Pink, i see your point that you feel sorry that i slowly began to hate the girl in question, truth is i loathed her!!!!!! Hubby used to smile sweetly back at her, but his mates used to rib him and say she was "gagging for it" , i see that your laughter etc is not on the same level at all....... Maybe your question should have read 'is it wrong to laugh and joke with my married friends?' and of course the answer would have been a resounding NO.........

If you know a person is married then have a laugh.Flirting is what my 18 yr old does down the nightclub and she calls it pulled .

I don't regard having a joke and a laugh as flirting. Flirting, to my mind, has some sort of sexual charge even if both parties have no intention of taking things further. I'm a hopeless flirt, always have been even when I was fancy free, I always find it a bit 'cringy' when other people do it, but that's just me, lol! I wouldn't like other women flirting with OH, well not when I'm there.

I think it's dangerous and I have heard of a few men who have got the wrong impression - flirting is not the same as having a laugh.

Call me old fashioned but if someone started flirting with my husband i would soon tell them where to go.
If they cannot find a man of there own there must be something wrong.

Pink,,

So is there talk about you within your group of married friends for this person to be concerned of you being in her man's company,?

i agree with kay it depends to what degre the flirting is everyone will have different opinions on what is flirtin and what is banter

but if you have been friends for over 20 yrs i suspect u will no what the "wives" will tolerate and wat they wont

No probs with a bit of fun and laughter.

Flirting? Another matter altogether.

Not on, especially in front of the oh, so don't be surprised if you get a smack in the gob.

In my opinion 'flirting' suggest that there may be some sort of sexual ego going on...why would you want to 'flirt' with your friends partners.?..
I think you are on dangerous grounds. these things always have a way of back-firing on you.....
even if your friends say they dont mind, or dont take you seriously things could still get out of hand.
you could be the subject of ridicule or blame should they have problems at sometime in their relationship,
how would you feel if you had a bad day, and felt a little low, and someone flirted with your loved one.?

I would save your flirting for someone not connected to your circle of friends, or to some-one you really fancy and want to be with....

as you asked,,,

**Is it wrong to flirt with a married man**

Flirting is giving another person there is a degree of intrest in them,and if oppertunity arose boundries maybe crossed,

Flirting to me is ,touching,kissing ,overly attention,

But friendly open banter I dont see as a threat or great problem,,and is not flirting,

If you have had good friends for over 20years then there is a degree of trust,so shouldnt woory about it,

pink-can of worms comes to mind,lol! I thinkopinions will depend on experiences,i had an experience not long ago with a woman at work who was flirting with my OH (who works at same lpace but different shift),i was getting all kinds of reports of her behaviour and could do nothing(due to my position),he couldnt see it,but after pointing it out,in no uncertain terms,he spoke to her and it stopped-like i say experiences will influence opinions

That sums it perfectly for me Pink,

My OH and I work in the same place, I have a laugh with his male mates, he with my female ones. If it happened whilst i wasnt there Id be furious as I dont think thats on.

Its all about honesty and truth with each other.

Wasn't being personal, said I was playing devils advocate. That's all.

But if the person who commented doesn't even know you and you're sure your friends and their wives are ok with it then I wouldn't worry.
