I am sorry to hear that you are going through chemotherapy. I breathe in your pain, and I breathe out loving kindness for you. And I hope most fervently that you too find the path of loving kindness and openness. The path without judgment of others; the path without feeling some need to feel better than others...to feel better than strangers.
We all deal with insecurity, illness, and pain.
I find that the more I love others, the kinder I am to others, the happier I am, and the more able I am to deal with my insecurity, illness, and pain.
To call others pathetic is not the way. It is just not the way.7 -
I didn't call them pathetic I called this thread pathetic. I called the actions done pathetic. Doesn't mean they're pathetic people or anything. I just see the actions as wrong.2

But thank you much for the kind wishes!0

@Cutaway_Collar me personally I wouldn't and I don't know anyone that would be okay with it. But I assume some marriages out there are open.1

As to people here who may be telling others that their spouses are okay with it are just lying
Exactly! But if they aren't lying and their spouse is okay with it, they better start analyzing their marriage. Because if two people truly love each other, flirting with someone else wouldn't even appeal to them.0 -

Love and flirting are not the same thing. Even love and sex are not the same thing.5 -

People that are truly in open marriages don't tell their friends and family that they their marriage is open. So you wouldn't know.
Go to a swing club on a Saturday night, you won't find parking ( not that swinging is having an open relationship)3 -

Of course they aren't. Who the hell said they were? Flirting is showing off, having some fun, getting noticed and you don't have deep emotional feelings for the person - like, maybe, love, NO. And sex, oh, yeah, carnal desires, biological release, a simple pleasure - yeah exactly - it's not the same as love and doesn't require love. Marriage requires love, communication, commitment, loyalty to each other, trust and honesty. You don't have that or can't give that, and you would rather flirt and have uncomplicated sex without love, don't get married!2 -

But....you can love someone and have a great relationship AND be mature about the fact that your spouse will find other people attractive. And that has nothing to do with you, or be a threat to your love and relationship. And being able to be honest about that with your spouse is the highest level of trust there is.5 -
I think it boils down to ego. People who get upset about their SO flirting are subconsciously worried about the bruising their ego might take. My wife is touchy about it to a degree but she knows I'm "flirty." I don't set out to do it but apparently I flirt. I couldn't care less if guys look at her or she is flirty with someone else by chance. I can't and wouldn't want to control her in any way so I don't worry about the "what ifs."0

I think it has to do with self confidence.
Either my husband flirts or not, has nothing to do with who I am, or who much he loves me.
Most people are not okay with it because they look at it as a threat. It's not. If some person your spouse barely knows is a threat to your relationship, then you got bigger problems.4 -
I'm from an old country mining town, lol they're ain't no swing clubs around here. I got a gas station that's it.0

And to everyone I never said open marriages weren't okay. I said if your spouse doesn't know it's a problem. But if your spouse is okay with it do your thing. We all have different limits and different things we'd be into. I'm old fashion so I wouldn't ever be able to do that! but you guys can and more power to you guys for that level!2

Don't worry, some people just can't wrap their heads around the idea that other people think and live differently than they do.
EXACTLY ... AND THAT GOES BOTH WAYS! No judgments, no assumptions, no one is pathetic and everyone has different views.2 -

It doesn’t all come down to ego; sometimes it comes down to religion and ones belief system. I wouldn’t be in an open marriage bc my faith says it’s wrong and condemns it. Flirting isn’t harmless when you believe lusting is wrong. If one believes that the sole purpose of a marriage is to glorify their creator and be a representation of Christ’s love for the church, that cant in good conscience be defiled. For me it has nothing to do with ego, but what I believe is right and wrong. And everyone will believe differently. Xoxoxo6 -
Flirting is cheating of the heart and if you think it's harmless, you're wrong. I guarantee unless you are in an open relationship in which you and your wife are allowed to f@#k around on one another, there will be harm. Your wife will begin to lose all trust in you and always wonder if you're cheating around on her. She will analyze every female you have contact with and worry if that is the one you're screwing behind her back.4
