Disgust.
My nesting partner works with his other GF, so yeah, I’d expect them to flirt, lol.
I’d laugh and ask what they look like 😉
Is it serious flirting (sexual) or more being funny and the life of the party. These are not the same thing.
I know a few people who are constant flirts but it’s always innocent. I’d feel okay about it until there was evidence that it moved past being flirty.
Humiliated, repulsed, insulted and very fucking angry.
My husband is Hank Hill type respectful to me and our relationship, it would be very out of character for him. I also thinking trying to flirt with people at work is just generally icky.
Micro-cheating. Might not be outright cheating by most definitions, but it’s enough to sow seeds of distrust in the relationship, as there’s a logical worry that the behavior may progress. In other words, fuck that! No one gets to flirt with my man except me
Depends on his personality. If he is generally an extrovert, life of the party type and just throws jokes and compliments around, I guess that’s just what it is. I had an ex like that, and it was a non-issue.
If he texts people after work, or flirts on the phone, it’s heavy with sexual innuendo and only does it with one specific coworker that’s another thing. I wouldn’t like that for sure and have a serious conversation.
I would be concerned that it might be unwelcome and/or a violation of policy.
I don’t care if he flirts. I do care if he loses his job or makes someone uncomfortable.
i think it depends. is this a tipping job where potential flirting could get them more money? or are they just doing it
I would dump him and definitely not have his baby. He was lining them up when I was pregnant, dumped me, and fkd them all while I went to doctor appts by myself.
Cringe!!!!! big time. Not because of flirting in general but because it’s totally gross to flirt with people at work. Like theeee biggest turnoff ever. Flirting can come across as creepy and gross in about a millisecond. There is a verrrrrrry fine line with flirting best not even walked unless it’s a legit mutual attraction situation. Of course work is the least appropriate place for this. And for someone in a relationship – for me, the act of flirting per my comments here show a partner to be potentially gross and creepy (more so than generate feelings of jealousy) which is more than enough to break up. It’s def a red flag.
Not work, but …my ex husband used to call waitresses and cashiers by pet names….and wore too much cheap cologne. Learned these things from his dad. Sooooooo glad I’m not married to him anymore. Literally disgusts me to think about. 🤮
Break up
For me that’s a deal breaker. I’ve experienced too much sexual harassment at work, any inappropriate behaviour at work makes me all kinds of disgusted immediately, whether or not any other person encourages it. Assuming it is actually flirting, obviously.
Pissed.
That’s break up territory for me. I don’t like it. Even if it’s innocent enough , plenty of people are innocent flirts, and that personality type doesn’t mesh with me on a romantic level. I am faithful and loyal, doggedly so. I expect the same from my partner.
