Why do some married people also flirt?

Question

Rosexøxø · Accepted Answer

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.

I think some people do it unconsciously and are just naturally flirty people. Really not going to knock that too much so long as no lines are being crossed/partner is okay with it. Otherwise probably as confirmation that other people find them attractive and/or they’re attracted to the other person, which would both mean something is lacking in their current relationship and they should probably work on that

Finchie40 · Answer

probably because they aren't satisfied in their marriage, something is missing, so they look for it elsewhere, happens more than we like to think it does

IslaTheWitch · Answer

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

emotional dissatisfaction, boredom, or feeling neglected in the relationship

Texaskid1 · Answer

They get bored with their man or they need something from you or they need some ego boost. At work I have had a few married women flirt with me. I hard ignore that as: 1) I don't shit where I eat 2) I don't need some angry husband trying to kill me.

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 · Answer

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

Nikki1989 · Answer

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

jkreuger95 · Answer

I remember being a huge flirt when I was a kid so I guess I don't understand. You can flirt without having the intention of it going any farther than the conversation

Agape93 · Answer

Because it's harmless

janemarie15 · Answer

Sometimes, emotional needs aren't being met. :( Also, they crave excitement or novelty

MJVillarama · Answer

Sometimes people crave attention or excitement, even when they’re married. Doesn’t always mean something serious, but it’s messy territory!

Chayce · Answer

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

CountryWanderer · Answer

You mean, with other people? Because they aren't content/faithful to their spouse.

Wiredone · Answer

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

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

igdsh3 · Answer

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.
