Let's just say you're in a relationship. It would probably be better if you were but single or not, everybody's welcome. Now, how would you react, what would you think or do, and do you think it is right or not if your partner kissed someone else right in front of you, tells you why couldn't you seem to trust him/her? Says that even if he/she flirts with others, he/she would still come home to you at the end of the day? Is it reasonable or does it entail forgiveness and understanding? What if your partner embraced someone else right in front of you as if it were them in a relationship and utterly ignoring you? That the hug was nowhere friendly and it was like being romantic toward the other person and it dragged on for quite an ample amount of time? That the other party told your partner to stop doing that or else he/she would kiss your partner and your partner just proffered his/her lips, got kissed and didn't even flinch? All that right in your face. What if you know these people he/she has done these things with because they're his/her friends that he/she introduced to you? Disclaimer: I would just want to gather opinions from people with different points of view on this topic and to rouse the ideas of others for a very interesting discussion. The given incidents are merely hypothetical in nature. Any similarity to real events is purely coincidental.

Flirting with another person right infront of the partner is a clear showing of disrespect. I would not mind my boyfriend giving a friendly warm welcome or goodbye kiss and hug to his female friends, but flirting is a different story. If I kiss my boyfriend in front of others and he seems to be very cold at me then I would rather stop doing it and find time later to talk to him and sort things out with him. I would want everything to be talked about and discussed with my boyfriend in an open-minded manner. i will never tolerate my boyfriend from showing disrespect to me in front of other people. Now if he can't get my point and will still flirt with other ladies before my very eyes, then i will just dispose him straightaway.

Very well said. True enough it is, in a way, disrespect. But somehow, sometimes, there are certain things we do that we don't have any control over, something like impulsive behavior. I mean, I disagree with the ideas I've posted but I can't say I'm for it. I sort of try to spread the idea just to understand it completely. I wouldn't blame you for what you would do, I just might as well if ever I came across such a situation. Thanks for the feedback and may this situation not happen to you in real life. =)
