Everyone needs to flirt, it is a huge confidence boost. However there is flirting and then innuendo's to future interactions. Text messages sound like the latter.

It's just my opinion, but I would have to disagree with you on this...ever since I fell in love with my husband I have never felt the need to flirt with another man (or woman for that matter), and I would never disrespect him in this way. My husbands love and my own self esteem give me enough confidence to slay dragons, I don't need to turn to strangers and flirtations to find it.

Flirting could be construed as "innuendo of future interactions" because when you flirt, you are acknowledging your sexual awareness of the other person, and acting on it by letting them know with your body language/words you find them attractive...you expect it in return as well, otherwise, what was the point of flirting in the first place?

I think flirting is just as much cheating as the physical act...it's cheating emotionally, psychologically, and mentally.

But that's just my opinion.

My thinking is more in line with hys on flirting. Flirting can be playful and fun with no intention or action to take it to cheating. In that end, you can flirt with someone who is not your type at all. You can flirt with someone who is 40 or 50 years older than you are and make for a pleasant evening.

Jns, I agree in sense that if your partner does not feel disrespected by the flirting as in its not sexual by in means.. But I think we were talking about flirting in a sense that it is clearly inappropriate it and could potentially lead to more than that. Like wickedvegas INK said " innuendo of future interactions "

I agree with time2 discover,
Once the lies start it goes downhill from there.
Take this time to work on yourself and take care of yourself.
Let him come back to you.

Good luck.
