When my wife enjoys the attention of another man, I feel threatened, even though I know she wouldn't cheat...

Question - (8 December 2005) 2 Answers - (Newest, 9 December 2005)
A male Canada, anonymous writes:

What is considered normal as far as enjoying attention from members of the opposite sex, while married? Is it normal to be flattered if you know somebody is attracted to you and you enjoy it?

If someone approaches my wife in a bar and she makes it clear she's married, is it still ok for her to chat and enjoy conversation, perhaps dance with the guy who approached her? I'm sure the attention is flattering but is that ok? It makes me feel threatened although I know she would never cheat. She thinks I'm crazy. This happened in a night club.

Thanks

mommyofthree agony auntI think if she has made it clear that she is married it is fine for her to chat with the guy. As far as dancing with him that is something you two need to work out together, there should be some happy medium that you will both be okay with. Obviously, you can't expect her to never have a conversation with another man, but also she should be willing to respect normal limits that you both agree upon. So you need to talk to her and let her know what you are comfortable with and what really bothers you, then you guys can start from there.

Did you go to the bar together? Let me get this straight. You are both in the bar together and she's being approached by other men that are chatting her up and then she dances with them? I definitely don't think thats right. It sounds as if she needs the attention from other men which concerns me because would it stop at just attention?
