Is flirting post-marriage OK?

No! Flirting id not ok or accepted by me. Whether the person doing it is single or married. And married people should be ashamed of it. But we see lots of people doing it everywhere and it's frustrating!

I used to be an uncontrollable flirt. Probably up until the day I got married I would flirt with anyone and everyone, men or women. It was always harmless though. But now after being married for almost a year, I have limited my flirting to my closest friends and it is still harmless. And since most of it is done online, my husband knows all about it because I don't hide it from him. It doesn't start arguments anymore because he realized I wouldn't be me if I didn't flirt. And he loves me :) But the woman you speak of is doing a little more than flirting. If what she is doing is harmless then there should be no reason why she isn't going out in groups, not one on one. But I guess if her husband is ok with it and not fighting with her about it in front of any kids that might be present then to each their own.

she must be screaming for attention that she never got growing up! i can't stand women like that especially because most of the time they r flirting with married men... i blame the men too for giving her the attention she's so desperately seeking. i'm sure if they were to shoot her down and tell her to act professionally she'd stop but i'm pretty sure they don't!

i think that is very wrong,flirting can be very dangerous ,if one is not wise.i am no saint and i do flirting once in a while but only with friends who know i am not at all serious.(joking)

Sudipta, Flirting in any part of life,either by males or females, is highly objectionable and dangerous to our society and morality as a whole.The plight of western women is quite obvious to all.The concepts of marriage, family life,modesty and chastity have vanished and dating has taken over as the only source of satisfaction for the new generation......We should never be effected by the western culture and try to revive our own moral values for a happy, sinless life.

To me as an spectator of what's happening around, seeing female acquaintances openly flirting with men who are not their husbands, the scene is just not right in the eyes of God. But while reading this whole discussion, these questions are for me: "By my shortly holding the hand of a close male friend while my husband is with me, does that denote flirting? Talking with a group while my hand is resting on one of the men's shoulder or giving a pat to their backs while enjoying fun and laughter, will that portray me as a flirt?" I've been that way since i joined a fraternity/sorority in college and carried that to my line of work. I met my husband and he knows this is just my jolly attitude. I am happily married and i should say flirting when you are a married woman is not to be accepted. People despise women who blatantly display such inappropriate actions. I may be unaware of it but do people see me as such? I am a "talk and touch" kind of a communicator. Do i need to refrain from doing that when my own husband sees nothing wrong in it? I don't know your colleague personally but if you consider her as such and you are concerned about her then perhaps you can find a way to talk to her about it. But if she is one who does not care who she offends or hurts then we can do nothing but pray for her. I for one would appreciate it if someone comes to me and help me be a better person, a better friend, a better woman, a better wife. And i'm sure my husband would be the first to do that for me. Hi sudipta! Thank you for this eye-opening discussion. I'll go ask my husband's opinion i'm sure he'd love to discuss things like these!

Hi! Sudipta! I think if your friend is indulging in lighter fun and flirting, I think there is not a serious issue. If she knows that where are the limits and she should not cross the limits, then she can allow herself the enjoyment. I have not come across a woman specially in my office, who indulges in such kind of activities. However, some men could be who enjoy doing it, but our office environment is such that one cannot take much liberty and one has to be within limits.

Light flirting is okay for me, if it is not harming the relationship between spouses. It becomes a problem when a guy use to cross the limit by touching the girls. No, I don't know anyone who is good at flirting without knowledge of his wife!

No, I don't think it's okay. Whether she just playing around and mean no harm, it still wrong. Don't spark fire with fire. It might end up worst. Whatever her intention is, she should stop it. Her husband might be nice but you will never figure out what he'll do if he find out. The worst, her kids know about it. They might be disgusted with her action.

Of course not.
