Why do some married people also flirt?

[Anonymous]

If they do that I would say they’re not content. With what they already have. Whether both discuss the boundaries and T & C of it all or if they just take it upon themselves to flirt… it’s always gonna boil down to being what they have already they view it as not enough. And are not fully content.

Even if the excuse was “just how I am.” “It’s a habit.” You don’t continue certain habits that are morally wrong, hurt, or betray the one (s) you love. In this case- THE ONE ☝️ you love (or should’ve loved).

For validation and an ego boost, I can only assume that men and women who do this want to feel desired and validated by the opposite sex.

Some people are just naturally like this, doesn’t matter if they were married to a supermodel. It’s more if their partners can deal with it I guess and it’s not disrespectful to them.

Of course some people may actually flirt because they are bored and looking to get out of a relationship, but obviously not the right way to do it.

They are dissatisfied with their spouse. It is fairly categorical that married people who flirt are less satisfied as there is good correlation in surveys.

However which is the chicken. Flirting could lead to dissatisfaction or dissatisfaction could lead to flirting.

Intuitively, I am inclined to think flirting causes dissatisfaction since if there is a positive response the thought 'I could be with them' has to occur.

Damn, I'm seeing mixed opinions on this, that's how you know you asked a good question, even though it shouldn't be a discussion. You don't flirt with people when you're in a relationship, if you do just stay out of a relationship..

You aren't made for committment or a relationship. Anyone who wants to say "you're to young" or "you're are insecure" clearly has no idea on what loyalty really is.

*"You're insecure"* (fixing a typo)

[IslaTheWitch]

because flirt is fun...

it's not an invitation for sex... it's just a playful banter...

being married/in a relationship doesn't mean I can't be myself... it means I've chosen one man I'm with... I'm loyal to him, I respect him and I love him... but I'm still playful Isla and I get my laugh in every day situations... :D

[blackeagle007]

You think your husband would approve? What if he flirts with other women?

[IslaTheWitch]

@blackeagle007 my both partners approved... they knew I wouldn't do anything not acceptable in our relationship... one of them also flirted and were playful with other people...

it's called trust... I didn't assume he had bad intentions he didn't assume I had bad intentions... we also flirted with each other daily... it was our way :D

Well, it is possible that they have always been flirty right from the time they were single or from their college days. Basic personality traits rarely ever changes.

[zoe2187]

Because they don’t want to be married. Or they might not be flirting. Some people are just friendly.

[Agape93]

Because it's harmless

[Asker]

Who said it's harmless, it's dangerous for true relationship

[BarryLiverstone]

It’s harmless. No danger as their partner trusts them

[Agape93]

Exactly. Trust them and don't be jealous. It's just a flirt, I hit on people all the time and my partners know I'm not wanting to fuck em.

[Nikki1989]

Ask married men. They do it the most. I know as I experience it almost every day at work.

[blackeagle007]

Nikki, you know women do that too. Come on

[Agape93]

"They do it the most" she acknowledged it

[blackeagle007]

@Agape93 I think women do it more. Do little teases with men

[Agape93]

That's just how y'all keep misinterpreting us.

[blackeagle007]

@Agape93 you got your version. I got mine

[Agape93]

Mines the correct one, but whatever.

[blackeagle007]

@Agape93 not buying it

[Agape93]

And that's why you're liable to get arrested someday.

[blackeagle007]

@Agape93 arrested for what?

[Agape93]

Harassment, stalking, rape etc., anything stemming because you misinterpret women and refuse to think otherwise.

[blackeagle007]

That’s a terrible accusation without proof. I respect all. And I mean all

[Chayce]

We're living in fickle times. Gotta keep that game sharp in case the SO runs off unexpectedly

[Wiredone]

You can flirt just for fun. If I put a smile on her face when I flirt then I made her day just a little bit better

[loverguy123123123]

Unhappy in their marriage. Curious for something more. To get something out of them

[Anonymous]

Because you can't eat the same food every day. You need to taste different flavors. 😉

[igdsh3]

Because they're miserable in their marriage. They're sheep and followers. They've allowed society to trick them into thinking having kids and getting married brings happiness lol.

[alice55]

[Anonymous]

[WonderingManII]

[Sluttt]

[Godihateyou]

[Anonymous]

Maybe they lack loyalty.

[chocolatetwopointo]
