Dealing with a Flirtatious Partner
Flirting
is a fun, social and healthy human behavior. It is a way we introduce our
existence to others, express our self – confidence and let others know that we
find them attractive. Even though it is an overall harmless behavior,
flirtation seems to be a problem in most relationships. People find it offensive
and disrespectful, as well as causing them to feel jealous. There are ways you
can deal with your partners flirtatious ways without having to end the
relationship or argue on a regular basis, by understanding the reasons and
meanings behind your partners flirting.
Okay,
so you would rather have your partner not flirt at all. This may be what you
want, but not necessarily what you are going to get. We all want to feel
special and like we are the only one our lover has eyes for, but the truth is,
your partners eyes have a right to explore whatever or whoever it is around
them, as do you. Being in a relationship never means that you own your partner
or can start changing things about them, which is why it is so essential that
you study your partners personality, attitudes and habits while you are still
in the dating process and before you decide to have an official relationship.
What
you should focus on is the reasons behind your partners flirting. It could very
well just be that your partner carries a high and self – confident personality,
and chooses to express that confidence though flirting, as many people do. If
this is the case, then you were probably already aware of your partners
confidence when you met him or her, but just grew less fond of it as you grew
more emotionally attached. In these cases, it would be best to get in touch
with your own self – confidence to insecurity, and learn to accept your
partners personality.
