My fiance tells me about an attractive young woman at work that he flirts with once in a while. I tried to explain to him that it's not something a married Christian man should do. It's like he thinks I am the one who does not get it. I told him that I think it is a sign of immaturity and he said it probably is. I told him it is a huge red flag and that I am not jealous, just scared because it shows an undivided heart. he still acted like I was the one that didn't understand and then said he won't do it anymore. But I want him to quit because it is the right thing to do, not to please me alone.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

888biblestudy, this is a big red flag that needs to be addressed before you marry him. Maybe some counseling would be good to see if you two are really on the same track.

[@miriandoherty6755]

Run, this is the taste of the beginning of your relationship with him.

[@sunniharrison9639]

Shared a video yesterday with my friend and she said she would watch more of you!

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Sunni Harrison, thank you for sharing. You rock.

[@jenayaha1386]

I'm struggling with my friend being flirty with my husband and my husband teases back. I told him it hurts me but he still does it and she is super attracted to him. Its worrisome

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

That is a bit worrisome, Jenayah A. Can you have the friend visit less often? Is your husband willing to get some marriage coaching or counseling? Maybe the flames need to be reignited for him and a professional can help with that. If it is something you are interested in, we have a free 25 minute call with one of our Live On Purpose coaches. Think about it, and if you decide to schedule you can do it here: DrPaulJenkins.com/breakthroughcall We also have a Positive Relationship Resources playlist to assist you: kzbin.info/aero/PLq2mRDkHEBPA410uJ9woXx9B9WiPyM7fX. Thank you for watching Live On Purpose TV.

So sorry. Get on a dating app! Best decision I made. Divorced and happier.

[@westindiepi]

She is not your 'friend'

[@jhenpenton6102]

I just gave birth a month ago and wasn't able to give what a man's needed then I accidentally read his conversation with this common friend he is flirting with. I never expected it from him, This is the first time he did it. Confronted him calmly and he admitted it. He promised that he will never do it again. I told him to block her on FB and avoid her and he did but we cannot avoid the girl and her husband forever because of business matters. The husband doesn't know anything. What should I do?

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Jhen Penton, sounds like you have done what needed to happen and he put the controls in place. Work on strengthening your relationship.

[@gloriaprice8179]

What you are saying sounds even beautiful, in theory. But when the offending party denies/stonewalls, there is nothing left to say or do. And I don't believe that you can love someone and flirt with their best friend (for example) at the same time. Much less when you are married. That is far from coherent. Although I like most of your videos, I have to respectfully disagree with what you say in this one. I don't think it'll resolve anything. Granted, you can't control what others do. And it's a waste of breath, even, to talk about consequences. But, I appreciate that you addressed this topic.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Thank you, Gloria. We don't have to agree on every topic and who knows, in the future I may feel differently.

[@petebaker5369]

Hey, I know this is a few months old, but I was wondering if you see this, whether you could do a video specifically on flirting and how to stop doing it! I am single but find myself flirting with people accidentally - I know you said it is more in some people’s personalities but I still find it’s unhelpful in certain scenarios and I’d like to break free from it before I get into a relationship!

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Pet Baker, thank you for watching Live On Purpose TV. I will add your idea to the topic development list.

[@sana409]

Great video. And very helpful.

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Sana K, thank you for watching.

[@saral4780]

Very good videos thank you so much

[@syedatawhidayasmin7311]

Staying silent and smoothly accepting what type of flirting husband doesn't touch the flrting husband. Because he drastically denies that he is flirting or he becomes more relaxed thinking that his wife is normal so he can do whatever he wants to do for multiple flirting. Andere keep Herself more busy chatting with so many ladies and go for dating .in that case how does wife can boost herself up amid this insulting ?

[@LiveOnPurposeTV]

Tawhida, stay focused in areas where you have control. His behavior is not one of those areas. You may decide you want to leave or something else.

[@syedatawhidayasmin7311]

@@LiveOnPurposeTV Thank you for the reply .

[@karolynferrara2089]

I disagree! This kind of response enables his bad and disrespectful behavior! To say ok and accept that he’s a flirt is not ok and is unacceptable. By agreeing with him no matter the response he gives will allow him to keep disrespecting you.
