Every now and then when we are out on a night with the girls, at work, or even simply out shopping, and we run into someone who finds us attractive.
Whether it is the absence of a ring, the hint that you may be available, or just the lack of caring if we are single or not, we get hit on. Another man flirts with us or makes a comment that applies that he is interested in us.
How do you handle it?
How many of you rush home with the guilt of being looked at by another man and confess all to your husband?
How many of you secretly keep it to yourself for fear that your husband will think that you initiated it or will not let you out of the house again?
How many of you pass it off, find it unflattering, and never think of it anymore?
How many of you cannot wait to rush home and tell your husband that another man finds you desirable? You are hoping to arouse just the slightest bit of jealousy if possible.
I find myself in the last category. My husband is often not jealous, or at least appears not to be. Although I do usually tell him, I take into consideration of whom the flirting is coming from. If the situation can lead to an argument, I usually leave it unsaid. For example if it is an ex boyfriend or a person that my husband will try to say that I was flirting back with, I find it best left unsaid.
While it may be innocent enough, I think that it is good for your husband to know that other men find you attractive. While you are not available, I think that it does him good to know that you are still looked at by other men. This hint of a threat can help him see that he has something to cherish and to hang on to.
