The problem is my husband,constantly flirts with all my mates,to the stage now where hes making himself look a complete prat.
Dont know if he does it as a joke or does he really mean the stuff he comes out with,for example,the other day he asked my best mate to stay the night and sleep with him in our bed,that really got fireworks starting.Now my mate has it in her head that he fancies her,he also insists on driving her home each time she comes up to ours.
If he flirts the way he does in front of me i dread to think what he gets up to behind my back.Help

I could delve into this asking you twenty questions but bottom-line is I think you need a mate who respects and loves you - not this yahoo.

I think flirting is OK, but there are rules - and inviting someone to sleep in your bed is definitely beyond them.

I always thought the game in flirting was to make the other person *think* that you are attracted to them, but never let them know for sure. No specific suggestions, certainly no touching. Basically a nice game where you make the other person feel wanted, but not pressured. And where if your SO notices, they feel amused, but not threatened.
