Though it may be hard to believe....I am a somewhat flirtatious person, and my wife is well aware of this. We communicate very well, and she has no problem telling me when I might be crossing into the "Leading On" territory. Personality plays a very powerful role in the interaction between the sexes, and if you do not understand the way your SO's mind works (intent), it is likely there will be misunderstanding. Communication is the key to ANY relationship, and cannot be stressed enough.
My wife has no issue with the way I interact with female friends, But there is a fine line in the sand on the flirtation front....which requires continuous attention to avoid a misstep. When I do get close to this line...I know, but may cross it anyway because of who I am, and I depend on her to point these things out to me. In my case the concern is welcomed and indeed, a part of the relationship. This would be impossible if we did not talk about our lives with each other, and here again, is the key to making each other happy.
