Is it normal to flirt with other guys when i'm in a relationship?

I've been with my boyfriend for close to five years, and we're very close. I love him deeply, and we have a great sex life.

Despite this, I still really enjoy flirting with other guys - its really just innocent, since all the coworkers and friends I work with know my boyfriend and know that I wouldn't cheat. It's as though I want continuing reassurance that I'm still attractive and desirable; I know my boyfriend thinks I'm hot, but its a totally different thing to hear that from someone who isn't emotionally and financially committed to me.

Is it normal for a woman in a healthy long-term relationship to have a little bit of a wandering eye?

    i personally think it's close to cheating if you're trying to entice another man into a relationship.

    and remember, how would you feel if your boyfriend started flirting too?

    I think it's normal, but you might want to let your boyfriend know what you're doing. Something could happen and your flirting could be misinterpreted and it could cause you unnecessary drama. As long as you're honest it's fine.

    its normal and its fun, as you say it gives you reassurance and it gives you confidence so if its harmless why not

    If you dont try anything with them, and your boyfriend doesemt care, its fine. That wouldent bother me, but if one of teh guys started to make her feel uncomfortable, i would kick his ass.

    It's normal, you're human, we all want to know we are desired. However, just remember this, never do/say anything to another guy that you wouldn't do/say in front of your bf. That would cause trouble.

    P.S. I'm new to this but I already saw someone post on a previous story with extreme emphasis not to listen to anything that budthewise person has to say. Be careful I've already seen slot of crazy angry people on here.

    however guys can get jelous so make sure he knows its harmless (if he knows at all), dont listen to `mybuttholesmellsofshit`, because apparntly his butthole smells a bit so probably has never had a girlfriend, so what the hell would he know anyway, lol :)

  • I don't know, it just seems wrong to me though. It seems that you don;'t love your husband much as you disrespect him from behind him.

    Where exactly will it stop and how far will you let it go now..in a few months...few years...ten years? It just seems like a bad idea.
