Quick poll, when you're in a relationship, do you still do a little harmless flirting with coworkers or people you meet in public? I truly mean harmless. Just a little innocent flirting, you never cross a line or anything.

Nope! My partner would not appreciate it and I respect myself too much to jeopardize my own integrity‼️

Yeah, but there has to be an understanding

Always hold a stare and look back if she’s cute. See whether she reciprocates. Most of the time she won’t but it’s just awesome when she does.

No.

By labeling “harmless” or “innocent”, you’re already minimizing the gesture. Rationalizing the bad behavior as acceptable.

You don’t see it as a problem and that is the problem.

It’d be different if your partner allowed it or you have some open poly arrangement.

Seems you’re automatically doing the opposite baby girl

I sometimes smile at attractive strangers who walk past me, but I never engage in conversation. Is that considered flirting?

I’m with a guy I’m 100% confident is deeply in love with me, would never lie/cheat/betray, respects me/listens to me, and tries to help me live my best life.
(A Kokoum, if you will.)
I love him very much, but I’m not “head over heels”.
Afraid that if I break it off because our relationship is cozy instead of the deep love I think it’s supposed to be for life partnership/marriage, I’ll be making the biggest mistake of my life

How do i find out if I will be happier divorced or more unhappily staying married. 2 kids; 2 & 4 YO. They don’t hear the arguments after bed time and don’t understand the bruises yet but I know it’s just a matter of time. It would be so much harder not seeing my kids everyday than living with the pain, loneliness and lost friendships. But I’m tired. And so sad. Lost. So alone.

How do I figure out spending with my SO? Initially I was paying for 90% of stuff (no actual bills, just going out). I talked to her and said we need to be more even. She was never proactive.

She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
