Thank you SCM for mentioning this...when I saw this thread it's the FIRST thing I thought of. And I thought "oh great, this is ALL I needed to hear on a day when I've felt like crap anyway."
Oh well....if flirting from some woman makes him love me less then it's best he get gone...the song "Irreplaceable" by Beyonce comes to mind here:
"So since I'm not your everything
how 'bout I'll be nothing,
nothing at all to you,
baby I won't shed a tear for you
I won't lose a wink of sleep
cause the truth of the matter is
replacing you is so easy"
You know, everyone has their own version of what they think is cheating...it ranges for people from flirting all the way to sex. For me, flirting is cheating. I can understand how flirting made my hubby feel good, boosted his pride etc...but the point is it was NOT me doing this to him. I try to compliment him ALL the time. And I do, so WHY should someone else's flirting get him more proud/excited/boostful than mine?
I've made it clear I compliment him ALOT, and if I'm not enough he needs to go find someone else.
To me flirting is cheating and after the disaster with my 1st ex-hubby I SWORE I would never put up with that again.
I have gave now hubby ONE chance...if he screws up again, I'm gone. I am NOT putting up with the worry/fear/pain/un-knowingness again.
