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?

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. =)
