I was on the phone awhile ago talking with a male cousin. He was drunk and airing out some marital problems with his wife. He said his wife is flirting with one of his male friend. Allegedly he said his wife agreed to go on a karaoke date with just his friend and nobody else accompanied them. A common friend saw them having fun while in a karaoke bar. I told my cousin to talk to his wife if that news was true and not just get drunk over some hearsay he got from other people. Although he said he will, I still doubt it's gonna be some heated arguments on the way for the couple. I just hope they could patch up indifferences between them.
Is it taboo to flirt for married people? Are going on dates considered flirting for someone who is already married?

of course it is... i will be angry as well if my hubby going out with other woman just by the two of them... i can't accept it... flirting is totally unacceptable for married couple even though they say that it involves no relationship... couple have to be faithful to each other and flirting showed unfaithfulness... that is my opinion... take care and have a nice day...

I guess I just have to respect others opinion about this. At least we're still on the same boat of managing marriages so well. Have a nice day also lingli! :-)

seriously if you are married and with a serious relationship with your husband, its not right for wives to flirt or go with somebody else, you are just making your own problem with your own husband.. you should learn to behave as well to take care of your family..!!!

I agree and be extra careful if one partner need to have to go out with friends to be cautious with your partners feeling and due respect should be given by telling him/here where will you be to have fun and be mindful of your limitations.

i think when your in a serious relationship flirting with someone else even if its harmless is still cheating on your partner and disrespectful because instead of being romantic with your partner your being with someone else

Yes.Your cousin friend is not a friend at all If he goes out with your cousin wife and your cousin not invited or doesn't know that his friend and wife is kicking it.That is very disrespectful..

I really don't know whether his wife really was disrespectful for not telling my cousin her whereabouts that night or who has the fault with the both of them. But when I talked to him this morning and learned about that everything's fine - I shut up and asked no further question. They both have spoken what to do with their married life and I am in no authority to ask moot and academic questions anymore. The most important thing to do is that - everything is well now.

But just the same an open mind must be a good foundation for all these things. We need not blame the trivialities of a place to answer for one's folly. It's the people that living inside it that makes a place full of temptation.
