Is it right for a married woman to flirt? I found out my wife exchange dirty text messages with her male workmate sometimes telling him she misses him and is thinking about him during the weekends. I confronted her about it and she admits it was just flirting there is nothing between them. I know she loves me but am I wrong to call an end to this ‘relationship’. – Mr Right
Dear Mr Right
According to my understanding of flirting, it is behaving like you are in love though without serious intentions. It is very unhealthy for a married man or woman to indulge in such behaviour. One does not want to send the wrong message to the other person. Her workmate may take her messages seriously and sometimes it is dangerous to trust oneself to the extent of attracting such temptations.
Even if it is just flirting to both of them, the bottom line is you are uncomfortable with the messages. You have the right to say how you feel and ask her to stop. Such small things can help drift partners apart and your wife cannot afford to make you jealous and endanger your trust if your marriage means a lot to her. You are not wrong in calling for an end to the relationship because all you are doing is to protect your marriage. You both need to do things the other person is okay with. – Aunty Lisa
