I read an article in a magazine while I was at the chiropractor's office today. It was about flirting, and it told the stories of several married people who were engaging in a flirtatious relationship with someone other than their spouse.
I expected the psychologists that were sources in the story to advise against this, but they didn't. Instead the experts said there should be boundaries set by the two who are flirting, and they should make a pact, basically, that it won't go any further, even if the desire is there to do so.
I thought about how many people I have known in my life (including my childhood), and how many of those people have either cheated or been cheated on by a spouse. And I couldn't come up with anyone I knew who had a "friendship" that included flirting and had kept it just that, flirting.
Do you think flirting is healthy?
