's always good to just clarify that you are indeed, married, so that the other person can just move on, and leave you alone. Yes, I said LEAVE YOU ALONE

Rockstarrrrr · Answer

I don't know that would sound a little arrogant or corny lol... I think it's better to tell them when they make a big gesture... While keeping your boundaries of course...
