Is it normal my husband flirts because he is "just a friendly guy"?

My husband says he is "just a friendly guy" and wants me to be comfortable with him talking to other women wherever we go. He loves to make women laugh, and really enjoys female attention. This has been taken too far, where he treats me differently when a good looking woman is around he wants to talk with. Then he acts like he does't know me, or want to know me.

We get on great otherwise.

I am not comfortable with him flirting when I am with him, and when I am not with him. He says I am setting too many rules. Is this normal?

    No, it is not. 'Friendly men' do not flirt with others, they are friendly, and flirting is not usually a gesture of politeness, flirting is a gesture of romantic or sexual meaning. Your husband has no right to ask this of you.

    Flirting is ok to a point.

    What is not ok is: "Then he acts like he does't know me, or want to know me."
    There's your problem.

    You could also be «friendly» with other guys to see if likes it or not.

      I don't agree with this. Women are considered slutty if they flirt, and men are considered friendly and funny if they flirt. It is a double standard.

    So, what's to stop you from flirting? Haven't you ever heard the saying, "What's good for the gander is good for the goose"?
    See how he likes it.

    I am a friendly guy. I smile, laugh, and joke without discrimination. I am very quick to become comfortable with people and consider myself an "open book". I hang out with a lot of women and often they think that I'm hitting on them until they actually get to know me. But I would never FLIRT explicitly with a girl when I was otherwise committed. Never. That's not right, especially as a husband. Make it clear that it's something that REALLY bothers you. Little stuff like this spirals out of control very easily.

    While I wouldn't call his flirting necessarily abnormal, his ignoring you is really messed up. He's you're husband that's not right.

    Your husband is a giant turd. Flirting is not the only way to be friendly.

    Darktown is right in a sense.. you can't change him. He's already made it clear that he doesn't respect your feelings and he isn't going to change. You've either gotta put up with it or move on. Keep in mind, respect is the root of any happy relationship. If it's not there, you can never be happy.

    Perhaps you need to let your latent bisexual side come right up to the surface; then you could enjoy these women together with him........& maybe, if all three of you wanted to....take things further.

    Stop putting rules on him. Either accept him the way he is or move the fuck on
