Agreeing with what you (and someone else) said.
Also with Destrox, in the post after yours... it's an issue of respect, not of trust. I avoid flirting with other guys because I feel it would very rude and hurtful to my husband, even though he's very much NOT the jealous/insecure type. I'm certainly not "missing out" on anything by barring myself from flirting... I mean, what good does that kind of attention do in the long term for one's self image, anyway?
If I am talking at a party with someone of any gender, I appreciate their attention to my intelligence and/or wit as a person, not to the way I look as a female, or how sexy I appear to them... hello, there's a ring on my finger for a reason! My husband fulfills that sexual attention for me (among many other things!), and I really don't like it from anyone else... creeps me out, and is a sign of disrespect for our marriage, period.
I am not saying this is the case for everyone... but for us, and especially for me, this is the way I want it to be. I would be very uncomfortable flirting with other men on a regular basis.
