What's wrong with a married man giving a woman who's married a compliment?

[Anonymous]

He said I was beautiful and that's it.

[mobiusforniner]

Hmmm…. lots of people say it’s fine. But as a married guy who’s done this, I’ve only ever told a woman she’s beautiful when I really like her. Like, like-like her.

if you feel flattered, it’s because he wants you to be. And, what’s wrong with that? I think that answers itself.

There's nothing wrong with that. A man compliments a woman when he sees something he likes.

What’s wrong with it? It’s disrespectful to his wife if she wasn’t standing there when he said it , it’s something he could have kept to himself instead of letting the girl know that he finds her beautiful. So it’s definitely something that is in the gray area that could possibly be a red flag. Why sadly a lot of relationships don’t make it these days because people are selfish and only truly think about themselves and what is best for themselves , they don’t wear Their partners shoes the same way they expect their partner to wear theirs , So if he is saying this without his wife knowing , he is already cheating on his wife emotionally , because I guarantee he wouldn’t say that shit if she was standing there.

It depends on your attachment status, whether there has ever been any dating or reomantic intereste between the two of you, the nature of your relationship, and whether he would still feel free to say that to you if his wife was present and listening to the conversation.

Nothing wrong with paying someone a compliment... so long as the intent is not leading to something more.

[EmmaMary]

Absolutely none whatsoever... I myself have had some lovely compliments from several married men friends of mine.

I've also seen and heard my husband do precisely the same to married female friends of his.

On the right occasions I consider it to be a most natural and polite thing to do.

Nothing. There is nothing wrong with complimenting another human being.


Y’all just like to make everything such a big deal.


What’s the problem with a married man complimenting a woman that is beauty? She is beautiful but y’all are out to get him and turn him into this picture that he is doing something bad.

[IslaTheWitch]

There is nothing wrong. Especially, as you wrote, "and that's it"

So everything is fine. Enjoy

[BrownSugar00]

Nothing. I don't think anything is wrong. If I was married and my husband gave a woman a compliment, I wouldn't mind. But it's the act of acting on desires and looking at her with desire that's the problem.

I think it depends on the context. You look beautiful today/you look beautiful in that dress, is different to you are beautiful/I think you’re beautiful.

[Sparkie460]

There's nothing wrong with that. I'm married and do it a lot to women. If I make 1 woman smile and she has a better day because of me saying that, I'm going to keep doing it

NOthing at all. Compliments of that ilk are great! Say thank you and smile!

[HawkPerception]

There is nothing wrong with a compliment. Everyone likes compliments. It only becomes wrong if the man knows you're married and tries hitting on you.

[rosemilk]

okay and who said it was wrong? your husband? if so then maybe talk to him and ask him, not the internet

[exitseven]

I do not think there is anything wrong with it.

[clampfan101]

Nothing so long as they’re not sexual.
Any even then, some people have exceptions they’re personally only with. (for example some people are fine with people simply calling their partner hot.)

[Altheavas]

It’s should be fine🙄, it’s all about the contexts.

[Gramkabir]

What's wrong with that? Every person has the right to appreciate good things. This law applies to both bachelors and Dead (Married) people...

[Ms_Facesitter]

The intent behind the compliment is what could make it wrong.

[HaveNoName]

The answer lies in: Does his wife know that? Would he have said that in presence of his wife without the wife getting upset?

[genericname85]

if it's just that, then there's nothing wrong with it.

[Jamie05rhs]

Because that's not his job. That's your husband's job.

[Jamie05rhs]

And his job is to compliment his OWN wife!

[Wise4myage]

I think its fine, but his wife might think otherwise.

[Nikki1989]

There is nothing wrong with that.

[Apple1996]

There is nothing wrong with that

[Paris13]

Kind of Flirty. xxoo

[Kelly6]

nothing wrong to complement a married woman

[thatshydork]

Nothing if that’s truly all that happened

[molonski2]

Absolutely NOTHING wrong with that.

[red324]

because you are both married!

[jahaims]

That can be okay depending on the context

[pethouse]

I guess it depends on the compliment

[In_Trance]

Ask his wife; she'll tell you what's wrong with it

[Hotboy_booblover]

Beginning of something new..

[boggboss]

[Anonymous]

Nothing, it is beautiful and natural.

[riverrat3]
